Because of An A**hole

Although I may not act like one, I am actually quit an introvert from time to time.

I was actually raised by my so-called maternal grandparents since they told me that I was actually an accident, but because my mother wanted to keep my father by her side, she kept me and gave birth to me. Still, in the end she suffered for no reason since he left her not long after I was born. Then somewhere during elementary school she remarried to another guy, so my grandparents told me that she left me behind and forced them to raise me. They always think only if my mother have not give birth to me, everyone would've been happy, and to be honest, I kinda agree. But since I'm already in this world, I thought that I might as well try and see what's this world is all about.

However, from a young age, I understood that not having money really sucks a**. So when majority of the kids from high school were trying to socialize with people and making friends, I was socializing at part time and making money.... I guess its the same thing? But just different scenario. Either way, because of that, I don't have friends, and people that I have "friendly" terms with are only my collogues, but we usually only talk sh*ts about our work and our boss.

Once I get off work, I usually just go back to my room and tries to finish my homework from school then daze off into the sky, since my so call grandparents doesn't really like to know that I was still existing. Sometimes, this type of life can be boring since I don't have much to do in the tiny space of my room, so I thought that I can just start writing a novel to past time.

Historical romance has always been popular among web novel readers, so I thought I should give it a try, thinking that if the novel get popular I could've earned big bucks. Of course, it never got popular even after I finished writing it, actually, barely anyone read it, the max view that I have seen were 10 views only. Now that I thought of it, the plot is kinda cringy and basic.

It is basically a love story between a male lead that is the crown prince of the Si kingdom, and a female lead that is the illegitimate child of a powerful high official in the Si kingdom. Of course, both of them are world class beauty, the male is charismatic and smart while the female is elegant and smart. A cringy historical romance novel is incomplete without a villain that tries to sperate the main leads, whom is also the second male lead of the plot. The second male lead is son of a fallen general that that was once also a powerful official in the SI kingdom, but got accused for betrayal so his whole family got massacred and only he survived. He wants to get his revenge on the Si kingdom, but at the same time, he also fell in love the female lead blah blah blah, he died and the main leads are happily ever after. You get the point.

Anyway, I have lived the same life style throughout my life until my last breath. If I knew that I would died at such a young age by the infamous truck-san, I would not have worked at such a young age. Afterall, I still get free food and a roof on top of my head everyday, just not any other things, but I mean I'll still live with just that.

Sigh... Oh well, I guess me suddenly dyeing like this can be my gift for my grandparents, since they did feed me throughout the time that I was alive.

....

Just like that, a day went by and the night came.

The moon and stars may look similar to the one from the modern world, but the moon from this world looks even clearer and the stars are much more brighter.

Though this world is not as lit up as the modern world because of the lack of technologies and all that, the natural light from the moon and stars is enough to create an obvious shadow on the ground. And for some reason, it gives off a very comfortable feeling.

After I finished taking a bath that the servants of this house prepared for me, I wore back a white one piece undergarment that is similar to the one that I have wore since the moment I woke up in this world.

To be honest, it was weird and awkward to have people serving me the whole day. I don't hate it but I do prefer to do things myself since I am not used to having people serving me. Most importantly, I like to do things my way, under my own management. Sigh... I guess I should not ask the servants for too much help in the future, since they just do it for me in the end when I was planning to do things myself.

I walked out of my room and into the front garden for some fresh air.

When I reached the pavilion that is in the garden, I sat on the edge and let my legs hang freely into the mid air that is just a bit above of the man-made koi pond. I let night breeze blow onto my face as it gently lift my long hair that I let loose.

When I looked into the mirror to see who's body I reincarnated to in the story, I realized that it's just the same old face I have been living with since I was born, but just a longer hair. I'm sure how old I am in this world right now, but according to the face that I see in the mirror, I might be around the same age as the moment I got killed by the unknown truck-san.

