What does it mean to write a story? 
What does it mean to hold a dream? 
What does it mean to run from the past? What does it mean to run off the path?

You may be confused why I ask those questions but pause for a moment and think of the answer. 

You see the correlation? 

It is all a form of hope. The hope of changing your regrets, the hope of a new world, the hope of a dream. 

Isn’t that what it mean to be an author?

So, it's been three years.

Yep. Three years literally passed away.

For these three years the situation with me and Muyun has almost reversed. Previously it was always me who was doing stuff, now it's Muyun doing all the stuff. He's pretty busy with destroying the world every day and so on and so forth, and then the plot just chugged along. I don't want to comment on it in any case, but Muyun seemed to be very happy. He hugs his mirror talking to me every day, and the only thing I could only do is have conversations with him.

Zhu Jue did always try to look for me, but he can only find Muyun. The whole plot has basically turned into a Naruto-like 'you chase me I chase you away, you come back I don't come back' plot. I, who can do nothing right now, can only live decadently like this for the whole time.

So now, after three years have gone by, we're finally at the finale.

The finale I've been waiting for.

Zhu Jue, who's finally standing before me again after three years' time, has grown much taller. Even taller than me. He just looked at me and said, "Mufeng?"

'I' shook my head and said, "Muyun."

Zhu Jue looks dejected, saying, "when will you give him back to me?"

"He's not yours."

"In the end he will be."

Muyun looks at him as he says, "did you know that I've always been with him since Mufeng was young, so young? Mufeng had no other friends back then, and he was always playing alone by himself. When no one would talk to him he would talk with the mirror. I was always with him back then. For the longest time Mufeng has been lonely. Since you arrived, however, I'm no longer the only important person to him, when it should remain the case. When it should have remained the case forever."

Zhu Jue does not speak.

"This is the last chance. The protagonist's death is only possible at the finale." Muyun says, as if murmuring to himself, "the author has not yet decided what end awaits this world. This means that it's fine for me to kill you."

"What are you talking about?"

"Huh? Don't you know what kind of world this is?"

"What do you mean?" Zhu Jue shows a confused expression.

"What. So you didn't know…" Muyun takes a deep breath, "then I'll tell you. This is the world inside a novel."

… How was he able to say it out loud like that; is it because the finale is approaching?

Zhu Jue also shows a shocked expression.

"Everyone in this world is suffering because of you. Everyone has to pretend to be someone they are not, and do things they don't want to." Muyun seems to have become infuriated as he continues, "you mean to tell me you know nothing about this?!"

Zhu Jue has an expression that says he doesn't know what to say.

"I don't know… Nobody told me…"

Muyun shows a sarcastic expression, "since you came here from the world on that side, this world has taken a turn for the worse!"

"What do you mean the world on that side?" Zhu Jue looks at Muyun, "I've always been living on this side of the world… Maybe there has been some soul of unknown origin that has tried to squeeze me away, but he did not succeed. Nobody told me anything about the world."

Muyun and I suddenly understand the biggest thing that has been off about the whole plot. Perhaps the protagonist that should have arrived has not occupied the body as the plot said it will. Right now it is probably the kid who is supposed to have died a long time ago living inside the body. It's probably because he will have died so early according to the plot that people around him never talked to him about anything relating to the plot (TL's extra explanation: And given he was supposed to be an extra who does not appear in the plot at all, at best he might have only a scant few amount of plot guidance in his head. Since he was a young child, he might not have realised this was a 'plot' as no one talked to him about it). If we think about it this way everything makes sense.

Though clearly Muyun is not interested in pursuing the matter further. He raises his sword.

"Then it will end now. As long as you're dead, all the plot points will be over," Muyun points it at him, saying, "if you're dead, everything will be over. Nobody will have to pretend to be who they are not and do things they do not want to. So…"

He smiles at Zhu Jue, "so please go and die."

The last fight between the protagonist and the boss is officially commencing.

Living up to it being the last fight, it is certainly shaking both the Heavens and Hell, making all the mountains and hills quaver, darkening the skies and the lands, making spirits cry in terror and deities wail in exasperation. The author described the fight in about 4000 words. Since this was supposed to be a harem novel, I won't describe it in that amount of detail. All you need to know is that the fight lasted really long, until the sun has moved all the way across the sky, until even the sun and the moon has lost their lustre, and the skies and the lands are all shrouded in darkness. In the end, the protagonist… is finally smacked onto the ground.

Zhu Jue is lying on the ground, completely soaked in blood. Normally it would have been time for the monologue.

While I want to continue dissing like that, but I don't want to say anything more. Certainly, I did say I would never hurt Zhu Jue. Now while Muyun is the one doing that, it's basically no different than me doing it. While we might say Muyun Muyun and so on, he is essentially me. Having done something like this, I'm pretty sorry towards him.

Because Zhu Jue is very important to me.

Is it because he's the protagonist?

No, it's because he's Zhu Jue.

He is Zhu Jue.

That's why he is an important person.

And so what?

So this will be my last appearance.

The moment Muyun raised his sword is my last chance. I use all my remaining effort to suppress Muyun, which would be temporary. In the final plot, I wanted to protect Zhu Jue, as I'm a side character and this is the meaning of my existence. Of course, I will also have decided to do so myself. I look Zhu Jue in the eye, "kill me."

Zhu Jue, whose face is all bloodied, looked up at me in surprise, "shixiong?"

"Quickly!"

Zhu Jue pauses before shaking his head forcefully.

"Kill me, so the story can meet its end."

"No, I don't want to kill you…"

Yet I can feel that I'm almost unable to suppress Muyun anymore. He screams in my consciousness, "Mufeng, have you gone mad?! Is he more important than me?!"

I did consider the question carefully.

I don't know why myself either. Perhaps, the male deuteragonist and the protagonist have been true lovers since the very beginning?

Then I grab onto the hand of Zhu Jue which is holding the sword, and plunge it into my heart.

It hurts, but I still give my best smile to Zhu Jue.
___________

Then this character, Xuanyuan Mufeng, I, met my end.

