Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multiple protagonist series with numerous points of view (PoV) centres around five college students about to begin their academic careers. Three of those five are boys who were childhood buddies, and the other two are females who they met in college. A side story about "Ms. Editor and Mr. Author," who are writing and editing the main story, is also included in the series. This section contains three storylines: 1) the main ML and FL, 2) the side characters of this section, and 3) Ms. Editor and Mr. Author First story: The female lead, on her first day of college, noticed a group of three boys arguing with college professors, and she thought that they were delinquents. Later, she became friends with those boys and started liking one of them. They are both completely opposite in everything; the only thing that is the same about them is that they are both human beings. But she doesn't know that the boy she likes already has a partner, which is more than a girlfriend but less than a wife. Why? It’s because they have been married for some years, and their father and mother have also been friends since childhood. Before our female lead confesses to him, her own mom requests that she find a stranger (a boy), whom she meets in the garden. That stranger helped her mom make a big decision that is going to change their lives for real. Still, our female lead ignored her mom's request to find that stranger (a boy) and planned to confess the boy she liked from her friend circle. Neglecting everything she confessed to him in the garden, he Second Story: Our second Male lead's (note: He's a side character in this part) college doesn’t start as he thought it would. On his first day of college, he fell in love at first sight when he saw a very beautiful girl coming near his bus stop. He thought college life was going to be fun, but he didn’t know that the author had planned something else for his tale. The girl, whom he thought would be his future partner, left their bus in a private car. He recovered from the tragic first day of college, but not fully. After a few days, his one and only girl friend, on whom he had a crush for many years, directed him to date one of the girls with whom he became friends in college. He accepted that request from his friend but also told her that he would wait for love at first sight, no matter how long it took. Side story: Ms. Editor and Mr. Author Mr. Author is writing the main story, and Ms. Editor is his partner and is helping him in his work. They have been a couple since their college days. But still, they’re not living together. It’s because, according to Mr. Author, it’s very hard to control himself around Ms. Editor in his own apartment. And also, Ms. Editor is a professional editor and earns at least five times more money than Mr. Author, who has only published a 20-page essay until now. Mr. Author gets a great response from everyone who reads that essay, and that’s why he decided to become an author. Mr. Author is an independent author.

There is a scientist conducting experiments on her. Is this hell or purgatory? Waking up in another white room, Kate panics. She's stronger now and easily dents the steel door keeping her in. She manages to escape the facility keeping her, but nothing is right. The world thinks she's dead, but she's clearly alive in a much taller, more muscular body.
