Chances to Another Life 1. Message
[Do you feel that your life is worthless? Always failing, losing a lot of things, and losing the will to live? It's really sad! But don't worry, I can give you some opportunities to live like a strong person. I know you want it. Don't be afraid, just come to the Liveless building across from the abandoned apartment in the city park area. I'll be waiting for you!]I sighed after reading this nonsensical text message. There were about 10 messages sent to my number since yesterday from a completely unknown number. I decided to call it, but only heard the operator say that the number was out of service.Tonight was bright as usual for this dry season. The sky wasn't too dark, with a crescent moon hanging beautifully in the distant sky above, not to mention the presence of stars that would delight astronomers. Unfortunately, I wasn't interested in celestial objects.Well, here I am on the roof of my friend's karaoke cafe, because he invited me to help him prepare an engagement event for hi
Chances to Another Life 2. Solace
The empty streets and the brightness of the lights along the road made me quicken my pace as I looked around. The dark alleys I passed, along with walls covered in graffiti created by mischievous hands, gave the illusion of ghosts I had seen on television.I'm not usually afraid of supernatural beings or the dark. I often come home late at night when I work overtime and stay alone in my tiny apartment, and nothing scary has ever happened. But this time was different. There was a strange feeling as I walked through the city park area that I had walked through a thousand times in my life.The terrorizing text messages stopped at the last message. Whoever was behind this terror certainly succeeded in making me follow their wishes. Only this time, they managed to scare me into ignoring my common sense telling me to turn right and quickly leave the city park where the Liveless building is located.No, I am determined. I will find this person and interrogate him—how could he know my name? I
Chances to Another Life 3. First World
For a moment I thought I was sinking into a cold, dark and deep ocean. My hands and feet were paddling, looking for something to hold on to, but all there was was emptiness. Then I realized that I was floating somewhere. My body was floating as if defying gravity.I opened my eyes, and all I could see were blurry flashes that were not clear. It was like an empty room without even a speck of dust; I almost doubted how I could breathe because I wasn't sure if this room had oxygen.Gradually, however, my senses began to adjust. There was nothing to see in this empty space, no matter how desperately my eyes looked around. It felt like my weight was now as light as a feather, easily played by the wind, but fortunately there was no breeze here.My distorted mind still had various bitter memories from my 27 years of life; I took a deep breath to calm myself down. I wondered if this was the afterlife, and if the dwarf-like man who had been haunted me with text messages at the hotel turned out
Chances to Another Life 4. Forbidden Love
Could it be that Solace, while peering into my memories, can also sense how much I love books, especially fantasy and kingdom genre novels? If so, Solace has chosen a world that suits me.Now I am leaning on the bed, sipping the delicious pumpkin soup, prepared by the skilled royal chef and delivered directly with smoke still rising from the pot.Now I understand my situation, the beautiful woman sitting in the chair looking at me is a princess of the king. The servant who brought the soup calls her Princess Adellia. I am relieved from trying to embarrass myself and avoid Adellia's suspicion that I am actually someone from a planet called Earth.This place is similar to the cottages that often appear on my social media page with titles like: aesthetic cottage. Although it is made of wood—I know it is not ordinary quality wood—this cottage is more comfortable than my brick-walled apartment.I could spend all day looking at the beautiful carvings on the ceiling, which I've just noticed
Chances to Another Life 5. The King
Good news, I was also invited to the palace by the king. Otherwise, I would have been wandering around here all day, trying to figure out how to solve the forbidden love affair between Adellia and Elliot.On the way to the palace, I couldn't take my eyes off the two of them riding Jill together. As for me, I was brought by the soldier who volunteered to let me ride his horse.Judging by the soldier's nonchalant attitude, I guessed that Adellia and Elliot didn't even care about showing affection in public, even in a royal setting.I looked at the ever-changing clouds, with dark clouds moving along. I am being "trained" to become human and trying to reduce negative thoughts, but I cannot help but lose respect for Adellia and Elliot.I mean, what is going through their minds as they enter into this relationship? Adellia must be aware that Elliot is already married, yet he still pursues her and cheats on his wife. It hasn't even been twenty-four hours in this world and my head is already
Chances to Another Life 6. Military Commander
Believe it or not, I seem to be destined to be a hunter in this life. I hang my sword from my back without worrying that I will stumble and the sword will jump out of its sheath and cut me in half.The bow feels comfortable in my grip, and I didn't even tremble when I practiced archery in the cottage last night, which resulted its interior being adorned with arrows scattered on the wooden walls.This fact makes me a little happy because I can finally excel at something. In my previous life, I had no skills at all. I couldn't even walk five meters without tripping over my own feet.I warm up before leaving the cottage, and only then do I realize that my body feels energetic, as if I had just showered in an incredibly cool stream. My mind still wanders a lot, though, thinking about Adellia's problems. But apart from that, I am grateful for my new muscular body.I can feel the thickness of my upper arms like a real fitness trainer.Confidently praising myself, I open the door of the cabi
Chances to Another Life 7. Being Hunted? Why Not!
