When someone dies, where do they go? Well I sure hope they don't all end up like me. For years I worked as a prison doctor, hoping to finally retire. One small mistake and I am dead and forcefully reincarnated into another world. Did anyone ask me if I wanted to leave Earth? No. What's worse than that? I am stuck with the piece of crap called the Warden system. Cliche. "To live by the sword, and die by the sword" I guess is befitting here... Now I have to find my way back again.

What would you do if you got a second chance at life... but only in your dreams? Yuuma Kisaragi is invisible. At nineteen, he's already a college dropout, a disappointment to his mother, and a ghost in his own life. No friends, no future, no hope—just endless days of watching other people live the life he'll never have. Until he dreams. In that dream, he wakes up in a parallel Japan where everything feels familiar yet impossible. Cherry blossoms bloom out of season, the sky holds mysteries he can't explain, and most importantly—**people can see him.** A mysterious silver bracelet appears on his wrist, pulsing with an energy he doesn't understand. It seems to respond to his emotions, but what does it want? And why does it feel like it's... counting something? --- Enter Airi Minazuki—the girl everyone loves to hate. She's stunning, brilliant, and completely unpredictable. One moment she's laughing like sunshine, the next she's cold as winter rain. Her classmates call her fake, unstable, attention-seeking.

He makes friends who feel like family. He discovers laughter, purpose, and something he never dared hope for. But in a world born from dreams, nothing is ever as simple as it seems. --- As Yuuma builds the life he's always wanted, questions begin to haunt him: Why does this world feel so real when he knows it's not? What happens when the bracelet stops glowing? And why does Airi sometimes look at him like she's seeing a ghost? Some dreams are too beautiful to be just fantasy. Some connections are too deep to be coincidence. And some love stories... transcend reality itself. --- This isn't just another isekai romance. This is about second chances that come with hidden costs. About love that defies explanation. About discovering who you really are in a world that might not exist—and fighting to keep that person when everything falls apart. It's about the magic of human connection, the power of hope, and the question that will haunt you long after you finish reading: If you could live your perfect life in a dream, would you ever want to wake up? --- Join Yuuma as he discovers that the line between dreams and reality isn't as clear as he thought—and that some chances only come once, even if they come twice. ⭐ A story that will make you question everything you know about love, dreams, and the courage it takes to truly live. When reality gives you nothing, dreams give you everything. But what price are you willing to pay to keep them?

When I was young, my older brother used to say: "Life is like a billiard table—a journey full of collisions and calculations." Back then, I didn't quite understand. When I grew up and became a Grade I senior engineer, I thought I had it figured out—that everything could be solved with formulas and science. Including the fear within me: ATSM—a condition that makes my body "numb" and ache whenever I face pressure. It stripped away my ability to hold a cue stick, preventing me from pursuing my passion for billiards. Don't be mistaken—this autobiography isn't about "a billiards journey." This is a story about souls brave enough to abandon safety to rediscover my life's meaning.
