It all began on Tachibana Mayumi's eighteenth birthday... As she was walking down the hotel's grand staircase, wearing an intricately designed red dress whilst a flower wreath adorned her head, she accidentally slipped which caused her to fall and hit her head hard on the floor. Right then and there, oneirically, thousands of disturbing scenes shuffled through her brain like a raging storm. It was all vivid and painfully detailed... as if she's watching a drama series and she's one of the cast. Unfortunately, she was given the role of the main antagonist. Whilst she was on the verge of losing her consciousness, a chilling terror crept over her. A year from now, she's going to die- a fitting end for a villainess such as herself. It's going to be her fault though because her future self will try to murder her half-sister due to hatred and jealousy. In the end, she will die in the hands of her otōsama and fiancé. However, she was given the chance to change her future and avoid her tragic demise.

December 20, 2018. My birthday. The day I should be the happiest. But as I sit at my desk, drowning in gifts and love confessions, the only thing I want is something-or someone-I can never have. Hinata Kashitarou. Smart, beautiful, and kind. The girl everyone admires, the girl who never fails to make my heart race. But no matter how much I love her, she only has eyes for one person-Saito-sensei, our young music teacher. I know I should give up. I know I should move on. But love isn't something you can just turn off. So on Valentine's Day, I take the risk. I confess, even though I already know the answer. "I'm sorry, Sora-kun." Those words shatter me. I was prepared for rejection, but nothing could prepare me for the pain of losing her completely. Or so I thought. Because what if... what if everything I believed was wrong? What if the love I thought was unrequited... was never unrequited at all?

One ordinary morning, Geraldine Dominguez woke up to a life that was no longer hers. Her messy condo had turned into a pastel dream. Her tomboy body had transformed into the kind of beauty she had always mocked. Even her memories, photos, and relationships had changed, as if the world had rewritten her existence overnight. On the other hand, Nathaniel de Guzman woke up to the opposite miracle. The frail, asthmatic boy who had spent his life hiding behind books was suddenly strong, tall, and athletic. His lungs worked perfectly. His life was filled with friends, sports, and confidence he had never known before. But there is one thing that didn't change. Geraldine still remembers bullying Nathaniel. Nathaniel still remembers being her victim. And in this new reality, they are supposed to be best friends. As the two struggle to adjust to bodies and lives that feel stolen, strange clues begin to surface-an encounter with a mysterious old woman, cryptic words about consequences and blessings, and a feeling that something powerful is watching their every move. Was this transformation a gift? A punishment? Or an experiment by forces beyond human understanding? To find the truth, Geraldine and Nathaniel must face the one thing neither of them is prepared for: Each other. Because sometimes, the day everything changes... is only the beginning.

This journal is a collection of my personal reflections, Bible study notes, sermons, prayers, and lessons that God continues to teach me throughout my walk with Christ.

My prayer is that these pages will encourage, strengthen, and remind you of God's unfailing love, grace, and faithfulness.

The firstborn son of the Padishah Emperor is the rightful heir. Adam Atreides, the eldest son of Paul Atreides and his lawful wife, Irulan Corrino, should have been celebrated as the future ruler of the Imperium. Instead, his birth divides the empire. The Great Houses recognize his claim to the Lion Throne, House Corrino sees him as the restoration of a fallen dynasty, the Bene Gesserit covet his extraordinary potential, and the Fremen reject him in favor of Chani and her children. Gifted with a mysterious ability unlike his father's prescience, Adam does not simply glimpse possible futures. He perceives the hidden intentions, fears, ambitions, and betrayals buried within every human heart. As old rivalries deepen and personal tragedies ignite political conflict, the Imperial Household becomes a battlefield where loyalty is tested, love is questioned, and every decision carries consequences that ripple across the Known Universe. In an empire built upon prophecy, power, and bloodlines, the greatest threat may not be the enemies beyond the throne, but the heir destined to inherit it. History remembered Paul Atreides as Muad'Dib. What it will remember Adam Atreides as has yet to be written.
