The Unrecorded Extra
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
Ka-ching! It's Monopolizing Time! II
'It's about time!' I thought.
It was about the damn time she gave me something for saving her, even though all of that was what I planned. Kidnapped her, trapped her in a small room, then eventually saved her.
Making her owe me her life which would bring me closer to my goal. Not an end goal though, but a short-term goal. That was making my financial situation stable.
"I appreciate the sentiment, Lumi, but you don't me owe anything," I said, trying to reassure her.
Of course, I did that for pleasantries! I needed to look like I was your humble, virtuous, and kind guy the same as Lux.
It was called the 'build a good rapport' strategy to increase the chance your would-be boss accepted you into their company.
Also, I said that because I knew that no matter what I said and what I did such as reject her proposition, she would still force me onto it.
