"I'm sorry Becky, I'm so sorry..." Rebecca sat limply on the floor, unable to believe what she had just heard. "Okay, that's enough! You've heard it clearly, right, Ms. Beckett?

On my twentieth birthday, my father asked me to draw from a box of straws. It was to pick a husband between William Smith and Austin Smith to inherit North Town. The short straw represented Austin, while the long straw represented William. No matter how hard I tried, I could not get the long straw. However, I was certain that I did not want to marry Austin. I drew straws for three years, but it was to no avail. I had no choice but to tamper with the straws to marry William as I wished. However, ten years into our marriage, he was no longer gentle and kind. He had turned into a really cold person. He neither returned home nor touched me. Even when I threatened him with a knife, he refused to talk to me. Despite feeling hurt, I was unwilling to let him go. That was until I watched him kick away the only medicine I had for my asthma while I was writhing on the floor. “I was the one who switched out the straws. There was no long straw, yet you forced me to marry you. Mandy died from a broken heart, so you should pay with your life.” When I opened my eyes again, I was holding a short straw. I calmly said, “Since it’s the short one, I choose Austin.”

Kael Draven died in the most ridiculous way possible, chasing fried chicken across the street. When he wakes up, he finds himself reborn in a world of magic and monsters. A second chance at life. A chance to become powerful. There is only one problem. His stats are completely useless. Strength: F Mana: F Speed: F And yet, one thing stands above everything else. Luck: SSS Spells fail, but enemies fall. Battles turn deadly, but somehow he survives. Treasures appear when he least expects them. To everyone else, Kael looks like a hidden genius.

But the truth is much simpler. “I swear I didn’t do anything.” As misunderstandings grow and powerful enemies begin to take interest, Kael is dragged into conflicts far beyond his control. Because in a world ruled by power, destiny, and gods… His “luck” might be the most dangerous force of all.

Meine Jugendliebe, die mir die Ehe versprochen hatte, sobald wir das Studium abgeschlossen hätten, machte der falschen Erbin Klara Weber einen Heiratsantrag – ausgerechnet bei meiner Abschlussfeier. Und Michael Hoffmann, der in den Augen aller als aristokratischer Mönch galt, erklärte mir öffentlich seine Liebe – nur kurz nachdem sich meine Jugendliebe verlobt hatte. Fünf Jahre lang war er in unserer Ehe außerordentlich liebevoll und verehrte mich zutiefst. Bis ich zufällig sein Gespräch mit einem Freund belauschte. „Michael, Klara ist inzwischen berühmt geworden. Willst du weiterhin mit Sarah Theater spielen?“ „Klara kann ich sowieso nicht heiraten, das spielt keine Rolle mehr. Außerdem kann sie, solange sie bei mir ist, Klaras Glück nicht im Wege stehen.“ Und seine kostbaren religiösen Schriften – in jeder einzelnen stand Klaras Name: „Möge Klara sich von ihren Obsessionen befreien, möge sie Frieden für Körper und Seele finden.“ „Möge Klara alles erhalten, was sie sich wünscht, möge ihre Liebe frei von Sorgen sein.“ ... „Klara, wir sind in diesem Leben nicht füreinander bestimmt, ich wünsche mir nur, dass wir im nächsten gemeinsam gehen können.“ Fünf Jahre der Selbsttäuschung, und ich erwachte in einem Augenblick. Ich besorgte mir eine falsche Identität und plante einen Ertrinkungsunfall. Von nun an müssen wir uns, Leben für Leben, nie wieder begegnen.