I am not a skilled archer, so it was a miracle that the arrow hit the panther's eye and I ended up being chased by a four-meter-long animal.This is not hunting, this is being hunted.I have decided to write about this experience in my future job application. Do any of you have experience working in multinational companies? Well, I have experience being hunted by supernatural fantasy creatures.Now, the beast is getting closer. I leap over giant rocks easily, but the Panther does the same effortlessly. Fortunately, the condition of the forest doesn't make it difficult for me, but I still lose track of Cedric and don't know where he is. Does he really think I'm such an expert hunter that he won't wait for me to fight a one-eyed black panther?I cross a small river with shaky steps; cats don't like water, so I assume black panthers are similar, since I consider them big cats. The animal's growl sounds loud in my ears; it wasn't for nothing that I threw myself into this situation.I rea
Chances to Another Life 8. I Took a Course with Princess
I have nothing to do but wander aimlessly around the palace corridor and rather than be stared at by the guards, so here I am, embroidering a blanket with Adellia and Aunt Alexa.After returning from the hunt this morning, I immediately carried out my assignment from the king to monitor Adellia's activities. However, I didn't expect to end up embroidering with them.Well, I have no problem with embroidery or sewing. I used to sew my own torn clothes because my mother was always busy working. I don't consider it a woman's job, but sitting in a luxurious room with tea and delicious snacks turned out to be something I enjoyed.However, my life feels completely different from this morning. Just this morning, I was being chased by Thorn-tailed Panthers, and now I'm feeling the gentle breeze from the open window as I embroider wool threads."Adellia, you are already 23 years old, aren't you? No wonder your father insisted I teach you the household chores," Aunt Alexa said.I glanced at Adel

136. Lived the Life You Love
I gasped like a fish on land, truly, it felt like I would die on the spot as soon as I crossed paths with Solace. My knuckles were even colder, and my fingernails suddenly turned blue. Cold sweat poured down my back, and my chest was tight. This can't be a coincidence, there must be a purpose for Solace to appear like that, even though he never cared about me before. The grip on my shoulder reflexively made me jump. Leon was also surprised and released his hand on my shoulder with a worried expression. "Are you okay, Joe? You look sick all of a sudden," he said. I tried to neutralize my breathing and realized I was in an alert position, my hands clenched into fists as if ready to punch someone. Damn it, why is the effect of Solace's existence making me this anxious? "Oh, yeah, I'm just sleep-deprived," I boasted. Leon then gave me a bottle of mineral water and at that moment I realized that we had arrived at Mr. Jaden's residence, even the landlord had gotten off the carriage with
135. The Evidence
"From the report of the investigating team, it can be confirmed that there is no evidence whatsoever around the hut and the surrounding area. Even so, the charges will still be dropped because the defendant cannot defend his innocence."I immediately stood up with a fierce face surpassing Leon's lawyer who also showed an expression of shock. This old fart had really eaten bribe money! However, I then restrained myself after receiving a sharp glare from the judge. I wasn't afraid of him, but I kept my promise to Mr. Jaden who was now looking at me as if to imply to stay calm. Leon, on the other hand, just looked down and didn't answer any of the questions the magistrate threw at him, further corroborating the accusation. "That's not true, Your Honor Judge. Leon had a strong alibi at the time of the theft," argued the lawyer. Then, the head of the investigation team spoke up. "That still doesn't confirm anything. Who knows he may have destroyed evidence, because even Mr. Josse's res
134. The Investigation
By the authorities, the entire area from the cottage to the estate was heavily guarded by security guards in all black uniforms. No one was allowed in, except the investigation team who were carefully searching for evidence of the case. Mr. Jaden watched from his terrace with a hawk-like gaze. Mr. Josse and his henchmen had returned home after making a scene on the way here. This incident was more like a search of an accused smuggler or terrorist than a search for evidence of a missing diamond necklace. I let out a long sigh, remembering Leon who was still in temporary prison. He didn't deserve all this mistreatment. I kicked the scattered pebbles as I moved away from Mr. Jaden's employees who were whispering excitedly about this case. I was pessimistic about Leon's eventual fate at the hands of the judges who clearly favored Mr. Josse. I also didn't trust the authorities because they could have been bribed to fabricate evidence against Leon. I had to rely on my own two hands. I ce
133. Suddenly I'm in Court
