Starting Life In Another World Novels & Stories

Chapter 1: The System Awakens The world ended on a Tuesday afternoon while I was stuck in traffic on the highway outside the city. One moment the sky was its usual dull gray, the next it split open with a sound like tearing metal. Purple lightning cracked across the heavens, and a voice—no, a presence—echoed inside every living mind. System Initialization Complete. Welcome to the New World.

“You know what that thing is?” The creature’s burning eyes never left the sky. “It is something older than your world.” Dax crossed his arms, now tense. “That was helpful.” The creature continued, its voice low and shaky. “The first war wasn’t fought here.” Aria’s breath caught. “There was a first war?” The stranger finally lowered its gaze slightly. “Your world was built after.” Silence fell between them. Dax felt his heart pounding faster than ever. “You’re saying… our world was born from something worse?”

I despise myself too, for turning my back on the gateway to heaven. However, you, you're the one I hate most. You showed me just how pathetic I am and turned my every struggle into a cruel joke.

In another life, could it be my turn to love you?] The letter ended with a trace of a tear long since dried.

The kind of look one would give a stranger on the street—no love, no hate, nothing at all. At last, he understood. He had lost me forever. Months later, I read in the news that Joe's university was embroiled in an academic scandal. Ivy's family was implicated too, and their empire crumbled into bankruptcy. Sasha called, gossiping that Joe could not withstand the blow and had gone mad. Meanwhile, my Rebirth series won the International Art Gold Award of the year. When I heard the news, Nathan came out of the studio, wrapped his arms around me from behind, and rested his chin lightly on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Caitlyn. I had misunderstood you. I couldn't marry you in this life, but if there's a next life, I'll marry you as soon as I can." She rolled up her sleeve, revealing a new tattoo. It was a photo of us from when we were together. Through her tears, she said, "It's okay. I’ll never forget you. In the next life, I'll wait for you to marry me." Now free of attachments, I felt lighter. Slowly, I began to lose control over my form, and I realized my time in this world had come to an end. For the first time, I felt true peace. It was as if I was showing the living that death was not the end of life, but rather, the beginning of a new journey.

Maybe he had never been treated like that before, but slowly, the calls stopped. The messages also went silent. At last, I could start adjusting to a new life. At first, it felt strange being in an unfamiliar place and a brand-new job all by myself. However, little by little, I realized I could actually find joy in it. Life began to feel meaningful and purposeful again. The part of me that had been suppressed for years was finally breaking free. Sometimes, though, my thoughts would drift back to the past, to those unforgettable moments that had carved themselves into my heart.

But my memory was sharp as a tack, sometimes too sharp. I placed my hand on my tummy that was just now starting to grow as fear rose up inside me. Things may be different here than in my village, but a young unwed mother faced the same challenges no matter where she was in the world. And for one such as myself, with not even family or friend about, it was doubly hard.

It was almost certain that he would not let her have the baby anymore. If I were in her shoes, I hoped that I could realize that something was not quite right and run before it was too late. Otherwise, Jake might just decide to get his revenge. Sure enough, Jake's name appeared in the news some days later. The news reporter said that a man had broken into an apartment and stabbed a woman. The woman suffered severe bleeding, and her uterus was damaged. As a result of the attack, she was unable to bear children for the rest of her life.

We start late every year, why should senior year be any different? We’re all worried about Alejandra’s first day. She’s starting at this school as a senior, which puts her at a disadvantage. The rest of us came here as freshman—as all the students do. We were raised knowing exactly what we are. In the rare event that parents die before a child is of age, another shifter family always takes in their kids. They’re never left to be adopted by humans, which makes Alejandra very unique. Of course, there is also the fact that none of us know what she is.
