Description
Reader Warning: This story contains themes of suicide, mental health struggles, and grief. It explores dark and emotional experiences, including the aftermath of loss and the challenges of coping with life's pressures. Reader discretion is advised.
He never really lived.
As a child, he was pushed to chase perfection-grades, prestige, the dream of a future that would prove he was worth something. While others went to parties, made friends, and laughed through their youth, he buried himself in books and pressure. By the end of high school, he had nothing but exhaustion and regret.
And when he failed at the finish line, he decided there was nothing left.
So he ended his own life.
But death did not let him rest.
He returned, reborn as a raccoon, bound to a cruel purpose: to save a girl whose despair ran deeper than his own. She was fragile-the kind who fed stray cats while starving herself. He tried to keep her from the same mistake, but when she chose her own goodbye, his world collapsed once more.
Shattered, he searched for villains to blame. But misery was everywhere. In strangers. In her. Even in himself. And when he finally demanded answers from the God of Reincarnation, the God only watched in silence... as if the truth was too simple-and too cruel-to ever be spoken.
A haunting tale of suicide, regret, and rebirth-
and the unsettling mystery of life itself.

Lament for My First Life
They called it an accident. The darkness that devoured her home, the tragedy that took her parents - all wrapped in whispered pity and silent relief. But for the young daughter left behind, it was the beginning of her descent into hell. Adopted by distant relatives who wore kindness like masks, she grew up as little more than a shadow within their house - unloved, unwanted, unseen. Her stepmother's hatred was venomous, her stepsister's laughter cruel. Denied an education, denied affection, she learned to survive on silence and obedience. Then came the Duke - handsome, powerful, the man promised to her stepsister. When his eyes strayed toward the forgotten girl, admiration blooming where disgust should have lived, the family's hatred ignited into something fatal. They killed her quietly, as if snuffing out a candle no one would miss. But death did not take her. She awoke again - in the body of her seven-year-old self, the day after the tragic accident that destroyed her family. Time had folded backward, granting her a cruel gift: memory. This time, she will not weep. This time, she will not kneel. With the knowledge of every betrayal and every grave that waits for her, she will twist fate itself - and turn the game that once destroyed her into her masterpiece.
Not Just The Side Character
'Pointless' That is how the protagonist saw everything. It all started with an accident, but it is pointless to explain it here. His life ends, then it starts again, except it starts in a otome game his sister had bought. And he reincarnates as his sister's favourite character. Unfortunately, he's a side character who is scripted to have an abrupt ending. Determined to live his life he gains a sense of purpose, a feeling he hasn't had in a long time. He's not just any side character, he's the protagonist of this story! Come and watch as he lives his life and perhaps regain some of his lost emotions. ---------- As per usual, I don't own any of the pictures that are used. Note: This is NOT a BL story if you haven't seen the tags.Complete
The Duke Fell for the Villainess
She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game. Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end: starvation, betrayal, poison, and death. Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?Complete![Life Is A Game: YouTube High | Book 1 [A YouTubers X Reader FanFic]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/74644223-256-k946059.jpg)

Life and Death
Disclaimer: This novel involves abuse, sexual abuse and suicide. A destiny I never chose. A life I never wanted. A heart I swore never to give again. Death should have been my release. Instead, I awoke in another world... in another body... in another life. It should have been a second chance. But scars don't fade just because the skin is new. The memories still haunt me, silent shadows that twist my every thought, every fear, every breath. I care for no one. I trust nothing. I wish only for an end... yet something, some cruel, invisible force always pulls me back from the edge. I am a pawn dressed in silk and gold, forced into a game I never agreed to play. But even in a heart frozen by trauma, the warmth of life begins to seep in. Slowly, I begin to feel again. To breathe again. To hope. Then fate strikes once more. Another decision, made without me. Another future, sealed by hands not my own. And I realize... I may have escaped death, but not destiny. In a world of monsters, thrones and betrayal, can a shattered soul carve her own fate or will the past always bind her to a future she never wanted?
Through Another Life, I Loved You
In a world where love transcends life itself, a girl experiences the deepest bond with her girlfriend, sharing sweet moments and innocent laughter. But a single misunderstanding spirals into silence, heartbreak, and tragedy, tearing them apart in a way that feels final. Death, reincarnation, and the cruel twist of fate bring a second chance-yet in a body that cannot claim the same love, the heartache lingers. Through observing her from afar, hidden in plain sight as someone she could never love, the protagonist endures two years of longing, devotion, and unseen sacrifice. Every glance, every gesture is filled with the echo of a love that cannot be spoken aloud, a love that can only exist in shadow. And when the truth finally emerges, it shatters what remains, leaving a haunting realization: some loves are destined to be felt, never fully held. Through another life, through loss, through the cruel hands of fate, the story of a love unbroken yet unreachable unfolds-a love that, even in reincarnation, cannot find its ending.Complete