"Your Honor, allow the witness to give his statement regarding this case and the accused." The man in the smart blue suit spoke with a very convincing and confident gesture. He gave me a quick glance as if to indicate that it was my turn to speak. The lawyer was directly appointed by Mr. Jaden to handle Leon's indictment case. That's right, last night I couldn't resist those rich men from searching my and Leon's cottage. As a result, all the contents of the cottage were taken out and left in ruins. I was worried that they would find my gold coin and accuse me of stealing it, but as it turned out... guess what? That gold coin wasn't anywhere! It seemed like Solace didn't include it because this was the last world before I returned to my original place. But, what right does he have to do that? I could have used that coin to bribe the judge so that this case would be over quickly and I wouldn't be looked down upon by those rich people sitting across from me. "Brother Joe, please give
132. The Wealthy Neighborhood
House—I mean, Mr. Josse's mansion was only two houses away from Mr. Jaden's residence. My guess must be correct that the countryside here is filled with wealthy landlords who own mansions and thousands of acres of land. If the countryside is like this, I wonder how life is in the city? Or are there narrow slum alleys like where I used to live. I parked the brown stallion pulling Mr. Josse's cart of ordered goods. I then ducked in front of his towering fence, trying to find the bell because there was no way I could just yell 'package'. Besides being rude, I'd only get a sore throat from it. Soon the gate was opened by two men dressed as servants. "Please take it directly to the back kitchen," one of them said. I pulled the horse's reins and entered the enormous courtyard, filled with well-decorated weeds, not to mention bonsai that I'm sure would be worth hundreds of dollars if sold. However, those bonsai seemed to be just yard ornaments that had no value here. I shook my head in a
131. I'm Close to the Trouble Makers
Fertilizing the fields turned out to be very tiring, I thought with my previous experience I would suddenly become turbo-charged, but it was the same with the scorching sunlight in the morning. I then put down the sack of stinky fertilizer, and endured the nausea while drinking soothing water. I'd been working since early morning, but this vast field seemed endless. Maybe it's because there are only two of us working, so it feels like it's taking forever. By the way, I'm a farm worker for a rich merchant with a gothic mansion-like house. It's quite a distance from the fields and the cottage, but it's clearly visible from here. I haven't met the owner either because it seems like the workers are scheduled to work at certain hours. I just followed along when my colleague said that the fields were ready to be fertilized. Now I'm just watching the man tirelessly working, since I came, he hasn't even sat down or had a drink of water. He was tall and strong looking, though. "Leon, take
130. Start A New Role
I'm now like a spirit floating through the air, passing through a line of soldiers to a small cemetery at the edge of a village in the middle of nowhere. Time in a vacuum is indeed different from time in the ordinary world, then it seems that I have passed through a lot of things because now Adam's body and the civilians who were hit by the bomb have been buried. I stare at the tombstone bearing my friend's name, along with a picture of him smiling slightly in his military uniform. He's exactly the Adam I saw last time, I've only known him for a short time but the sadness is overwhelming. The soldiers saluted and carried out the military funeral procession as a last respect with great solemnity. Next to Adam's grave, the graves of his other family members were lined up and I couldn't hold back the tears I had been holding back. They were good people, but why did they have to suffer such a tragic fate? I'm leaving this world, and Adam will never return to the military. He's now sett
129. Solace
Even though my vision wasn't completely clear, my body felt like it was moving on its own to beat up the Solace in front of me. I was sure I had exerted all my strength to give him the greatest punch of my lifetime, but all I felt was like punching a very hard wall. Solace was flat-footed, and the look in his eyes clearly showed that he was bored. I felt even more compelled to turn him into a punching bag. I punched again, several times, but to no avail, instead my knuckles turned red and cracked. "Crazy bastard." I cursed as I kept my distance from the creature. "How could you show up without a single guilty look? I know you're not human, but you're even worse than that."It hurt so much when I thought of Adam who had suddenly died at a young age, along with Celine who was alone, and Adellia with her destiny for the kingdom. "You seem to only want to make me a patient of the mental hospital after this. What help is that? It looks like I'm making their lives even more miserable!" I
128. I Wish I Could Run Away
I never took dreams seriously, but this time I really wanted to wake up and escape from everything that had happened. This memory was very vivid because of the pain I was still suffering all over my body after being bounced around by the bomb blast. Particles of dirt were wafting through the air so my vision was limited, but I could faintly hear screams and bodies clad in army uniforms in the distance. It would undoubtedly be fine if I got hit by a bomb, after all, I wouldn't be able to die. However, what bothered me the most was the sergeant's remark that Greenish had been destroyed. That was impossible. How could that be? According to the information I knew, Greenish and other food supply areas had very strict guards and not just anyone could enter there. I even had to go naked to be checked to make sure that I wasn't carrying anything suspicious when I visited the village with Adam. Then, at the same time, my eyes closed because it was so hard to maintain consciousness. I was
