《The Retribution Contract》46.

"What is this hyung?" Jungkook questioned looking at the older with his confused doe eyes. "A will." Ji-ung informed. "Tae was scared that he might not make it through the baby's delivery process. His heart condition couldn't be trusted. So he wrote and legalised this will before Haneul's birth. He wanted to make sure that Han-Gyoel does not get the thing for which he destroyed so many lives. He wanted to make sure that you and the others were safe from his clutches. This will states that after him all his property will be yours."
Hearing him Jungkook looked towards the floor. "He always thought about me. Didn't he?" His voice was low and full of emotions. He missed Taehyung so much. He so badly wanted to embrace him and take in his addicting scent. "Yes he did. This is why he also wrote you a letter." Ji-ung said handing him a smaller envelope. "I'll look into the property transfer and you can go now Jungkook. Empty up your mind and read this letter. It might be the cure to your pains or a way to find that cure."
The ravenette looked at the letter in his hand intently and nodded. Mouthing a small 'thank you' he quickly walked out of the cabin. A few minutes later he was inside his car all alone. With shaking hands and glassy eyes he opened the envelope. Gently he took out the letter and started reading the message his love had left for him.
Hey Kook!
If you're reading this then I'm definitely not there with you anymore. (Oh my god. Writing a letter is really awkward Kook). It's just how things sadly turned out to be because if I was given a choice then I would have stuck to you for eternity.

When I was on the verge of losing myself you miraculously came to me with that book in your hand. That meeting was so random but after that my life just got better and better. The love you gave me was priceless and eternal. The way you held me. The way you looked at me. Everything filled me up with a new warmth of compassion. You were the missing piece of my soul and I was lucky enough to find it.
Our love has gone through so much. So many misunderstandings. So many problems but it never faded. We both know it. Our minds might have had some other thoughts but our hearts always knew the reality. We were just too dumb and adamant to listen to it. But it's okay because we are humans after all. Mortals that make mistakes all the time.
Our time together might have come to an end now but our love is eternal. I might not be with you in person but I'll always be there with you in your heart. Losing someone is not easy. I know that Kook. We both know it. It makes you feel empty. It makes you feel as if you have no happiness left in your life.
But is it fair Kook? Associating our happiness and our entire life to that feeling of despair? No it's not. Happiness shouldn't be stereotyped. It's a beautiful feeling that can come in the most unexpected way. It's already there around you. All you have to do is open your eyes and identify it. It might be difficult in the beginning. It's not easy to come out of your sorrows but you'll definitely be able to do it. I trust you Kook.
And as far as I am concerned, I have so much to apologize for. Sorry for not being with you. Sorry for giving you pain. Sorry for not being able to embrace you and wipe your tears. Sorry for every bad decision I took but it was our fate. Something that we couldn't control.

But was it sad? Nah! Not even a single percent. We might have had some sad moments in our life but just think about it Kook. Think about all those amusement park dates. Think about all those nights together, those celebrations we had and the happiness we felt. Think about the laughs, tears and smiles we had together. All those beautiful memories are so much more than those few bad days.
It's okay to cry for sometime. It's okay to feel sad but don't dwell on it. Don't let me be a painful memory in your life. Instead celebrate me. Let the memories we created together warm your insides and make you feel small tingles of happiness. Remember me as a beautiful chapter of your life. A chapter that might be over now but will always be a beautiful memory to you. A chapter that doesn't make you weak but stronger instead.
You will do that for me. Right? I have full faith in you. You are my Jungkook and you can do anything.
Always remember this: I will never stop loving you.
Bye love.
Jungkook leaned back on the car seat with tears flowing freely from his eyes. A sudden warmth had spread through his body. Those words felt like a warm hug from Taehyung. Those words gave him a sudden sense of relief.
It was as if his heart had been waiting for those words of comfort. And Jungkook would never be able to forget that feeling. Not now and not even in the future.
The feeling that everything will be alright.

Hiraeth: Promise of the World
On a rainy night, a young woman is transported to the enchanting world of Sol'h'meyr. Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze. Disillusionment leading to anger has erupted into violence across the deceptively peaceful land. New friends and allies gather by her side, but tragedy and betrayal lurk closer than she realizes. Hiraeth is the idyllic beginning tainted with dark shadows in the epic fantasy series, Singularity Cycle.

The original version of the first book was published on RR in 2019 and has since seen multiple revisions based on reader feedback with this one as the final and official fourth version before the second book. While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
