A Doorway to Deceit
In a world where life and death are mere stops on a cosmic journey, Luca finds himself reincarnated into a new reality—one that is both familiar and eerily strange. After living in this mysterious new world for a month, he stumbles upon a seemingly insignificant object, unaware that it holds the key to unraveling the hidden threads of time and space. This discovery pulls him into the enigmatic Time & Space Bureau, an ancient organization that governs the delicate balance between dimensions.
Chosen for "Quick Transfer," Luca is neither a high-ranking official nor a lowly worker but someone whose talents are only called upon in emergencies—when the very fabric of existence is at stake. As he navigates his place within the Bureau, he learns that the object he found is more than a mere trinket—it is a portal, a secret way to identify the true identity and role of individuals across time.
With each mission, Luca must confront the ghosts of his past lives, while coming to grips with the purpose of his new existence. In a world where bureaucratic red tape can mean the difference between life and death, Luca soon realizes that the stakes are far higher than he imagined.
As he earns BP (Bureau Points), the currency of this dimension, he must use them wisely—not just to purchase mundane items but to unlock the answers to the deepest mysteries of his soul.

Now let's begin with the story!😆
Luca(MC)
Sigh.... when will I be able to become successful and rich😖😖
Currently Luca is in his rental apartment looking through the window towards the bustling city. His lease is going to expire, soon so he had been searching for a new place to live from the last 5 days.
Luca(MC)
It was already very hard to pay the rent for this apartment. But now that the landlord has increased the renting price.. I don't have a choice but to search some other apartment where the price is cheap.
Luca(MC)
What should I do? *frustrated*😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Just then the door bell rings and Luca wakes up from his thoughts.
Asaph
*knocking softly, voice smooth* Luca? It's me Asaph. Can you open the door?I just want to talk.
Luca(MC)
*tense, heart racing* Talk about what? Last time we talked, you almost ruined my life!
Asaph
Lucaaa.. I know you are in there.. Don't be scared okay? This time I have come to apologize to you.. give me a chance and open the door okay?
Luca(MC)
*breathes a sigh of relief*
Asaph
(voice dripping with false sincerity) I know... I know I hurt you. But you have to understand, I'm not here to cause any more pain. I just want to apologize.
Luca(MC)
(eyeing the door suspiciously) An apology? What makes you think I'd want to hear you out?
Asaph
*smirking slightly, keeping his tone calm* Because I've had time to reflect 😔. You know I've always cared about you, right? I just want to clear the air.
Luca(MC)
*feeling a mix of anger and fear* Care? The last time you said that, you manipulated me into trusting you!!😡
Asaph
*voice turning desperate but with a hint of amusement* 😏 Come on, Luca! I've changed. Can't you see that? Let me in, and I'll show you. Just a little peak.
Luca(MC)
*growing agitated*😠 I don't believe you! You're just playing mind games again.
Asaph
*chuckling softly*😌 Mind games? You hurt me. I just want a chance... A chance for making things right..
Luca(MC)
* 😥 nervous* How do I know you won't just hurt me again?
Asaph
*grinning wider 😈, voice low and enticing* Because this time, I have something special to share. A surprise, just for you. Don't you want to know what it is?
Luca(MC)
*swallowing hard* What kind of surprise?😮
Asaph
*leaning closer to the door, his voice dropping to a whisper* A way to finally free you from the past. But you have to trust me, just for a moment. Open the door, and I'll reveal everything.😈
Luca(MC)
*feeling conflicted, the anxiety growing* I don't know.... 😕
Asaph
*voice dripping with charm ☺️* Just a Crack, Luca. Just a little trust. You'll see... this is the closure you have been searching for.
Luca(MC)
*hesitates, feeling a mix of dread and curiousity* If I sense anything off😢......
Asaph
*interrupting, a wicked gleam in his eyes* You won. I promise. Just open it, and I'll take care of the rest.
(As Luca stands at the door, he feels the weight of Asaph's words, torn between his past trauma and the allure of understanding of what Asaph has to say)
