A new Council. Seven deadly trials. One chance at becoming a god. The Council of Gods are the protectors of the galaxy, bringing peace and prosperity to the planets. As the times change, a new council will step up to take their place on the thrones of Eden. And now, a new changeover has begun. Eleven gods have proven themselves over the centuries and now, one more is left to complete the Council. Gemini isn't the first to compete for the last spot on the Council, but may she be the last? The stakes are high as the looming threat of death hangs over the failure of any of the trails. With her parents stepping down from the old council and her sister on the new one, the expectations are raised, but Gemini isn't afraid. She will do whatever it takes to achieve what she had always dreamed of - to be on the Council and work with the other gods to bring about a better Eden that the world had envisioned, something that the previous Council had promised, but always failed to do. Will she make her family and country proud, or will she die trying, like the many before her? Can she prove herself worthy to become a god? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ♡.

[10x times featured] Countless people have suffered tragedy simply for a protagonist to shine and rise as heroes, but are they really heroes if they ruin everyone else's stories for the sake of their own? Ever since Empress Calypso Berenice nearly drowned in a lake, she has been recalling some very strange memories that are not her own. Memories that belong to another life, another time---where she lived as Park Hanbyeol, a thirty-year-old music producer from modern-day South Korea. If that isn't bizarre enough, the proud and dignified empress also discovers that the world she now lives in is nothing but a tragic fiction novel Park Hanbyeol once read and hated with a passion. Calypso, along with all the main characters from the original story appears to have traveled back in time with the memories of the first timeline, but she isn't even one of the main characters---she's merely an unimportant extra; the male lead's wife whom the villain executed without a second thought. Her tragic death wasn't even mentioned in the story, so why on earth has she regressed as well? *** Featured in: @WattpadDarkFantasy @WattpadTimeTravel @WattpadAlternateUniverse @anime @WattpadAsianFantasy @StoriesUndiscovered @WattpadHistoricalRomance @Fantasy @lowfantasy @HistoricalFiction *** WARNING: This story is mature due to the heavy topic such as mental health, trauma, etc, so please read with caution.
