He had no right to make me feel anything. I returned home to find Mira asleep on the couch with her teddy bear. I carried her to bed gently and sat beside her, brushing her forehead. “I am staying,” I whispered. “I will not run. Not this time.” Because staying meant watching them crumble. Staying meant seeing the truth unfold. Staying meant getting justice for the girl who died and came back as someone else. The one who was living her second life. Revenge was not a quick thing. It needed patience. And having Aiden near made everything easier. He would not break me again.

I did. As I escorted my mother out of the house, she told me my father would be visiting soon. She had come mainly to express her satisfaction about my divorce. She never liked Stella and I didn't know why. I called Alfredo. He was my second. “Sir” “I'm coming to the office now, prepare him.” “Yes sir” I cut the call. “Lisa!”I called. Shortly after, I heard her light thumps on the floor. She was so delicate. So small. So pretty.

"Young master, this island is the one known in the ancient times as the land of gold. But it is now one of the places within the Second Layer. According to legends, Earth is composed of many layers and most mortals like humans live at the First Layer.” This was his first hearing about this. Interest showing in his face, he signaled the woman to continue to which the latter obliged. "The majority of creatures only see what is in their Layer. Still, there are also people and beings with six senses and supernatural abilities that could see through the next layer. Within the Second Layer, there are many places like our island that are scattered throughout the world. Creatures living in the Secon

I looked at the sky, at the beautiful, peaceful world we had built, and then I looked back down at the dirt. "We gave our iron a soul, Elara," I murmured. "I think we just woke up the iron that belongs to the earth." Beneath our boots, completely undetected by the biological grid, a second pulse rippled through the deep tectonic plates. A slow, heavy, impossibly massive heartbeat. The era of the peace was over. The era of the deep forge had begun.

"Yes, only our ancestors know about the twin planets, Earth and Daun. They are alike in some ways but also very different, just as this assignment, Bastion. Earth has been inhabited much longer, but Daun is much more technologically advanced and has a more advanced lifestyle. Our DNA is stronger, and our natural resources keep us healthy, so we live much longer than people on Earth. We don't have chemicals polluting our air, water, or food supply, so we rarely need medical attention. On Daun, unlike on Earth, we do not ignore the Supreme One's scroll, which has given us advanced knowledge that guides us and has saved us, keeping us alive. “Yes. I've finished studying the first scroll, the on

“Well, that’s the thing. He’s gone on an expedition to the southern realm’s Tūkāriri Jungle. He’s heard legends of a second meteor landing there way back in the Age of Darkness. The meteor is said to contain the element Adamantine, the same stuff that protects the Egg of the Dragon God. My father knew such a material would bring about untold wonders in the field of civil engineering, but he also knew it could pose a threat to the world if it fell in the wrong hands.” “There was a second meteor?” Temujin said incredulously. “A twin of the Fire from Heaven?” “Yes, but it’s supposed to be smaller and the exact opposite of Fire from Heaven. If Tenrai no Kasai was a bane, the second meteor was a

Seeing Philip’s bewildered look, Roger turned around, looked up at the starry sky, pointed at several stars, and said, “Do you know that those shining stars will be the biggest enemy of our world and civilization? The warning signs are not without basis. More than ten years ago, the Star Ocean Institute in our country discovered several strange signals, which proved that there were a small number of civilizations out there. All of them belong to the second civilization.” The second civilization?! Philip felt a sense of crisis. He raised his eyebrows, looked at the starry sky, and asked, “Is there really a second civilization?” Roger hummed, raised his hand, and waved. The starry sky outside

The universe seemed to whisper secrets of adventure and destiny, as if inviting us to embark on a journey that would transcend the boundaries of our imagination. Princess Golder and I remained embraced in each other’s arms, cherishing the profound connection that bound us. The terrace became a sanctuary, a place where time stood still, and the outside world faded into insignificance. It was here, in this moment of quiet reflection, that we allowed ourselves to dream and envision the future we hoped to create for our family.

As long as you trust me, Joshua. "Of course, I trust you!" he exclaimed. "And take good care of my goddaughter!" Joshua watched as Lorelei and I boarded the plane to Camdonia. As I stepped onto the land I'd left behind long ago, I took a deep breath. A flurry of emotions stirred up in my chest, making my stomach flutter with nerves. Lorelei asked, "Mommy, when can we go back to Aberia? My friends are waiting for me to build aircraft models with them."

“You won’t have it.” The vision faded. A third world appeared—lush, oceanic, bioluminescent. A conduit stood in the water, singing harmonics that calmed entire tides. Dante frowned. “So two successes, one failure.” Aiden whispered, “And Earth is next.” Dante turned his face toward him, firm and unwavering. “Then we make Earth a success story.” The light dimmed. The chamber returned. The capsule sealed itself with a soft hum. Aiden sagged, dizzy.
