Description:
For what reason does one wake up every day?
People had always thought the life of ISAAC RUIZ couldn't be more perfect. Everything he wanted, he would get with his money and influence. What anyone didn't know was his real motivation to keep on living -- something that was silly for others, but a salvation for him.
For office employee FLORENCE VILLENA, there was no longer any meaning to his existence. Nothing could fill the void he had been experiencing inside him anymore, and he was convinced the world was better off without him in it.
At twenty-eight years old, LAURENCE VILLEGAS had a lot of reasons to wish to just sleep forever. Since losing his home and family, the universe had rarely been kind to him. And yet, he chose to survive, time and again, if only for the hope of seeing his life get a little better.
On Friday the thirteenth of January 2023, fates started to entangle as Laurence died, Florence killed himself, and Isaac lost his reason to live. Nine months after the incidents, a new dawn fell upon those three lives when a dead man's soul reawakened in someone else's body.
Warnings: deaths, including suicide (no explicit depiction), mental health, other social issues, and 1-2 sexual scenes past chapter 40
Feedback preference: Casual/Reactionary Comments
Average chapter length: 2000-3000 (with occasional outliers)
Reading preferences (likes/dislikes): I'm cool with anything, but prefer to avoid mafia stories and erotica. Can read fanfic as long as I don't need to know the source material to understand the story. I usually lean on mystery and lighthearted romance.
Will read mature content: Yep, but no excessive smut and graphic depiction of SA.
