A LIFE LIKE CINDERELLA

Zeynepheart
He promised he’d come back for me. That was years ago. Since the day my mother and brother walked out of my life, I’ve been stuck—trapped in a house that doesn’t feel like home, with people who treat me like I don’t matter. I clean. I stay quiet. I wait. They say I should move on. But how do you move on from the only family you’ve ever loved? As the years pass, I begin to question everything—why they left, why they haven’t returned, and whether hope is enough to hold on to. This isn’t a fairy tale. There’s no glass slipper, no fairy godmother. Just a girl who refuses to give up on the people who promised they’d come back. But what happens if they never do?

Lost between Space and Time

Ethan Carter, a man drowning in debt, is given an ultimatum by his ruthless loanshark—pay up or disappear. When he’s pushed off a cliff, he expects death. Instead, he awakens in a strange world with two suns in the sky. Stranded and alone, he stumbles across a village barely surviving under the cruel rule of Lord Varkos. Taken in by a cautious young woman named Lyra, Ethan struggles to understand their language and their plight. That night, he encounters a mysterious figure calling itself the God of Creation, who grants him the power to understand all languages—a gift for a traveler. As Ethan learns about Varkos’s oppressive reign, he feels powerless to help. But when a hunting trip turns deadly, he unknowingly activates an ability that allows him to travel between worlds. He wakes up back on Earth, shaken but determined to return. Armed with supplies and weapons, he thinks of Avalon—and suddenly, he’s back. Ethan’s return changes everything. He saves Lyra from certain death and slowly earns the villagers’ trust. But when Varkos’s soldiers arrive to collect taxes, taking the last of their food, Ethan can’t stand by. His act of defiance marks the beginning of something greater—a fight for freedom. As he trains the villagers for rebellion, the God of Creation warns him: “Changing fate comes at a price.” But Ethan has already made his choice. He won’t let Avalon suffer the way he did. This is the story of a man who fell into another world—only to rise as its hope.
