It was my girlfriend's birthday. I took her to my family's newly opened restaurant for dinner. Since we were planning to have cake later, the two of us ordered a single set meal that included a pizza and a plate of pasta. Smiling, I handed the menu to the waiter. He took it with a fake smile. I heard him calling us paupers under his breath. I frowned. "What did you just say?" The waiter froze for a second. He then put on another fake smile. "I said I'll have your order ready shortly." I snorted and replied fluently in the same language he'd used. "You just called us paupers."

I was unable to perceive the man before me. He was greater than expected, overshadowing me, every one of his muscles flexed and his jaws gripped, disdain and outrage all around his face. He resembled an incensed monster, his noses erupting and his eyes red. I was feeling pulled towards him, unknowingly my hands came to him and laid on his chest I could feel his body loosen up quickly under my touch, his breathing dialed back and his face mellowed. He resembled the sweet Karish I knew. "If it's not too much trouble, quiet down, "I said in a delicate voice. His eyes shot back to me and he folded his arms over my abdomen pulling me to him. I could feel him sniffing my hair then he established his head on the hoodlum of my neck. I lifted my arms and put them around his neck. We remained here briefly, embracing one another. It felt close, warm, safe, and agreeable like I was home like I was the place where I should be

It is 9:00 pm, and a soft glow still lights the master bedroom on the Lowe residence's second floor. "Helena, there's only a month left before the marriage agreement ends. Once it's up, I'll go ahead and arrange the fake death." Sitting at her vanity, Bianca Lane types the message and sends it to her mother-in-law, Helena Johnson. A reply comes back almost instantly. "Bianca, you've worked so hard these past ten years. You've taken such good care of Sebastian and even gave birth to a child for our family. "To me, you've always been my daughter-in-law. Why not just forget about the agreement?" Reading the message, Bianca unconsciously tightens her grip on her phone before quickly typing her response. "No, Helena. Let's just stick to the agreement."

"Ms. Medici, you've officially purchased the island. It's completely off the grid—once you're in, no one can find you. Also, the custom-made family you requested is ready. They're professionally trained to give you nothing but unconditional love."

At first I thought no one can break the wall I built for my self long time ago. Nagagalit ako na walang dahilan, naiinis kahit sa kunting pagkakamali lang. I secretly date different woman in and out of the country. I'm cold. Heartless. Emotionless. But everything changed when I realized something. She's my secretary for a long time. I used to shout at her face every mistake she did. I usually put things hard on her. I made her cry every single day. But as if she doesn't care at all. She's still my secretary even I showed my darkest side to her. And that's how our story started. I fell in love and vice versa. But she left me. And now I believed, she's my karma.

Naniniwala ka ba sa karma? Sya si Danon Acosta. Nasa tamang edad, gwapo, macho, mayaman at habulin ng babae. Aminado syang hindi sya pahuhuli sa pagiging babaero sa kanilang magkakaibigan. Marami nang babae ang umiyak dahil sa kanya. Hindi naman nya kasalanan yun dahil unang una palang ay sinabihan na nya ang mga ito na wag mai-inlove sa kanya. Ngunit isang araw may isang matandang babaeng wala yata sa sarili nito at hinulaan sya. At ayon nga daw sa kapalaran nya ay nalalapit na ang karma nya. Ang babaeng magpapatibok ng triple sa bato nyang puso. Ang babaeng magpapaiyak sa kanya. Ang babaeng mahihirapan syang mapaibig kahit lumuhod pa sya sa asin. Tinawanan lang nya ito. Hindi sya naniniwala sa karma. Tao lang ang gumagawa ng karma nya. Pero ng makilala nya si Maggie ang hipag ng kaibigan nyang si Austin ay nagiba ang tibok ng puso nya. Unang kita pa lang nya dito ay alam nyang tinamaan na sya. Pero hindi pala ganun kadali ang pagdadaanan nya para mapaibig ito. Dahil desi syete lang ito at malaki pa ang pagkadisgusto sa kanya, laging nakasimangot tuwing nakikita sya. Ang isip nya ay nagsasabi na kalimutan na lang ito at ibaling na lang ang atensyon sa iba, ngunit ang puso nya naman ay ito lang ang hinahanap hanap kahit halos isumpa sya nito ng sirain nya ang date nito sa lalaking gusto nito.

The story follows a person transported to another world as a dwarf named Karma. While living a quiet life in this new realm, Karma encounters Freya, a succubus Demon Lord, who commands him to undertake a seemingly impossible task: assist her in completing her mission in this world. Freya presents Karma with a stark choice—ascend the Sky Tower of Doom to kill her or remain in the tower and love her for eternity. As Karma grapples with this dilemma, he meets Mirai, the world’s hero, who is desperately hunting him to obtain the Black Crystal embedded in his body. Mirai pleads with Karma to sacrifice his life for the sake of humanity and her mission on this planet. However, when Karma refuses, she offers an alternative: she’ll stop attacking him if he agrees to join her and live peacefully in the city of humans. Caught between the conflicting demands and missions imposed by the goddess on both the Demon Lord and the hero, Karma is thrust into a chaotic, nerve-wracking, and relentless adventure that upends his tranquil existence, forever altering his peaceful life.
