A Second Breath

Wholesomechungus
Elias Adams had long given up on life. Once a brilliant engineer, he drowned his days in routine and his nights in smoke, each cigarette dragging him closer to the inevitable. Lung cancer was already gnawing at his body, and he welcomed the end with open arms. But fate had other plans. A tragic explosion in his lab should have been the final page of his story. Instead, he awakens to warmth—to the gentle touch of his mother, her voice calling his name. But it’s not a dream. He’s been reborn. Back in his own past, as a baby. At first, he resents this cruel twist of fate. He never wanted a second chance. He never wanted to live again. But as time passes, the pain of his former regrets weighs heavier than his reluctance to exist. Slowly, hesitantly, he starts to change things—mending his broken relationships, forging friendships he never had, and daring to chase the dream he once abandoned: becoming a football player. With every step forward, Elias reshapes his destiny, transforming from a man who once craved death into someone who finally learns to live. But the shadows of his past still linger—will he be able to outrun them, or will history repeat itself once more? A story of redemption, love, and the power of second chances, "A Second Breath" asks: If you were given another life, would you finally choose to live?

His old life was gone, replaced by a high-tech society where "Talent" and "Mana" dictated one's right to live.

But Reynold didn't want money; he wanterd her. Mocked for Awakening the "trash-tier" [F-Rank] talent, Aegon is seen as nothing more than a burden to others, but they didn't know that a cold mechanical chime had already rewritten his destiny.

While they fear monsters lurking in the dark, Aegon warps them into oblivion. Saving his relative from Reynold's scheme is only the beginning. The Abyss is not a dungeon, but a gateway to infinite worlds, mysterious organization, ancient races, and even the secret of the 100X System itself.

However, even after that, he will stay to show every race of the universe; humans, elves, archons, saints, angels and even gods, that the universe itself has a new master. "The abyss has no exist? Fool. I am the exit.” - Aegon Zoldyck

Transmigrated: Married to a Cold Mage, So I Built My Own Kingdom

"Honesty and politics don’t belong in the same sentence," they say. Celine Yue, a kind-hearted social worker, stepped into politics to help more people. But what she didn’t know… was that her own party would be the one to end her life. After her death, she wakes up in another world as Cyrina Vaeloria, the Elf Princess—right on the day of her arranged marriage to Lucian Aetherion, the cold, mysterious Human Prince and strongest mage alive. A political union to keep two powerful races from tearing each other apart. But this so-called alliance is just a mask. She despises the way other races are trampled beneath noble boots. Cyrina refuses to be a pretty puppet. She dreams of building a new kingdom—where races aren’t divided by power, bloodlines, or magic. To do that, she’ll need power of her own. And lucky her... she just married the most dangerous man in existence. With sharp wit and stubborn grace, Cyrina slowly bends her cold husband to her will— She toys with the ruthless Archmage, tames the untamable… and drags him into a revolution wrapped in royal silk. After all, if you marry the strongest mage alive… you might as well make him yours. ***** excerpt~ Lucian’s voice is like a blade, low and sharp. “Do you even understand what you said in the royal assembly?” Cyrina lifts her chin, unbothered. “I understand perfectly. I said I’ll build a new kingdom—where every race can live together.” His eyes darken. “You don’t know what you’ve sparked. That speech—” he steps closer, “—could ignite a war. You’re underground now, Cyrina. Buried beneath politics you don’t even see coming.” She spins on her heel and waves dismissively. “Ugh. Kaelen Blackthorn, your master is giving me a migraine. Get me out of this castle before I set it on fire.” Kaelen gives a slow, exaggerated bow. “As you wish, my lady.” He takes her hand like the perfect gentleman and leads her toward the door— But Lucian’s voice booms behind them. “Kaelen. Don’t forget who your master is.” Kaelen pauses. Glances back. “I remember, my lord. But as per your standing order… I obey only my lady’s command.” A smirk tugs at his mouth. “Even if it means going against you.” **** Per Golden Ticket = 5 extra chapters
