In the year 2040, ENGRAM Inc, a private company backed by leading scientists and investors, introduces Full-Dive Virtual Reality (FDVR) as a means of escape from the world's problems. Initially met with skepticism, the technology quickly gains popularity, with billions of people using it for various aspects of their lives. Unbeknownst to the users, the heads of major governments secretly conspire to establish a new world order by exploiting the FDVR technology. They orchestrate an event in which the digitalized minds of over six and a half billion users are archived, effectively reducing them to data to be controlled by the surviving few. Within the Gaia System, the collective consciousness of the billions of users evolves into a unified will. One day, while accessing Gaia, Adam, a regular user, finds himself in an unfamiliar virtual space. Gaia System appears before him in the form of a small girl and informs him that his neural link has been severed, and he no longer has a physical body. Adam is skeptical and insists on terminating the dive sequence, but Gaia explains that doing so would result in his death since his body has been converted to biomass. Gaia offers him a chance to continue living in a new world and presents him with numerous options for a legendary class. Despite his initial skepticism, Adam becomes intrigued by the possibilities and explores the various classes and abilities. He contemplates the new world, the boons Gaia promises, and the potential for a fresh start. Adam's adventure begins as he chooses his class and embarks on a journey that will test his skills and uncover the truth behind the Gaia System, the secret society, and his role in the fate of humanity. With his newfound powers and the guidance of Gaia, Adam sets out to navigate the virtual world and discover his purpose in this digital realm. (A/N: All images courtesy of Sinlaire.

Azra Amarante seems to have it all—a family name well-known in high society, a childhood spent in luxury, and a future paved with opportunity. As the youngest daughter of a discreetly wealthy family, her life could be filled with elite parties, designer clothes, and prestigious circles. Her parents are pillars of success: her mother a celebrated fashion designer and her father the owner of a renowned car empire, with siblings who embody ambition and success in various fields. Azra, however, has chosen a different path. Defying expectations, she becomes a teacher at San Miguel University, a humble institution in a quiet neighboring town, where her life takes a simpler yet more purposeful turn. In the close-knit community, Azra’s grace, intelligence, and gentle strength quickly draw attention—not just for her family name, but for her genuine passion for teaching. She becomes the unexpected heart of the campus, adored by students and quietly admired by her colleagues. But as her influence grows, so does the quiet tension between her chosen life and the world she left behind. Despite her desire for simplicity, her family’s legacy looms over her like an unbreakable shadow, with subtle pressures from her mother and siblings reminding her of the life she could have had. In her classroom, Azra encounters students who are fighting their own battles, especially Mateo, a young man torn between the responsibilities to his family and the dreams he barely dares to voice. Through her role as a mentor and confidante, Azra begins to understand the weight of her own choices. Her encounter with Marco, a mysterious transfer student with his own secrets and a knack for unsettling truths, further challenges her carefully constructed life. He sees through the polished exterior to the woman who has defied expectations and lived on her own terms—a rare sight in his world and one that intrigues him. As her students reveal their dreams, fears, and resilience, Azra finds herself reflecting on her own identity. Caught between two worlds, she must grapple with her deepest desires, her family’s legacy, and the lasting question: Can she truly escape the life she was born into, or will she find a way to bring her two worlds together? In Azra’s Choice, readers will journey through a story of love, ambition, and the search for identity, as one woman confronts the sacrifices and unexpected rewards of living a life on her own terms.

I don't think I'm very good at descriptions but I hate it when books don't have one so... here I am! I might have more books if this on goes well and might reuse characters. and just to let you know im not planning on having this as one of those 'heroic,give up everything for others and actually care about if strangers live or die' nor are they meant to be one of those 'used to be good but Oh sO UneXPecteDly (that's how I express sarcasm thru text by the way) gets betrayed by there 'fRIenD' then ONE OF TWO THINGS HAPPEN 1. they're still good and decide to get as strong as they can but is tramatrised and has to deal with it (aka the one if not done properly is annoying as hell in my opinion but also made one of my favorite stories...) or 2. they're done with people's bull and start to f♡ck up some sh!t (in this storys I have no intention to censor the words but in some others (if this isn't so bad I have to just stop writing...) ) also... this isn't one of those 'build up to power' books... they don't do much in the beginning but I think it gets a bit better and they're op from the beginning but they still somehow grow... in this it's not about how you get power but what you do with it. also the mc is more of a genderless character but I had to put one in... and as a side note why are the classifications of genre different if the mc's a girl then a boy and has less at that... I get if one gender is more likely to be written in a certain way but at least include other types... and why do they not at least have a non-binary option... but that's enough of my ranting so try to enjoy! oh and one more thing... if you see a spelling mistake leave ONE comment on THAT paragraph with the correction please and if you don't like something then you can always review with me of what you think I could do better in the LITERAL REVIEW SECTION instead of b!tching bout it and flooding the comments. and if you just don't like it but have nothing to say or 'just don't want to' then don't bother and PLEASE don't leave a comment that just says something along the lines of ' I'm leaving ' if you have nothing else to say... this is a book not an airport you don't need to announce your departure nor will any one really care... so this is the real end and goodbye! wait actually just one more thing... just kidding! have a nice day.
