Trigger Warning: This story contains strong emotions, terminal illness, betrayal, and mature themes. Read at your own comfort. Minato thought marriage meant love, trust, and a future together. But just two weeks after his wedding, his world collapsed. Diagnosed with stage V pancreatic cancer, he is given only three months to live. Shocked and terrified, he hides his illness from his husband—determined to protect him from the pain of knowing the truth. But the day Minato returns home from the hospital, he finds his husband in their house… with another man. “Lion… who is he?” “He’s my lover,” his husband replies without guilt. “He’ll be living here from now on.” Broken. Betrayed. Dying. Minato has no tears left. With death slowly approaching and his heart completely destroyed, he makes a final decision: If love ends like this… then I will leave this world without anyone knowing my pain. But fate has other plans—because when he tries to disappear quietly, someone unexpected reaches for him. Even if his heart is broken… will someone still choose to love him before the end? Or will his last date truly be his final goodbye?

Reincarnated As Bait, Evolved To A Deity

Evan Mercer died unable to finish page 212 of the book he was reading. He thought that was the end. Instead, he wakes up as a minnow in a poisoned swamp, and for the first time in his life, he can breathe. It’s a very small second chance. It’s also a very dangerous one. Two hundred years ago, the portals tore open and the world changed overnight. Monsters poured through. Guns, missiles, and bombs barely scratched them. Humanity survived only because a handful of people awakened mythic abilities, and they’ve been fighting ever since. They’ve clawed back 60% of the planet. The other 40% still belongs to the monsters. Evan was born in the worst corner of it. The swamp is a Level 3 danger zone, cut off from every city and hunter guild. The miasma twists everything that lives there. Even the smallest creatures glow. The things in the deep are so much stronger than anything above them that Evan can’t even read their levels. They show up as question marks. It’s a closed world with a cruel ladder, where every rung eats the one below it. But Evan's got a status panel, a unique skill called Absorb, and a stubborn mind that refuses to stop asking questions. He can eat to grow stronger. He can fuse skills, unlock mutations, and push every ability past what it was meant to be. He doesn’t know what he’ll evolve into. The panel only displays: Available forms: ??? He doesn’t care. He wants to find out. Because beyond the swamp is an entire world he’s never seen. Dungeons that swallow cities. Guilds that rank people like weapons. Beings who can erase a city with a single move. And things above them that even those beings are afraid of. Evan is small. Evan is hungry. And Evan is absolutely not going to spend his second life hiding in a log. He’s going to eat his way up the food chain, climb out of the swamp, and see every impossible corner of this magical world. One bite at a time.
