Before I woke up, I had a dream about the end of the world. At first, it felt like a vivid nightmare that left me shaken. But as I slowly woke up, I realized that the dream was the pre-ending scene of my own novel. I am Zio Varrez, an unnamed character in my own book, and to my disappointment, an extra. As I lived in my novel's world, I couldn't help but feel that my existence was meaningless. But what made it worse was the fact that the ending of my book was the end of the world - a bad ending. I knew I had to do something to become strong enough to change the world's fate, even if it meant altering the story I once knew completely. Little did I know, there was more to this world than I realized, and the journey I was about to embark on would uncover secrets that I never even imagined. "I thought I knew everything about the world, but as I lived and experienced it, I realized there was so much more to it than I ever imagined." === Daily update! === Author note: The story is going on rather slow pace, expect the boredom for the early 60 chapters
The moon outside shone brightly in the middle of the night. The chill breeze brushed the leaves, making an arrangement of melody. The dormitory building had all their light switched off except for a room with the window left open, letting the chill breeze creep up the boy lay on the floor.
Growling under his teeth, Zio's consciousness finally returned. As he opened his eyes and rose from the floor, he found a small pouch with a note beside him as he shifted into a sitting position.
Reaching for the pouch, he took the note first and read it.
It was but a short sentence that read, "Your monthly Serenity Candy~ -Shannon"
He sighed as he read it, recalling the time when he received a message chat from Shannon telling him that she was going to supply him with Serenity Candy out of nowhere every month.
But, he wondered why should Shannon ask Ember to give him the candies instead of herself in person or use the Octagram's Delivery Service itself.
