Ch- 3 "Awakening of Fate"

Year 2018~

At 2:00 AM on October 31st, within the confines of a room adorned with a fusion of Halloween and Birthday decorations, Swayam found himself at the crossroads of rediscovery.

He had recently rekindled his long-lost ambition of becoming a writer. Yet, as he sat there, bathed in the eerie glow of jack-o'-lanterns and surrounded by whimsical streamers, he grappled with a profound sense of cluelessness.

How, he wondered, should he embark on this literary journey, and what tale should he pen for his inaugural foray into the world of storytelling?

Amidst these contemplations, a story from the depths of his memory suddenly surfaced—a narrative etched into his consciousness from a previous life, a tale that had wielded profound influence over his existence, even up to his untimely demise at the tender age of twenty-two.

"Simply desiring to become a writer is not enough." he recalled reading on a community forum during his prior existence.

The wisdom imparted had never quite taken root within him then, but now, he grasped its significance. Understanding the essence of being a "Writer" and how they channeled their imaginative worlds into words was paramount.

He continued to reflect, "To comprehend the writer's mindset, one must delve into their creations and interpret for oneself." In his honest opinion, nothing proved more inspiring than "Warlock of the Magus World," a narrative that had etched itself into the hearts of countless readers, himself included.

Without hesitation, our protagonist resolved to immerse himself in the pages of "WARLOCK OF THE MAGUS WORLD."

He rejoiced in the knowledge that this captivating tale had been fully translated by December 12th, 2017.

Time faded into obscurity as the clock struck 2:00 AM, yet he remained undeterred. Passion knows no boundaries, and for the passionate, distinctions between night and day held little significance.

Driven by his newfound purpose, he dove into the world of words, oblivious to the hour, for those who burn with zeal follow their passions unwaveringly.

In the quest for a specific story, having its title in mind proves a beacon of ease when scouring various platforms. Unlike those vexing instances when you possess knowledge of the tale but remain oblivious to its title—an ordeal, indeed.

As our protagonist delved into the pages of "Warlock of the Magus World," he found himself immersed in a world of fantastical intrigue.

Synopsis of WMW:

"What unfolds when a scientist from a futuristic realm reincarnates into a land of magic and knights? The birth of an exceptional protagonist, that's what! A scientist's insatiable curiosity drives him to uncover the universe's hidden mysteries, and this is precisely the path Leylin chooses upon his rebirth. Dark, analytical, and utterly unapologetic, he leverages every asset in his possession as he embarks on a journey to fulfill his grand ambition.

Superficial appearances? Insignificant. Evaluating threats? Calculated. In this unfamiliar realm, he opts for discretion. Willing to assist you? Certainly, but what's in it for him? Self-interest guides his actions. And as for those who might evolve into formidable adversaries in the future? Well, Leylin has a more direct solution: elimination."

Swayam paused in his reading, a wry smile curling his lips. His thoughts meandered through the synopsis of "WMW."

"Well," he mused, "that was quite the summary, a testament to the unflinching realism of a scientist's mindset. It's a reflection of our human nature when it comes to survival, isn't it? And when you're dealing with a scientist who conducts experiments on living beings day in and day out, nothing less can be expected."

Swayam contemplated a hypothetical scenario, allowing his mind to wander into the realm of what-ifs.

"What if," he pondered, "I found myself in his shoes, transmigrated into Leylin Farlier's very being?"

He shuddered at the thought. "Well," he mused further, "that's not a situation anyone would desire. To thrive in this unforgiving world of 'Magic and Knights,' one must ice their heart and embrace a level of cold, calculation, and ruthlessness surpassing all others."

"Or, at least, that's my conviction," he continued to muse, "As for the hypothetical 'If I were in his situation?' scenario, well, I'd wager that in 99 out of 100 instances, I'd be the one meeting an untimely end, even if I possessed the coveted 'A.I. Chip' as a golden Finger. Believe it or not, certain circumstances demand personalities that are inherently compatible for seamless integration."

A sense of self-awareness crept in. "In my case," he admitted, "I'm simply a peace-loving, pacifist sort of individual. There's no conceivable way I'd survive in the Magus World, let alone entertain thoughts of thriving."
