Escapism Stories

What if the life you always dreamed of was only a step away- but to claim it, you'd have to give up your own? When ordinary people across the modern world begin to wake up in strange new bodies-mages, warriors, queens, rebels, and scholars-they discover a secret: lives can be borrowed. Each night, they cross into worlds that aren't theirs, living destinies they were never meant to hold. For Arjun, a weary student drowning under expectations, it is the intoxicating power of magic. For Maya, a struggling mother, it is the reverence of a royal court. For Kenji, a broken recluse, it is the strength of a legendary knight. For Selene, a brilliant lawyer, it is the desperate trust of rebels in a dying land. And for Dante, haunted by war, it is the gentle peace of a scholar's life. But every borrowed moment has a cost. The more they live in these other worlds, the more their real lives unravel-jobs, families, and identities slipping away. Worse still, their choices ripple across the fabric of realities, binding them together in ways none of them understand. Now, as the fractures between worlds widen, each must face the ultimate question: Which life will they choose to keep... and which will they let die? Isekai: The Borrowed Life is a sweeping, character-driven fantasy of desire, identity, and sacrifice-where every escape comes with a price, and no choice is without consequence.

I used to move through things without really stopping. Days came and went, and I let them. It was easier that way. Nothing asked too much of me, and I didn't ask much back. If something slipped away, I told myself it was fine. Most things are. Somewhere along the way, though, I started noticing how quiet moments linger longer than they should. How certain thoughts don't disappear just because you ignore them. How even small things leave behind a shape when they're gone. I don't think I changed all at once. I'm still much the same. But, it was more like slowing down without meaning to. Letting my eyes rest on things for an extra second. Feeling something soften, just a little, before moving on. And I just wonder, when something small disappears from your days, do you feel it leave?

A boy trapped inside a box since childhood and all he is trying to do is to explore the outside world

Salt, vinegar, everything sinister, a signal, a mad scientist and three marginals. That is all it takes to make villains. In a world shattered from the inside, where everyone seems to be under the control of the signal Tower and escape the reality, Berserk, Brat and Brute try to find their own way, dealing with their fights and their goals. Because a person is whole universe. Tw: childhood traumas, eating disorders, mutilation... (If you want to understand the lore go read The PowerPuff Girls, not really necessary, but can be useful) The characters don't belong to me, but to Craig McCracken neither the cover (IG: Racketballs). The world building is inspired from Little nightmares. I apologize in advance for the mistakes and grammatical errors. I'm not an English speaker.

A rat trying to escape the cult he was born into, running until he's caught. A rat that yearns to be out of his skin, scratching until he bleeds. A rat that doesn't understand his own world.

She wants nothing but to escape the subtle torture inflicted on her by her stepmother; torture that she has been enduring for years. Olivia's routine life, a life from home to school and school to home is about to change when Ethan instinctively kidnaps her, taking her on an unintended misadventure. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reviews: "At first the story didn't come together, you almost lost me in a few of the first chapters. I was wondering where is this going but it took an interesting turn in the middle and then it started to get good. It was different in some instances, than the regular werewolf stories. I enjoyed it and I like the plot twister as well had me there." - @RosaFuoco
