[Ch'1] Who?

'I would be entering the Academy next month...'

'...'

Has it been a week since I woke up in this body?

I thought it was a dream...

***

I woke up feeling strange all over my body. I was still half awake at the time, but I quickly realize that this wasn't my room.

I thought I had been kidnapped or something.

And feeling something something strange with my body, my head couldn't keep up, I ran to a mirror that's across the room.

"Haah..."

What I saw in the reflection is a White haired and blue eyes teenager.

This is definitely not me.

I trembled while trying to keep my grounds.

"The fuck, is this a dream?"

After thinking that this could be a dream, I calmed down a bit.

"That scared me for a bit."

'...'

'Is this what people call a lucid dream?'

Thinking that, I looked around my surroundings.

I didn't realize this before, when I was running to the mirror, but this room is luxurious and big as hell.

'Is this what a rich person's rooms look like?'

Knock. Knock.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Young master, are you awake?"

A female voice came out from the other side of the door.

"Uh?"

...'Young master? Is that supposed to be me?'

I answered anyway.

"Ye-Yeah..."

"Then would you like your breakfast now?"

Uh... I'm not interested in the breakfast, but what am I supposed to answer?

"Mm... Yeah..."

"Then please excuse me."

"..."

It seems like she left.

'...'

'I'm still surprised that I can control my dream, I will definitely never forget this experience.'

While thinking that, I tried pinching my cheek.

'Ouch...'

It hurts...

What? Does that mean this isn't a dream?

My emotions have changed from surprise and excitement to confusion.

"..."

"Yeah, right, no way"

Who spread the information that you can't feel pain in dreams.

You can definitely feel pain. This is the proof.

"Hmph, internet these days, I almost got fooled by the hoax."

After a while of pondering here and there. Someone knocked on the door again.

Knock. Knock.

"Young master, your breakfast is ready, can I come in?"

Her again... it seems like she prepared the breakfast, well alright.

"Yeah."

The door opened. And a girl dressed in a maid's uniform with long dark red hair entered the room pushing a food trolley.

"Then, I will set the food on the table."

After saying that, she prepared the food nicely on the table.

'Oh, wow'

This is a large breakfast. On the table there's a steak, bacon, egg, bread, some kind of soup, fruits, and vegetables.

'Steak for breakfast?'

Isn't this cool, I can eat steak for breakfast in my dream. The breakfast I will have after waking up definitely can't compare to this.

'This is really delicious.'

Even when I felt full, I still devoured all the food on the table, leaving the plate spotless as if it had never been touched.

Also, the maid was standing still beside me the entire time I was eating.

Even if this is a dream, having a stranger stare at you eating... is a bit uncomfortable. And the fact that she's really pretty makes it even more uncomfortable.

I gazed at her face and her dark red hair, feeling a bit comforted from such a beautiful sight.

'hmm...'

I was thinking about something, and deciding whether I should do it or not.

"Hey..."

"Yes young master?"

"Can I ask for your name?"

This is a dream anyway, It wouldn't be bad to practice my rizz a bit.

If it gets too embarrassing or awkward, I can just wake up.

"..." She looked a bit confused at first but still answered my question.

"My name is Elese Artera"

"Huh?"

Hmm, I feel like I've heard of that name somewhere before... I kept thinking and then I finally remembered.

Ah.

Elese Artera, The Heavenly Flame Dragon witch. A character from a novel that I was translating.

But...

'Why is she in my dream?'

'...'

Right, before this I was translating a novel. Did I fall asleep and dream about the novel?

Well, In front of me is a character from said novel.

I heard from a spoiler that she's one of the most powerful mages, blessed with the talent to control and use fire magic like a dragon would. That's why people call her The Heavenly Flame dragon witch.

The guy who posted the spoiler said not much was known about her. She's a really powerful character that only appeared for a few chapters, but the impact she made on the story is massive.

Readers who read the novel became a fan of her, tho she died later in the story, making the readers depressed.

I haven't gotten that far into the novel yet, so I can't relate. Like I said, I only know her from a spoiler. I haven't read that far, I've only read the novel until like chapter 30.

'...'

'So, why am I dreaming about her as a maid?'

Am I weird? A pervert? I've never had such a thought. Well, maybe...

Anyway, I became really curious.

Like, what about me? What will my name be in this dream? Maybe what kind of character am I possessing?

I decided to ask her again.

"Oh, then, what's my name?"

"...?" Again, she looked confused when I asked these types of questions. But she still answered it nonetheless.

"Your name is Eden Marhemly."

'Hmm... Eden Marhemly...'

I can't remember anyone with that name in the novel.

"..."

"Then can I clean up the table, young master?"

"Oh yeah sure."

After she cleaned the table, she left the room with the plates.

Hmm... Well, what can I do now?

I should enjoy this dream as much as possible right?

And how long will this dream last?

*****

Seven days...

Seven days...

I'm still in this fucking dream for seven days.

I was scared when a whole day has passed and I still hadn't woken up from the dream.

But after a week, I came to a realization.

This isn't a fucking dream.

Everything felt so real to just be a lucid dream.

It's fucking real life.

And it seems like I got transported into the world of the novel I was translating, 'Alberto Saves the World'. That's the title of the novel.

A fantasy novel with your typical Strong Main character going to the academy and later graduates with his friend and saves the world.

I didn't accept it at first, but after an entire week has passed. I calmed down and accepted the fact, that I will live my life in this world starting now, as Eden Marhemly.

'...'

I didn't remember it at first, but after thinking hard and trying to remember if 'Eden Marhemly' appeared in the novel or not.

I finally remembered.

Eden Marhemly does appear in the novel...

Well, but, guess what... Eden Marhemly... Not as a side character or the Main character's friend.

But as a fucking Third-Rate Villain.

A disposable third-rate villain character that only appeared for a single chapter.

In the beginning of the novel, when the Main character entered the academy.

I or Eden Marhemly became the person that mocked the Main character for being a commoner and started a fight with him.

Of course, he lost, he got beaten up by the Main character. And the Academy Headmaster who saw this, expelled me from the academy.

And then later after getting expelled, I somehow died from an accident going back home.

Sigh...

'Fucking hell.'

Well, I didn't worry as much anymore. Because the reason why I will die is because when going back home after getting expelled from the academy, I got into an accident and died.

Don't know what accident, it wasn't mentioned in the novel.

'...'

So, as long as I don't start a fight with the Main character and not get expelled, I should be fine, right?

You should read the next chapter.