The novel has ended. Everyone's final state has been decided, and I have met my own end. It's just that I'm no longer present in the final page of this novel. The world does not disappear. After the plot's end, 77 and 38 went on to get married. They were there during the fight, the typical 'keep going, protagonist, we'd be here blocking the minor boss for you' part. Some plot unrelated to me also happened. Second young master Hua closed down his brothel, but still kept his taverns and other business open, and also started a new cosmetics shop. My master continued his tour of the world, god knows where he went. Qiu Yu has been married off, not to some prominent family, but to someone who is very good to her. By the way, my older brother is continuing his romantic pursuit of second young master Hua. Of course, he hasn't succeeded yet, getting beaten to a pulp every day. The story goes on like that.

And then, I learned about my misunderstanding as well. This was not a harem novel, and is a BL novel. If I knew that from the start, I probably wouldn't have done so many plot points so poorly.

Thank you for having read this story up to this point. It's my honour to have had readers like you. Perhaps I didn't tell the story very well, but this is basically how our world is.

In our world, everyone has found their happy ending.

Mm? Where has Zhu Jue gone in the end, you say?

That… I'm not so sure. After the plot's finale, nobody would care where the protagonist goes, no?

Right. Thank you for having read this book, having read this story.

This is really the end.
___________

Is it the end?

I open my eyes.

I sit back up, then take a good look around me.

This is my room?

Why am I here?

Then I see someone sitting on the floor besides the bed, his arms and head lying on the bed. Seemingly having noticed my movement, he is shocked awake himself. He raises his head to look at me, saying, "you're awake?"

I'm suddenly reminded of the time many years ago when I picked this guy up, the bear of the child stomping on me right after waking up, but nothing of the sort happened when I wake up this time. Bathing in the sunlight, Zhu Jue smiles at me, saying, "welcome back."

I wanted to ask about a lot of things, such as why I'm still alive, such as what happened… such as… Yet I can't say anything. I can only look at Zhu Jue with a dumb expression. He stands up, hugging me, saying, "I've finally found you."

He then says, "this is the world beyond the novel. I exchanged for you using my protagonist halo as the price."

I can barely put a smile up at Zhu Jue, saying, "it's possible to do something like that?"

"Why not?" He makes it sound like the natural thing to do.

I don't manage to say anything more. For some reason, though, my tears start flowing just like that.

From now on, I can start doing what I want to do, because I'm no longer a character in the novel. Because this is no longer a story framed within a book.

You don't really have to say anything at times like this, and just smiling is fine, right?

I hug Zhu Jue, and tell him, "I'm home."

-[END]-
___________

The young lady types 'END' at the end of her text file, then stretches herself as she stands up. Her best friend next to her looks her way, saying, "finished?"

"Mm. Finished."

"Was this alright?"

The young lady says, "was it not alright?"

"You're the author, so it's up to you, of course."

"Telling them that their final good ending is also an ending written inside a book, and they'll end up living inside the book forever is too cruel, isn't it?"

"True."

"Maybe we're also people being described in a book."

"Who can tell, right?"

-[TRUE END]-



In the world of a novel, each character has laws guiding how each character lives. They know that they’re characters in a novel, and their personalities are not always in line with their character setting.

This is a story of the male deuteragonist in such a world.

The second male lead was loved by many fans as he had a more light atmosphere and wasn't scared to express his emotions. No matter what, he would blindly protect the female lead and ensure her happiness. At the end of the book, he was still alone and attended Xiao Ling and Li Wei's marriage while wishing them well. 

Personally, Zhi Ruo didn't really like him as he was very ruthless when he was handling things and couldn't move on from the female lead. Whenever she was unhappy because of her toxic relationship, he would be there to coax and help her, never moving past this point and constantly getting his feelings trampled on. 

Zhi Ruo felt like he had to no backbone and that he consistently lowered himself just to receive nothing in return; she personally didn't like this type of person.

Zhi Ruo snapped back to reality and coldly looked at the assistant, " What does he want? "

" Young Master wishes to personally apologize and thank you for the event that happened previously. "the man didn't mind her cold attitude and politely answered. 

" I do not need it. I was responsible for my choices and I don't need anyone to react accordingly to my independent actions. " Zhi Ruo calmly stated.

" Very well, I shall inform him of your wish. " the assistant nodded and added, " At least, please accept his card. If ever you encounter an unfortunate event during your stay in the United States, he will be able to help you. " 

Zhi Ruo took the card and answered, " Thank you. If there is nothing else, we will get going. " 

" Yes, sorry to bother you once more, have a nice day Miss, Zhi. " the man bowed and promptly left.

Zhi Ruo finally relaxed. She knew that whenever she interacted with the main characters of the story, the plot halo would somehow affect her. The old Zhi Ruo was also attacked more than once by this second male lead in the story and the current Zhi Ruo wanted nothing to do with him. 

Hopefully, she cut off most of her relationships with the main characters, except Wang Yong. However, in the book, Wang Yong was a lofty being that did not meddle with her ' insignificant 'downfall; he probably didn't even know.

Suddenly, Zhi Ruo came to a certain realization and her brain short-circuited from the impact of the information, she lightly staggered and her eyes widened.

" What's wrong? " Wang Yong asked worriedly after seeing her complexion whiten. 

" I'm sorry, I need to go to the toilet real quick. " Zhi Ruo answered rapidly and gave him the bouquet before promptly walking to the female bathroom.

Wang Yong wanted to follow her but he couldn't follow her into the toilet and reluctantly stayed outside, feeling very concerned. 

Zhi Ruo locked herself in a stall and anxiously fidgeted, ' Why the hell am I getting involved with so many characters of the novel?! '

' This doesn't make any sense. Everything that happened since I have transmigrated doesn't concord to the book. I shouldn't have met Li Wei's parents at the restaurant and he shouldn't have gone to my house so many times. The book clearly stated that their relationship was non-existent. Moreover, I met with the female lead already twice when I shouldn't have met her till after she made her debut with the famous movie of ' Orange Summer ' that only comes out in 4 months... I also shouldn't have met the second male lead until he goes back to China to meet the female lead. Everything is wrong! ' Zhi Ruo's brain started overloading from all the incomprehension she discovered.

