Laurel Ambers had been running away since she could remember. Abandoned by her parents and no friends to call, she works in an underground business to get through in life.
Fight to survive, that's her motto. She tries to escape death every time, but one night, its scythe finally reaches her. Her soul has opened the gates of the afterlife. With no escape, she knew time was up. She closed her eyes and uttered her last words.
Everything could have ended at that moment, but time intervenes. The clock of life continued to tick and dragged her back a thousand years into the ancient past.
In an era she doesn't belong, she knew a single change would disrupt the truth of her time. She must leave. She must find a way home.
With all the information she gathered about the place and the help of an unlikely ally. It could have been easy. If only she hasn't met a man who never gets tired of expressing his undying love for her.
"To escape the scythe death, but end up chased by a lovesick fool. Is it luck or curse?"

Set Me As A Seal ✓
A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------Concluida
