Sam didn’t expect to wake up after he jumped.
He definitely didn’t expect to wake up in another world—branded with a curse, three words burned into his flesh:
Sapphire Eyes. 3 Days.
Every failure steals a part of her—her smile, her voice, her name.
Lost in a world of blood and magic, hunted by zealots, haunted by gods, Sam must find her before time runs out…
…or forget she ever existed.
The gods are watching. The church is hunting.
And in a forest full of monsters and men,
The countdown has already begun.
Not every isekai is about becoming a hero. This is the first story I’ve ever written. But in every chapter, there’s a piece of me. It’s not about a hero with powers. It’s about a boy named Sam — thrown into a world that doesn’t care if he survives. A mark he doesn’t understand. A voice that won’t stop whispering. And a sister he’s already lost once. He’s not strong. Not chosen. Not special. But he tries. He lies. He stumbles. And sometimes… he chooses wrong. This isn’t a story about magic and battles — even though you’ll find both. It’s about people. About grief, fear, hope, and how far we can fall — or rise — depending on who we hold on to. It’s slow-burn. The romance won’t come easy. There’s no harem. No shortcuts. Just two broken people trying to survive something bigger than both of them. If this world touches you — even a little — leave a comment. I read every one. Thank you for giving it a chance. The monsters in this story wear human skin. And sometimes, so does Sam.