' And more importantly...she should have never ever met with the big boss Wang Yong... ' Zhi Ruo felt panic envelop her and she felt her head blanking out.

' What the hell does this all mean?! It's like everything is making me participate in the plot... ' Zhi Ruo thought fearfully. 

' Isn't this very bad?! ' Zhi Ruo yelled in her mind. 

' The more I implicate myself with the plot, the more trouble it will attract me and that's not good!!!  ' Zhi Ruo was filled with fear and confusion, ' What the hell is happening?! ' 

' I thought it was going to be easy to not get involved with the story but what do I do when the plot forces me to get involved?! ' Zhi Ruo held her forehead. 

' More importantly, I am already so involved with one of the important characters of the book! I am even in a relationship with him! '

' F*ck, it's true I am the villainess and I am also an important character but why is nothing going the way it's supposed to?! ' 

' OK, no! Let's stop overreacting for a second! " Zhi Ruo calmed herself down and tried to think logically.

' Since the beginning of my transmigration, I have tried very hard to distance myself from the story but that only led to more meetings with the leads. According to this pattern, the more I push away the plot, the more it tries to pull me in? Doesn't that mean that since the beginning, this world was just toying with me?! ' 

Wedding planner and ethical hacker, Zhi Ruo dies but gets a second chance. She asked to have a pretty, healthy and rich body who never gets fat no matter how much she eats, who has a nice and warm family and so on...

" And finally who has a peaceful life! Nothing much! " Zhi Ruo smiled to God.

God:...Sure...( Yeah, that's not going to happen...)

Well, it actually happened, kinda...

She did get a pretty, healthy and rich body who doesn't get fat, a nice family and... but she needs to work...and she is the villain of the frustrating romance novel she just read...

And what happened to her peaceful life? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ 

Sigh...Let's just seen how it goes...

Oh! And she received a nice big teddy bear who she always like to cuddle with! 

He is actually human but whatever, he is her exclusive teddy bear!

This novel idea is based on the series: Terror-Infinity. 
Differences include: Anime worlds instead of Movies. It won't be based on Horror concepts but battle anime. There will be a definite class system for missions instead of some hidden value. Abilities must be learned (Excluding the beginning). Expect to return to the fiction in the future. Other than the main character (maybe), do not expect any character to survive. Lastly, characters will start out with amnesia.
To help out with any questions for why this story is set this way, here's a little Q&A summary.
Question: [Why Anime worlds instead of Movies?]
Answer: [Anime is a realm of imagination. What is possible in one world can also be possible in another with little explanation. That and I am more familiar with anime.]
Question: [Why the focus on battle instead of horror?]
Answer: [When reading, people will focus on what has their attention. Be it social situations, romance, or fighting, they usually resolve around conflict to showcase the characters involved. A character's actions and reasoning are what build up a conflict and elevate the story. Or so is my interpretation.]
Question: [Why include a class system for missions?]
Answer: [In Terror-Infinity and other such mission-based stories, it seemed like there was no reason to enter a specific world after another. This can result in some easy mission arcs before a difficult mission arc. A sudden change does not always go well with the readers so there is a need to clarify the difficulty and plot progression. This being the reason for implementing the class system.]
Question: [What do you mean by characters needing to learn abilities? Why would the beginning be different?]
Answer: [Most mission-based stories include a system of some sort. The abilities in these systems can be earned provided someone does well enough in one or two missions. It can give off a feeling of plot convenience though, so I decided to make the value of the currency so cheap that the exchange system will be difficult to cheat with easy grinding. To avoid this, there is a urgency for characters to try and learn from the worlds they visit. Of course, characters cannot enter worlds totally unprepared so the beginner's gift is implemented. This can result in certain battle styles for each character as it is difficult to amass a collection of abilities for variety.]
Question: [What do you mean by returning to an anime?]
Answer: [Exactly what it sounds like. Many anime have multiple story arcs. Each one more difficult than the last. So there is a need to return to some select anime and further interact with the host characters. This can lead to some missions being either easier or harder in the future based on character interactions.]
Question: [Define the lifespan of the characters and why the main isn't so certain?]
Answer: [To give the characters a feeling of life, there must be a feeling of death as well. So a character can live as long as they are able to and die at any moment as well. The main character is just the one that the readers are introduced to. He can die himself.]
Question: [Why save the part about the amnesia for last?]
Answer: [When looking at a character, you view their previous experiences and their current outlook as well as relations. It is not for the fish out of water story. It is to include a mystery to who a character is and what they are doing there. I'm warning you though, it will be guessed by a majority given the pacing.]
Now that the explanations and world building is explored, I hope for some people to take the time to read this story. It will be submitted to the Phenomenal Author Evolution contest for male leads, so enjoy it there as well as the other entries.

Welcome to the void. A world that exists to drive men and women forward in hopes of achieving true strength. The weak will be left corpses on the road while the strong will face even greater challenges.

Notice: This is just a side story and does not relate any way in the main story so you can ignore this if you want. 

"I am finally here." A person said. "Huh, who are you and where is the author." The Reader asked with a confused face. "Me, you ask? I am the great alter ego." Alter ego replied. "Oh! But why are you here?" Reader asked.

"Well, I am here to save the character from the sadistic author." Alter ego replied while laughing. "Huh, What do you mean by that, and how will you save the character?" Reader asked with a confused face. "Well, that's a good question, but I can't answer you." Alter ego replied, shaking his head.

"Huh, is it that secretive and important," Reader asked with an excited face. "Nope, not at all, it's just I want to build up the tension." Alter ego replied with pride. "Ah! Okay, then but can you tell me how are you here or you going build-up that so-called tension." The Reader asked. "Haha you are learning from me, and yes I will not tell you." Alter ego replied, laughing. "So, how are you going to save the character." Reader asked. "Well, for that, I will show you so I can increase the word count." Alter ego replied. "Aren't you ashamed?" Reader asked. "Nope, not at all and let me increase my word count." Alter ego said and started the story.

