"I'm sorry did you just announce my engagement to your bratty son without even letting me know!"
You exclaim after you enter the throne room, looking like you are ready to kill someone.
Celestan sits on his throne, with his legs spread lazily, looking annoyed and tired.
"Yes, and? I see nothing wrong in that"
You scoff, shaking your head in disapproval.
"Guards leave us" the said men obey their king, and take their leave.
"I'm pretty sure, that you know that in the real world you have to take my permission, I'm not a toy" you spat.
"But we aren't in the real world, you are in my world, therefore, you follow my rules, darling."
He stands up and walks towards you gracefully.
"You are living on an island, where the men are a majority, and you are the only minority" you gulp, as he sneers at you.
"So, you better start following the rules, dear future daughter in law" his tone is filled with mockery.
When he sees the displeased expression on your face, he chuckles, grabbing a strand of your hair.
It has grown longer and faster over the past months, having it reach past your waist.
"Why do I have a feeling that you are another entity, Celestan" you admit, glaring into his eyes.
"You are right, I'm another entity" your eyes widen at his confirmation.
Wait, so Celestan isn't a human being from the start? is that why he existed way before anyone on this island?
"How about this, let us play a game" you raise an eyebrow at his suggestion.
"What type of game?" you inquire curiously.
"If you can guess what I am, I will return you to your home"
This perks your interest, making you excited to return home.
However, you don't show it.

"And if I guess incorrectly?"
Indeed, what will happen if you make an incorrect guess? Will you get punished?
"You marry my son as appointed" you let out a sigh.
"Well, you look like-" he cuts you off, by placing his whole hand on your lips.
"The deadline is in three days, so take your time to think"

"Celestan must be a demon,
there is no other explanation for his devilish behavior"
You mumble to yourself as you walk in the hallways of the palace.
The thought of your freedom depending on one answer stresses you out.
Suddenly, you bump shoulders with someone, causing you to stop and apologize.
"Sorry, didn't mean to bump into you" you exclaim.
Your eyes widen at how handsome the man is unbelievably handsome.
He is way taller than you or anyone you have seen, making you feel like an ant compared to him.
He has red curly hair and bright green eyes which are glaring into your eyes.
"Huh? So, his highness decided to replace the old bitch with a new one" you are surprised by his words.
"Excuse me, what?" the stranger chuckles.
"You are not the first woman to come here"

8 97New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make.

8 141Coalescence of Two Lifetimes
Cilen was you typical, run-of-the-mill kinda guy. Well, until his parents passed away when he was 17 forcing him to learn to grow up. Fast. He figured it wouldn't be that bad. He had a house, he had an inheritance, he had friends that kept him company. And at first, it really wasn't anything But sometimes, the loneliness just gets to you. Sometimes, the expectation to not disappoint just gets to you. Sometimes, life just gets to you. And it brought Cilen to his knees, lamenting, cursing, questioning, "why?" "Why did his parents pass away as they did, forcing him to fend for his own?" "Why wasn't he born in a rich household, with a silver spoon in his mouth that catered to his every need?" "Why was every step forwards so difficult, in this accursed society?" He wished that everything would be easy, like inside the worlds of the wuxia novels that he had grown up reading. Special constitution, lucky breaks, fast powerup, get all the chicks and defeat the big evil guy. Simple, easy, satisfying. But life ain't cut out to be that way. The main actors were already set, and there was no changing them. Unless, you moved to a different stage... But this ain't one of your friendly neighborhood transmigrations. It rewards those that are patient, creative and willing to adapt. But perhaps Cilen is able to make use of this opportunity and become something more. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ This story is a personal love letter to all the pieces of fiction that I have read. Its a culmination of the things that made me laugh, cry and smile when I first read them and It has been a personal wish to craft a story that makes me feel the way I did when reading those stories for the first time. Its gonna be a slow ride but worth it. Promise. Photo by Johannes Plenio on Unsplash
