Prologue - Hell ain't a bad place to be
-*sigh* " and I thought that being ignored was harsh, but this ... is far worse" ... a phrase spoken for yourself, because no one is there to listen.
Darkness anywhere that look, so black, so cold...
One orb of flashy colored blue floats in complete darkness, with nothing around it. The orb can be called soul or mana's residual memory, but this is not something that someone knows... but something I'm telling you, spectator .
Who am I, you ask?
I'm THE ALLMIGHTY AND OMNISCIENT NARRATOR.
But not think that I'm one god, NO. I not have powers about the events that be happen, no, I just tell what will happen.
Gods are creatures of pure power that govern the laws of orden and chaos of universe and beyond, I only tell the tale.
But don't overlook me, because I know all the things that be or not in the time, beyond time and further time.
*cough cough* It seems to have lost me in small dillemmas about identities, sorry for this.
Like was telling, the orb floast in the darkness. How much time went? Days ? Weeks? Months? Years?
The orb not have ideia of this, without senses no have way to tell how many seconds passed, impossible even more tell the days, weeks or years.
In that dakness all that the orb can do is think and repent his life.
"Well, at least not have torture, if so, hell ain't a bad place to be.
Little know the orb, that this darkness is not hell. It is THE TUNNEL, one way for "souls" find Gods.
In one moment of eternal dark, one light rise, the orb be amazed for the light and in one second all darkness vanish and light is all. Astonished, orb-kyun, *cough* the orb not notices a man ahead. With white robe like the old greek of your world spectator, one old man with white hair and tanned skin, the face of this man, no, not man but god , is so incridible that until I, THE NARRATOR, can not describe such magnificence. And with one stronge voice, the god spoke:

Don't be proud, is not only u, each god can choose one soul. As a reward for this job, I will make your Girlfriend reincarnate and have a good life, So,do you accept ?"

"Good, u will be reincarnated in one world of magic and power,, my chosen, to make it more fun, I will give u one gift."- [Iudex]
"Hum...instead of one power as gift, could gave me some important information? Five to be exact."- [Orb]
"hooh, so, what information u request for me ?"- [Iudex]
"I want know,_ how to get immortality_, _how to use that so great magic_, _the laws that govern the world, whether or not the same as the physical in my old world_, _information about the biological structure of species with the greatest number and the most powerful with intellect or not_ and _properties that can increase the power of my future body_."-[Orb}

Tidal Lock
Humanity has finally taken the next step into space. Governments run research stations throughout the solar system while private enterprises mine asteroids for rare metals and exotic minerals. However, space remains beyond the reach of the everyday person. In contrast, virtual reality technology has led to an explosion of full immersion entertainment for the average consumer, and many people turned to VR for the thrill of spaceflight.One game, Parallax Gate, lets its players experience living in an interstellar civilization. For maximum realism, its developers created a world solely defined by the players' personal skills and ability.Mark Asami, a student of aerospace engineering at MIT, dreams of bringing spaceflight to the masses. To his disappointment, his first year courses barely relate to his interests, so he passes time as Aero Rayne in Parallax Gate with his roommate and their organization, the Temple Wraiths. Before they realized, a chain of in-game events drew them deeper into the game's world and politics than they ever intended to go.
8 131A Girl and Her Fate
Avien Shepard heralded change with his arrival. Not only was he born on the dawn a solar eclipse, three meteors lit up the sky on the day of his birth. Seven sages visited across seven years to gift him with knowledge of the seven legal schools of magic, and a deceased outlaw fought his way up from the hells to grant knowledge of the tabooed eighth on the next. On his eleventh birthday, a sword fell from the sky and landed in a very important chair. Soldiers from far and wide traveled to attempt to extract the sword from the queen’s throne, but none could shift the blade, until Avien. When he was fourteen, Avien learned of a prophecy that foretold of his decade long battle with the Demon Prince of Invea. But this isn't his story. Avien is kind of a chump. This is the story of Amber Jewel, a girl who has only been Chosen as another Chosen one’s wife. Updates Thursday, & Sunday.
8 185Renewal and Rebirth
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Interstellar travel. Life extension medicines. Advanced AI's All of these meant nothing to Jayden, she had been born too soon, her body unable to process the new technology. She was approaching the end of her life and had a choice to make. Deep Dive VR had progressed and real digitization and uploading was now an option for those unable to use life-extension treatments. For all the science the Human race had developed, Jayden was forced to take a different path. She would be digitized and explore a new world. One where cultivation and dinosaurs blended together.

For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!
8 283QQQQ
Have you ever noticed that the letter Q is unnecessary? It doesn't provide any function to the language. Any word spelled with it could just as easily be spelled with other letters. Does that mean it shouldn't exist? Of course not. In this universe, everything has a place. Cosmic balance, Karma, God's plan, the laws of physics—they're all trying to describe the same thing. There is nothing that exists without purpose, and nothing without purpose that can exist. You can take solace in knowing that, just like the useless letter Q, you have birthright to exist in this world. Nothing can take that from you. Unless a creator God breeds technicolor angel-beasts hellbent on ripping you out of reality, of course. When Mina learns that she was a cosmic accident—a being accidentally created without purpose—what was once an easygoing life starts to entwine with conspiracies, impossible occurrences, and deadly occult mysteries. Not to mention friends so dangerous and unpredictable they make the cosmic horrors look normal by comparison. When the questions never stop piling up, it's hard to know where to begin. But I'll give you a hint: they all begin with a Q.