Just as William punched Karol, Ellie didn't stop him and kept hitting him, and after a while, he finally stopped breathing. "Heh! Never talk s**t about her." William said, laughing. 

"Wait, Wait, Wait, what are you doing?" Reader suddenly interfered. "What do you mean by that?" Alter ego asked with a confused face. "Aren't you going to save him, then why are you killing him?" Reader asked with a stern voice. Suddenly Alter ego started laughing, "He can't die as he has something no other can have, something that others always want but can never get." The Alter ego started his monologue. "Huh, what does he have?" Reader asked with an excited face. "Well, he has the plot armor." Alter ego said and continued the story.

Suddenly, Karol body started glowing, and his every wound was healed. He then looked into William's eyes and said, "Die." and he died. Karol looked at himself and realized he gained immense power and was able to kill anybody with his word. Suddenly he looked towards Ellie.

Ellie then bowed Infront of Karol and said, "Oh! My master, I am sorry I did not realize your greatness and wanted you to forgive me." Karol being a generous guy forgive her and then married her. Then Karol travels every place in the universe, killing everyone that annoys him with his plot armor and no could kill him as he had the plot armor. He also married every beautiful girl and have kids with them.

"Wait, Haven't you just make the worst story." Reader asked as he started to get a headache. "Heh, I never say that I am writing a story and that sadistic bastard is writing it, I am trying to save the character of the novel." Alter ego replied. "But haven't you only saved Karol." Reader asked. "Well, in the novel, only the main character is a character, and everyone else is.." Before he could finish his sentence, he falls unconscious.

"I am sorry about this person, and I will not upload the chapter." The author said after hitting on the alter ego's head. Then he picked up alter ego and take him to the basement and chained him in the chair in the basement.

A few hours later.

"Huh, where am I?" Alter ego asked. "You are chained in the basement by the author, and he also stopped the upload of that chapter." Reader replied. "Heh, like he can do that as I have scheduled it so it is going to be uploaded and guys give the novel five stars and follow it." Alter ego replied, laughing maniacally. "Aren't you ashamed by your self-promotion." Reader asked. "None not at all ahhhhh!" Alter ego suddenly shouted as the light was gone. "Hehe, I was not scared ahhhhh not at ahhhh all." Alter ego keeps shouting as the light keep going and coming.

What will happen next? Will, the author, will realize about the scheduled release? Will alter ego be able to release himself? Will alter ego admits his fear? See all of it in the next episode.

"Wait, but who are you?" Reader asked with a confused face. "Me, I am the mysterious man, hehe." The man then disappears in the shadow while laughing creepily. "What the heck is going on today?" Reader thought, shaking his head.

Adrian is not a trustworthy person and he has a hard time when it comes to focusing on one thing at once. The whole transmigration thing wasn't exactly the best job for him staying in one world for too long isn't something he is too fond of especially achieving missions focused on one subject.

'Okay, I will send you the plot and all the extra information at once host.'

He is a smart person, he understands the bad and good of the world, but this was ridiculous. He is currently in his first world an 18+ romantic drama. Less of romance more of smut, he was never the judgemental type, and he never minded a little smut or maybe a full smut story. No matter what anyone tells you to have a few morals.

His morals consist of these things; he does not like pedophilia in stories or real life. What he means by pedophilia is when a minor is with an adult if that minor is in the 5-year range with the adult he could look past it other than that thinking about it leaves a foul taste in his mouth. He does not like incest in stories or real-life he could only look past it if it's between second cousins. He disdains cheating he wouldn't bother with other people but if his lover does cross the line and cheat he'd simply end then. Lastly, he can't tolerate any type of plagiarism.

The story he is in has two factors that go against his morals pedophilia and incest. The system he is in right now seduction system. He is supposed to seduce the chosen character to fix the story. This system mission goes head to head with the editor system and the cannon fodder counterattack system but since the original body owner was in love with a character the mission fell into the hands of the seduction system. The counterattack system typical doesn't involve seduction even though he is also fixing the story he shouldn't be doing much-changing it would be okay if the story stayed in the same drama so the editor system partially gave it away. In his options, it would probably fit in the hands of the make a wish system but his body owner is a horny teen so the Seduction system became the best choice.

The story is about the lustful love between siblings that are in different age ranges. The older brother is an 18-year-old boy who is in his first year of college in a graphic designing school to be an animator. His sister is 12 years old,  Adrian would probably have been able to look past the incest if the age range wasn't so disgustingly far apart. That also wouldn't have mattered if both of them were adults but no!  The story didn't have any real plot just smut...

So where exactly does his character come in, well...

He was the older brother's friend they were buddies in high school going down their rightful paths in their last year of high school before meeting again in college. He witnesses the scandalous acts of the siblings. So immediately confronted the brother and told him if he didn't stop he'd go to the police. The brother continued and told his sister to be more discreet they were found out again and they got 'rid' of the friend.

 This story was hated getting a 1-star it wasn't even the fact that there was incest. It was mainly because the friend was beloved by the fan base. How the story pointlessly went into gore made it worse. It was not only badly written the story was tagged as heartwarming without any further warning. A bunch of people felt tricked and scammed after looking at the cover of two caring siblings then reading a story about two horny kids.

The main reason the fan base like the friend was because he was loyal but he didn't want to see his friend go down a bad path. It was also noted that he was madly in love with the brother. With how the story was going Adrian was shocked that the friend didn't turn into a yandere, just so the author can turn him into more of a cannon fodder. The reason the editor system wanted the plot was because of the horrible reviews, the cannon fodder counterattack system wanted the plot because of the hatred the boy held for the sister. The seduction system got rights to the plot because the boy's emotions were overpowered by love.

"Okay I get it, but 10962 why couldn't I pick my system."

