Rivalry

In this captivating tale set in Japan, we follow Akihiko, a 47-year-old accomplished astronomer and physicist, who finds himself thrust back into the past after a tragic accident alters the course of his life. Transported to his university days, he is given a second chance to confront his long-buried regrets and reclaim the love he lost to the rivalry that once defined him.

As Akihiko navigates the complexities of youth, he must rekindle his relationship with Sayuri, a brilliant and beautiful physics student who was once his fierce competitor. Unbeknownst to her, Akihiko has carried feelings for her long before he was willing to admit it, and he is determined to change the narrative of their intertwined fates.

However, the time loop also introduces Kenji, Akihiko's former friend whose presence complicates the dynamics of their relationship. Caught in a love triangle that spans generations, Akihiko wrestles with the burden of his past decisions, striving to make amends while rekindling the flames of romance and friendship.

As he seeks to rewrite his story, Akihiko must confront his youthful insecurities, explore the true nature of love and rivalry, and ultimately determine if redemption is truly within his reach. With rich character development and themes of regret, forgiveness, and the complexity of relationships, "Rivalry" invites readers on an emotional journey through time, where every choice shapes the future.

When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.