"Same age as the moment I died huh..." I said quietly to myself

"Even after death and reincarnation, I still don't have the choice go back to my past self to change things or go to my future self to know how my life is gonna be like...and right now...hehe...I don't even know what is going on...." I said as I snickered

I look down onto the man-made koi pond that is reflecting over my helpless face, then I closed my eyes and let out a big sigh...

"You really do be sighing too much today, kid"

My body jumped from the sudden voice that spoke to me over my shoulder.

My hand slipped and I felt the gravity pulling me downward, thinking that I'll fall face down into the pond, I automatically closed my eyes and awaited for the trenchful moment to come. But then few seconds later....I felt like I was still able to breathe instead of drowning and when I touch myself, I realized that I am not wet at all.

Thinking that something doesn't feel right, I open one of eyes to see what's happening, I see a man standing in front of me smirking. He looks like he is around his mid 30s to early 40s; wearing a sheer light blue robe in hanfu style (a type of ancient Chinese clothing style), while his hair is tied up messily with a calligraphy brush.

While looking at him, it took me a few moment that I am actually floating in mid-air, right above the koi pond.

I was surprised for a few seconds, but then I came back to sense and looked at the man that is standing in front of me, then I pointed at him and said:

"Who you?"

"Who do yo think I am?" He asked back while still having a smirk on his face

"Are you dumb? Why would I ask you if I know who you are?" I replied back while looking at him like he is an idiot.

He stopped smirking and gave me a dumbfounded look, then he opened his mouth like he was about to say something, but before he was able to say anything I cut his words and said in anger:

"But you are definitely one of the people that has something to do with whatever the hell is going on in my life right now, no?"

After I said that, he closed his mouth then looked away from my eyes and said to himself thinking that I will not be able to hear him:

"Smartass"

He then cleared his throat and looked back at me, and said "I guess you can say that" then stop.

I look at him not saying anything while crossing my arm waiting for his next response.

Seeing that I am waiting for his next response, he continues after clearing his throat for the second time "My name is Siming, I guess you humans also know me as the deity of destiny. But to be more precise, my job is to create a new world for stories that are written out by you guys and make it into a reality. Afterall, destinies are just storylines that are already set down for you by another person."

"storylines that are already set down for you by another person... my ass" I thought that to myself, this is one of the many reasons why I don't like the existence of the so-called "destiny". Then I asked him:

"So, what connections do you have with the current situation that I'm in?"

"Uhh...haha...ha" he laughed awkwardly while looking into my eyes.

"Well.." he continues "I kind of kill you by accident..."

I stare at him with disbelief in my eyes, but before he let me open my mouth, he continues:

"But I swear it was an accident, I was actually tying to get another persons soul since her life was about to come to an end at your world, so I thought its time for me to connect it and put her into another world, but...but I accidently pulled the wrong string and it killed you instead...." he said guiltily .

"You pulled the wrong string??!!!" I said while raised my voice in anger

"I know I'm at wrong, I'm so sorry!! I also felt really guilty about this too!! Which is the reason why I let you reincarnated into this world, you know!!" He said while looking at me sorrily.

"I let you into this world since it is the world that you created with your own hand and ink, while having your past memories still intact to you!! Don't you think that it is a very honorable thing for people to watch their own stories come to live in front of their eyes, knowing that it is their own artwork?" He said while looking at me with his eyes that shows "you should thank me for this great opportunity."

"Pff, honorable my ass!!" I yelled "Why the hell would I be honorable to watch my own stupid shit come to life, and with that said, isn't this your job to make all stories come to life!!"

Siming opened his eyes wide with total disagreement "Of course not!! Only the popular storylines get to become reality, after all, it takes a lot of time and efforts to create a single world while trying to find souls to take over the characters you know!"

He walked a little bit closer to me then sarcastically smirked at me "Not only is your plot not popular at all, just as you have said before, it's stupid! So why do you think I wasted my time and effort on this world? Did you just not see that this world that I created is only half-baked? If it's not because I felt sorry for you, I would have never make a half-baked world like this!" he said while crossing his arms.