'Since I was newly updated before scouting you my new features were rearranged. There was supposed to be an at random choice meaning the system will be chosen at random after each mission. But it was voted against and immediately removed but instead of being removed, it caused a virus. So no matter what you choose you picked you'd choose the at random choice.'

"sounds shady."

'It is.'

His mission started a day before the plot began he had three missions.

Main Mission-Seduce the male lead (90 coins)

Side Mission part 1-Turn the sibling relationship into something pure preventing romantic tropes and sexual intercourse (100 coins)

Side Mission part 2- Prevent bloodshed and possible character blackening (200 coins)

"Why are the side missions paying me more than the main mission?"

'Cannon Fodder counterattack system and Editor system leaders wanted to add their part in. So they negotiated to turn their missions into side missions. They are much  wealthier than the Seduction system.'

"Why am I getting paid so little."

'You are a newbie, that is the least you can get for each mission. The price can increase or decrease depending on how much of the mission you succeed in accomplishing.'

"Like minimum wage? I don't get it.."

10962: I got to speak his language.

'No, it's sketchier than that, more like drug dealing.'

"Oh, I get it."

10962: It's scary how fast you estimated how much you'd get paid using drug dealing as a reference...

10962 didn't trust his host background.

'Before we go to the first world you have to officially pick a name for me host.'

"One."

'What? That isn't a normal name host!'

Adrian: I'm too use to naming assassins

10962 I mean One: You showing your evilness again host

'Oh yeah, you can't be OOC, and your new name is Matthew Johnson.'

(World One)

Adrian woke up in a dorm room bunk bed turning to his side he notices a half-naked figure in the middle of changing. The male is fit, slim fit his skin tone creamy white and he has a mole right on waist. Adrian took it upon himself to check the features of the male's face. The male eyes an icy blue and another mole right under his lip. His hair brown cut in a short undercut. He was sexy, to say the least not exactly his type but that want to change the fact that he is currently sexually attracted to him.

"Male lead?"

'Yes, he is the male lead.'

He was kinda jealous of the little sister now, he would seduce this immoral man turning him down and the right road.

"Oh, Matthew you're awake."

The male turned towards him Adrian's face flushing at the sound of his voice it was naturally deep.

'Heads up so you want  seem crazy, just think what you want to say, host.'

'Okay isn't this kid suppose to be 18?'

'He is.'

'He looks like he is in his mid-twenties don't tell me the twelve you old sister looks older than her age too.'

'Yeah, she looks around seven-teen.'

'What? wouldn't she be targeted?'

'Yeah, that's why she attaches herself to her brother I suggest you get close to her and get her to make friends her age outside of her brother.'

Adrian sat up stretching lightly yawning he was only wearing boxers. The original body's owner seemed to sleep the same way he does.

"What time is it?"

He questions curiously faking tiredness.

"Your class is halfway over."

He started frankly he took the chance to run to the bathroom just to get to the mirror seeing his face. 

"Not bad."

He muttered, Matthew has black hair and black eyes the only similarities he has with his original body. The male also has a scar right under his eye, and his hair messy giving him a natural wild look. His body is not as muscular as the male lead that much was to be expected being leaner but he was taller. His skin tone pales he was obviously an inside person if not he wouldn't be this sickly pale. Perhaps that's why the silent but deadly male lead got along with him. 

Adrian immediately started assuming Matthew's personality by his appearance.

"Silent, smart, rude, but charming.More like an ice prince.'

'You are correct host do you want his past memories.'

" Why wouldn't I?"


  











(on hiatus until completely edited)

Adrian is a considerably weird person who is a well-known up-and-coming actor. Being an easily bored person he was ready to do anything for entertainment. So when the opportunity to be entertained came he jumps at it becoming a transmigrator. Doing random jobs for money.

What a conversation about the books Lani created, between me (Mystic), Lani, and that idiot is like.

This conversation actually happend on 03/28/12 which was before the update she gave,I think, I can't remember. It was like 2am and we were all just talking. Kind of. Moving on :)


Take one (#1)



Lani:So,I was thinking of un-suspending 'Broken Season' and re doing the entire thing again.

Idiot:'Broken Season' is the first book you wrote right?

Lani:Yes

Idiot:So,did the personal issue end? I know you had to suspend it for personal reasons and a bit of a legal one.

Lani:The legal reason was only due to the fact that the plot was a bit similar to another book I had never heard of. I mean,the genre of my book will obviously has a similar plot to other books in my category depending on how I write it.

Me:Yeah! Like remember those manga books being published? There were a lot of reincarnation princesses with cold cruel dad's but they all got dotted on. You know what I mean,right lani?

Lani:(Is secretly a manga fan but won't admit it)

Idiot:What?

Lani:Nothing moving on. He is just spouting nonsense again.

Me:😮😣


Idiot:Anyways,what you said is true,you can't just claim one plot for your own and not expect someone else to expand on it

Lani:However,I went back and checked and 5 chapters didn't upload properly

Me:The hell does that mean?

Lani:There was supposed to be 2 chapters in between the third and fourth chapter. However, It seems that it wasn't there. And I looked in drafts and the chapters are gone. I didn't even notice I posted them out of order.

Idiot:So the other chapters are gone?

Lani:Yes,unfortunately

Me:So? Just redo the damn chapters. Easy

Lani and Idiot look at me as if I'm a parasite 😢

Lani: *sigh*
Lani: It isn't that simple. I wrote that book a few months ago. I can't just pick up the story I stopped without knowing the original plot.

Idiot:She has a point. Picking up where you left off without actually knowing when or how to pick it up isn't easy. I would say un publish all the chapters and start again but-

Me:Boring! Too much work

Idiot:Then what do you suggest?

Me:Obvious! Delete the entire book and start fresh!

Lani spits out her tea she is drinking (she was sick during this time) and Idiot stares at me like I grew a second head.

Idiot:So basically start from nothing?

Me:Exactly! I mean why stress over a plot you can't remember? Also,you have new ideas don't you?

