    "You are the next in line to entertain me, fortunate mortal. Do try your best, and give me your greatest dance. A dance worth watching." All it takes is the blink of an eye for Y/N L/N to disappear from the modern world we all know and (don't) love. He finds himself in a fantasy world of everyone's dreams, and instantly gets to work on making a suitable life for himself. However, everything goes wrong when, at the end of the day, he's strangely sent back in time, and given worrying instructions. "The arrival of danger within an alleyway causes a call. The loot house receives he who is called once negotiations become violent. Two out of three lives- do try to prevent that number from reaching zero, otherwise I fear you might find yourself regretting it deeply." Now thrown into a confusing and dangerous situation, Y/N must use his cunningness to somehow prevent a certain person from dying too many times, lest he suffers the dire consequences... I don't own Re:Zero or any of the characters, credit goes to the original creators. Special thank you to GhostIXVI for making the book cover for me (and sorta promoting me to a certain voice actor for Re:Zero, this guy is a mad man), you're the goat.

    Deborah sought freedom through music; Markus sought to possess her because of it. A young violin prodigy was abandoned and trapped within the confines of a popular brothel named The Flower's Garden. With a burst of courage, she and two others planned their escape. Yet their defiance was met with death and blood. But Daniel Wellinger, a respected apothecary, found one of the girls alive and took her home. He nursed her back to health and gave her a new life, a new name - Deborah. Despite the racial prejudices in the country of Briersberg, Deborah grew like a flower under Daniel's protective care. Her new goal is to be a professional musician, but she must fight to achieve this in a world that is set against her. Her music tickled the ears of Duke Markus Beaufort, a sickly noble haunted by inner demons. Her songs soothed his mind and brought color to his otherwise dull existence. Yet, what began as fascination soon morphed into a dark obsession. During an outing, Deborah captures the attention of Jonah Watson, the son of a wealthy doctor. He shows her a tender love of which she had never experienced. But will she accept this love or would the abuse she suffered make her push him away? And will their budding connection survive in a society bound by class and prejudice? From the shadows, Markus watches, unwilling to let her go. Deborah had once saved his life, and now, in his mind, she belonged to him. He has one goal: "I must destroy her if I'm to have her." Torn between a man who'd do anything for her and a man who'd do anything to get her, Deborah must fight for the career, freedom, and love she truly deserves. But after surviving the darkness once before, can she face it again without losing herself?
