The Trial by Wolvestime

London 1888. The ripper is on the loose. Everyone despairs not knowing who hides behind the persona. Meanwhile four strangers lives intersect at this impossible moment in time. Each one of them carries a secret, the others cannot know. But time is precious and dirty business threatens to destroy their lives. What burdens do they carry? And how will Jack get to them all? Old summary: She loved his paintings. Always beautiful, a fever dream, red dots and black holes. Men on horses riding to the sunset or death as an angel before the Lord. He loved her but he did not understand how to love. He shivered at the thought, broke at the seams. And in the corners where the city lights could not fall no more, there he fell. The other one. He fell into a habit. Fell into blood. Fell into lust. Until he reached nirvana. ▪Finished

When the feud between his and another gang finally ended, my uncle decided to mess it all up by going on a killing spree. As usual, I got caught up in it and died, expecting to see him in hell, but I instead saw the smiling face of a woman with cat ears, proclaiming how beautiful my eyes were... It didn't take long for me to realize I had been reborn into another world, just like the stories my elder sister used to tell me about. The question then was, what would I do? Learn magic, like my second mother? Take on the politics of royalty, like my father? I wasn't sure. That was, at least, until I accidentally selected a class in my new system, which may or may not be sentient. I was granted access to an easy way to get stronger, both physically and magically, and a shop that allowed me to get anything I had ever seen on Earth. That, combined with the problems I heard about through my new father, Ihelped me decide to use this power to help the people of this world as the second Prince of the Eilon kingdom!