Lani:Well yes of course, but those are for the other book I was working on. I cant just switch plots just because of my new idea

Me:New story? Which one? You mean 'After us there was-"

Lani:Yes but also no. That book is going to be handed over to Idiot (she actually said his name but I can't remember it cause he's stupid)


Me:Huh? No fair! Why can't I also help out with a book? 

Lani: Because,you get off the actual story and write randomly. You also hate typing too much. Besides,me and Idiot came up with this other story together so we both will work on it.

Me:Ugh,no fucking fair~

Idiot:That aside,shouldn't we discuss when to pick up 'Beautiful Everything'?

Lani:Probably May 4th,unless something happens. I do want to pick it up again but..



Me and Idiot look at each other. Lani has her head down and is playing with her fingers. At this point her grandmother was going to be put on life support unless something changed. And this was before the update she made.

Idiot:Lani,leave the books to me and Mystic. I can write a few chapters for 'Beautiful Everything' I won't post them exactly without your permission but-

Lani:Go ahead. If you feel the chapters are good enough then go ahead. I would rather update it at least once every two weeks if possible. I'll give you full control in a few days along with an update.

Me:Wait if he gets control over 'Beautiful Everything' can I write in the 'Short stories' book? I wanna at least do something to help.

Lani:I appreciate it but you dislike literature and don't do books. 

Me:But Lani-

Idiot:That's enough,she is stressed out enough as it is. Leave her be with her choices.

Me:pft

Lani:Alright so it's settled then? I will give you control over 'Beautiful Everything' until I return. If you want to post an update in my place go ahead. As for 'Short stories' post at least once every few days.

She looks at me and narrows her eyes.

Lani:Also,do not touch my account on Webnovel or Webcomics or anything got it Mystic? I know you touch my phone without my permission which is fine but do not go through my book tabs or anything

Me:You read a lot of manga

Lani stares at me with a blank look

Me:Hey in my defense,you told me not to look AFTER i already did so-

Idiot:That makes it better how?

Me:Right..







The end!

And yes Lani is currently not with us anymore she died.


Not



Just kidding! She got sick due to stress and then was temporarily bed ridden. However she's fine now,but she did leave her phone behind with us to update these books. By us I mean Idiot.

Like seriously no fair! I wanna update too~



I should go through her reading tabs while I have her phone yeah? 😣 ugh but I would be a bad friend right? Right?!

—Latrice's POV—
I was walking in the town of the heavenly realm all by myself because Ruru is with Hubris and I just sneak out of that place. I don't know how long will we have to stay here too, so it's getting boring. Besides, I'm kind of worried about my brother and my grandma since everyone said that something happened in my world. 
After I get exhausted, I sat on the bench as the people are just passing by. I watch them slowly, they seemed to be contented in this place. This is what they call paradise right? But it still looks like a small town, like in my world. 
"I want something to eat." Somehow, my stomach is growling. Probably because I'm still a human, I should be going back to the human world now. 
It's a hassle that I can't eat what I want. I wanna go back to my world but if I decide that, that means I must turn down their offer. 
I sighed, well. I don't really want to be in this place in the first place so not accepting their offer is my great choice.
"If your stomach is harshly growling like that, shouldn't you eat something instead. It sounds like, your insides will eat you instead." But I was so surprised when I saw a familiar face, yes. 
The one I fought for saying Ruru is nothing but a hindrance. It was this guy again, what does he want?
"What are you doing here? What do you want?!" I glared while asking him these questions.
But he just stared at me in the rearview. I saw that you dumbass, don't try to look cool in front of me because you aren't cool at all. 
"I'm just concerned that your stomach is growling too much that I have to go here just to tell it to you. Do you want to eat something?" Wait, why is he even trying to be friendly to me right now? 
As if I'm going to fall to that trick of yours. 
"No thanks! I'm all good, you don't have to feel troubled just because my stomach is growling. It's not of your business!" 
As I said, I immediately stood up, and as I tried to leave. He suddenly lifted me without any permission.
"I said come." 
What the heck is he doing!? "Put me down! What in the world are you doing! I said put me down!" I already pulled his hair and hit him so many times but it's useless. He doesn't wanna put me down!
And in the end, I found myself in a neat food stall. 
I was forced to sit beside him. "What do you want?" He asked me while looking at me blankly. 
I didn't talk or even speak to him. I was just looking instead or probably glaring. I don't know what he was thinking and trying to make contact with me.
"Okay, let me pick your food instead. Jeez, you're such a brat for your age." 
What the heck!? How dare you say that to me when you rudely dragged me in this place! 
Like what he said, he chose food for me. While watching him. I can't stop thinking why does this guy doing this so suddenly? He's so rude before, saying that Ruru is an evil spirit. I already know that but he shouldn't try and force me to avoid him.
Because no matter what they do, I'll go with Ruru because he is the reason why I am still alive until now. There's a lot of happening in my life but I'm somehow glad because I'm still living.
"I'm sorry…" my attention was caught when the guy suddenly made an apologetic tone. He then turned his head and glanced at me at once. "...think of this as compensation for being rude to your friend. I didn't mean to say those things. Your name is Latrice, right?"
Wow, I never thought that this guy knows how to accept his mistakes. Well, we're in heaven so perhaps it's just normal to feel sorry. Should I forgive him? He said he didn't mean right?
"Well… okay then. But don't repeat it again okay? Ruru is not a bad ghost! Even though he turned into an evil spirit, it doesn't mean he did something bad already! So don't judge the book by its cover." 
The guy suddenly nodded in so kindly as he smiled at me. "Yes. I will respect your wishes." 
The food stall owner put the food that in the table and the guy started eating. 
As for I am, I ate too. The food he ordered for me, I don't have any choice and I'm so hungry this is why I can't help but to eat. 
"Latrice?" Wait, did I just heard Ruru? When I turned my head, I saw Ruru standing in a distance. Confused and somehow hesitating. 
"Ruru! I'm glad you are here!" I said and ran toward to him. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This chapter only contain 1k words.
Special Chapter Part 2. 
So, I'm writing this again to make clear the characters I have inserted so far. And I don't want to be dull. Let's be natural in this chapter okay? 
Some people are asking why the title of the story is misleading. Ahh! Yes, It is. I am originally a writer in Wattpad and I just migrated here because someone gave me an opportunity to do so. The original plot of Ruru's Livestream show is just short but I didn't realize that when I write in web novel, I need to write like 100 chapters up! And there it goes, kind of messed up. 
I know the story doesn't focus on Ruru anymore. But please don't judge it. It makes me sad, even though I am just a noob writer. I still feel hurt. 
I changed the whole plot like a roller coaster, upside-down. Haha! I never intend to put something demons and angels from the start 'coz that's my original plot that it should be focusing on our cute Ruru but then. *Sigh* 
Am I creating a monster? 
Anyway, next is English. 
I'm not really good at English, my original Language is Japanese. (Why does English be so hard?) and I am teaching myself to write and deliver my story clearly. But still, I'm crying! I'm so sorry if you find English difficult to read. 
So originally, I was supposed to draw a manga (With colors, I find it cute) after finishing this story but I guess it'll have a little bit of delay. Because I'm working on the story (Her name is Alice) yeah! Another fantasy story of mine. I can't write to both of them at the same time. I find that difficult. 
Going back to the plot, why is Japan being destroyed? Haha, I don't know too. I just came up with it since I guess, the queen---*Slap* That's a secret for a while. I don't really want to ruin the fun. 
Oh yeah! I have read a review that seemed to be related to the original 'Ruru's Suicide livestream show' in which she/he said that Ruru is being demonized? I don't know if that's the exact word. 
First, Ruru's livestream's show is a fictional story of mine (This story. Not the kamattechan) yes, they may have similar goals and in the first few chapters, I have written something related to her but as I repeat myself, I do respect the names and ethics of the living and dead. This story is just fictional, fictional forever. *Sigh*
Why didn't I just write an Isekai just like other people do? It's because there's already a lot of beautiful Isekai's stories. I don't want to ruin the isekai plots with mine. Though, does my story look like Isekai? Ahaha, I leave that question to you. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I remember, I left the last characters to Jeanne and the rest. 
Let's go to the antagonist. 
Antagonist number 1, just kidding. 
There are 7 sinners considered as the antagonist. 
If you know the seven deadly sins, I kind of used those as my plot maker and setters in my story. 
There we have Greed, the first antagonist that appeared in the story. Also, he lost his life easily. Thanks for being greedy. 
Greed was from the Netherworld, not in hell. He is a friend of the head in the netherworld. They have received an order in the Hell kingdom that they must look for the people or humans that have 'Special vision'. 
Why do they need a person with a special vision? Because the demons can't see the Angels if it is trying to hide themselves. Only a certain vision can reveal its existence. 
Why do they need to capture the Angels? (In chapter 23 entitled, Chaos at the underworld.) Neon told them that the ruler of Netherworld and Hell had come up to a certain contract. Where if they capture the Angels and Eat/Devour/Replenish their power using those poor angels. They'll get stronger enough to dominate both realms. Killing Angels is a huge loss for the heavenly realm. 
So instead of capturing the Angels, this girl (Latrice) who seemed to be shiny in the eyes of demons. Everyone wants to capture her instead. *Ugh! Stupid* because she's not only a holder of the special ability that stated above. But also she holds something that demons drive them crazy. 
Next is, Acedia~ 
Acedia the sloth appeared in volume two, as he was the one who brainwashed the humans which is Latrice's classmate. And captured Kuro who was considered to be a Nephilim (Half-Human and Half Angel) *Finally they captured an angel -_-* 
But before that, Mikael who was considered to be a death god was also imprisoned by the demons. 
In volume two, there are few demons from seven sinners have appeared. Like Vana and Temperanza. Since the story is still ongoing up to now. Let's skip the details of it. 
Hubris is also considered as a member of seven sinners. In volume two, Hubris is revealed as a Son of the Queen who rules the hell kingdom. When Latrice came back in time, which Neon set for her to retrace everything. She saw Hubris as a little kid who seemed to be attached to her deeply. 
Latrice also realized that Hubris is brother-like to her. Though Hubris is a Prince of Hell, not all the demons know him. Since the queen doesn't really announce that she has a demon son and a human daughter. 
Lumina is Hubris' younger sister who is a human. Lumina was born in the Human World, but some time after that, the Queen decided to bring her in hell. That's why the girl's life was being threatened. Not only because of the pressure but also the deadly miasma that kills a human life. Lumina is fragile and weak, Hubris doesn't really like her because he considered her a pest who resides in hell. 
Lumina has a loyal servant named Gilford, who was a full-fledged demon but being ordered by a human. He promised that he will protect the princess until the end yet did he really fulfill that promise?
There's a lot of new characters appearing in the latest volume. 
Like Seraphim and Altricia, Latrice's parents. Seraphim was Latrice's father and Altricia was her mother who was a full-fledged angel. Altricia met Seraphim when she was punished and exiled to heaven. She was brought to the Hell Kingdom to atone for her sin yet when she got there Seraphim who was a noble demon rescued her and gave her a nice shelter while staying in that realm. 
Altricia's sin is yet to be revealed. 
The two of them fell in love with each other but the reason they can't be together is because of the Queen who has a one-sided love with Seraphim. Although Altricia and Seraphim successfully escaped from the Queen, the two of them weren't able to stay together until the end. Altricia died after giving birth to their first and last child who is later named Latrice. 
After Altricia died, the lone demon came back to the manor which he stayed before together with his daughter. The demons don't like the half-demon and half-angel, so Seraphim tried his very best to protect the last treasure Altricia left to him. 
Even though Seraphim has already a kid, the engagement between the Queen and him still resumed. Latrice's father was forced to stay in the palace where the Queen is living. Together with her children, later on, Latrice's stepbrother and sister. 
In the present, Laize and her mother were also caught in the chaos. When Laize's birthday occurred, Latrice successfully celebrated her step-brother's birthday. She stayed in their old house, which Latrice was living in before. But after that happy moments. 
Gilford, who used to be Lumina's servant, infiltrated their house. Gilford used Laize's mother (Who seemed to be a devil worshipper) to track down Latrice's whereabouts. Because of that, Laize's life was put in danger, Latrice tried to save him but when Gilford realized that the girl was somehow resembling his Princess. He offered Latrice to come with him and even tried to manipulate her using her father. But thanks to Laize that even though he is weak and his wound is life-threatening, he still helped her sister. 
Gilford failed to bring Latrice to the Hell Kingdom. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're going to stop here! I tried to explain it briefly this time. I'm not really used to writing without this thing because I want to clear out everything that this story flaws. It's not perfect that is why I'm trying my very best to write beautifully.
I'm really jealous of the pro writers >< 
Why do they write beautifully and I can't even do that myself? 
Anyways, if there is something that's bugging you. Don't be afraid to comment here but I do hope it's not a bash. T-T 
I'm just a fragile human being that lives alone! 
Alright, that's it. 
Thank you for supporting this story! *Waves at 600 plus collectors and readers*
I would also like to thank the people who gifted me! I really appreciate it QwQ Thank you!


What will you do if you can see a ghost? A spirit or maybe some magical Elementals. Will you chase them away to prevent the conflicts between the two different worlds? Or will you become a bridge for them to create chaos? Just like the girl in the story.

Her name is Latrice, The Girl who can see Creatures that normal people can't see. But instead of talking to them, she often ignores or chases them away until one day, Some anomaly video was sent to her phone entitled "Ruru's Livestream Show" Where she has seen a boy that jumped off the rooftop in the 13th-floor building of the hotel. Latrice tried to save the suicidal boy by going to the exact place but it was a bit too late for the two of them. Although she spent some time searching for the boy's body, she couldn't find it anywhere but someone has found her, The boy who died in the exact place approached her. Unlike the other Ghost Latrice's ignored, she noticed that the boy is drowning in the depth of sadness however in their meeting. Latrice would try not to have any contact with the poor ghost.

But the ghost didn't have any hesitation in Latrice and so later on, he ended up following Latrice anywhere she goes.

The author would like to thank Shinsei Kamattechan for the tribute song on Ruru's Suicide Livestream Show on youtube. Because of the song, it became an inspiration to the Author but doesn't mean that the story is purely-life reenacting and focusing on her. 

Please avoid the misunderstanding, and the Author fully respects one's life.)

I'm actually a little doubtful there are people still here now... I mean, there's only two Original Works I even want to work on: Those being this and An Adventure Beyond Greatness! ...Though I feel kinda unmotivated when I'm writing by myself and there's no one to talk to. Life's empty these days...

There are times I'm motivated by 'Hey, there might be a comment the next time I post' and then I just wait for it, feel satisfied once I see it, then go write the next chapter because I feel some worth in spending my time writing a story for readers.

I've also tried working on a Gaiaverse RP Amino that has three works as it's foundation (Battlefield Restart, An Adventure Beyond Greatness, and An Identity Beyond Self, that are basically three different variants of Isekai) but don't have any experience in Role-Playing so I don't know how to write the Guidelines. I already made plans to write a fictional universe like the Gaiaverse but there's too little things I am able to do for it right now...

A lot of IRL stuff have been weighing down on my mind recently. I'm not sure if I should be following the trends online to grab readers or just do as I want... Ah, I'm jealous of those who do as they want and don't question it like the characters I create. And also feeling inferior to actual authors...

Anyway, I find myself a better critic rather than writing my own works thanks to my very nitpicking nature acting up whenever I see a good story that only needs some improvements. There are those who I've seen give 'feedback' on stories online but why do I feel they miss the point of being a critic?

I've went around A LOT of websites that have to do with writing and in the end, I found there was one big example of what I mean on closer than I thought Discord. There was a chapter that ticked all my boxes and made me interested as a reader on top of it about its plot but in the end of the day all I saw was a 'feedback' telling this good writer that they 'made a mistake by not explaining the core conflicts and character's personality in-depth'.

This critique really made my head turn as I couldn't understand how they missed the point of the chapter as well as how 'not giving information that isn't needed right now' adds an air of mystique.

I mean, there's a difference between 'narrating' for your audience and 'telling them the details'. The former layers a story with emotions while the latter only make them this 'yep, this is happening now'.

After all, investment doesn't come from knowing the overall situation but the characters who draw intrigue. Question like: 'What are this man's intentions?' And 'Does this person actually mean what they say?' Are what adds subtext that shows that the writer is trusting their reader connect the dots that aren't outright stated in the story.

Of course, there's a difference between holding back information because you yourself don't have the answers and doing it because you have a plan for later. Even Professional Authors like the J.R.R Martin name drop organisations and places before going in-depth once they become relevant later.

What my point is that as long as you have a plan for later, it isn't NECESSARY to give all the information at once. If you summarise the story in the first chapter alone, what will you have for later?

It's like how badly the Cautious Hero Anime could have become if it only repeated its main gimmick without any flare later on (though if your story is based off nothing more than a gimmick then you should keep it as a short story rather than lengthening it for no reason). Instead it actually had a lot more elements that was explored later on.

My reason for going on and on about this is because I feel that there are too many with their critics aiming towards what they want to see later because it's interesting rather than if the written draft is good right now.

I know this sounds similar to what I wrote that time I quite this story which was basically 'I got harassed by people not knowing how to criticise a story properly' but I feel like it's still relevant now.

Well... That's all I got. Be sure to tell me if you guys want a rant or analysis on something and I'll add it to the list of numbered blogs in the Auxiliary Chapters. And you might want to tune in since a plot twist you kinda saw coming but didn't expect to happen will come up in the next few chapters.

The end of the 2nd Arc is near!

(Cover by Darkstar Dust)

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.
