Chapter 1The not-so-"Well" encounter

"Use the rain and bow to welcome, even from a distance the door opened for you." Page 34 of Keeping Records 16982. uttered by thin pinkish lips like a raspberry. Her ash mauve eyes scanned the book aside from a single white feather ascending on the center surface of the yellowish cover, it look plain. Her cute button nose smelled the old ink from the book. Yes this girl walking on her way to the oprhanage where ahe volunteered, look like a maniac by sniffing a bound of paper as her coal-ash long wavy hair swayed as she continue to make her way to Hope orphanage.

Lehi Lorelei it sounds like a small riddle isn't it? After the short stop shopping, the young lady arrived to the said orpahnage, it is built like a bungalow in a triangular structure with huge historal tower in the middle with an old bell on top, that is loud enough to be heared by the people within the district. The incarnation garden at the backyard is well taken care of, so is the fountain with a torch like cross enveloped by a infinity symbol. This is my favorite place, Yes this is Lehi Lorelei talking to herself, after being left alone by her friend who is on the clinic right now because a certain friend sprain her ankle and it got swollen.

This part of the orphanage is simply tranquil, my parents used to tell me that this is where they first met and fell in love with each other. That is why it is special to me, I am not expecting the same thing will happen on my romantic area but, okay crossed finger honestly yes, I hope this same thing will happen to me infront of this fountain. I remember the book that I got a while ago, I should start reading it. I am about to flip it open when a drop of something wet land on my left cheek, I look up to check if it's about to rain but fireflies are gathering on top of the fountain and the drop came from this fountain. Suddenly a huge wave consumed me, this is suffocating, I screamed for help but I only heared the tower bell respond to me.

This is beyond hilarious, my white lace long sleeve blouse with emerald linings got soaked that it stick to my skin, my long lavender skirt prevents my feet from moving and most of all this is not what I hope for infront of this fountain, I want something romantic not to get drowned by a fountain in broad daylight. I saw my white sandal float, as i raised my voice and hand for help but again only the loud sounding bell responded.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

There it is the sounding echo of the bell from the other side of the mountain. My name is Ophir Glockenspiel, Yes ladies and gentlemen it sound strange and I won't deny it. My parents name me after a lousy carving from an abandon well where they first met and fell inlove. It sound romantic and sentimental but yeah, I guess it's special. By the way my mother is a story teller, she would cross canals, lakes, valleys, streams and rivers, just to tell stories and you know what? I don't hate it, I honestly love it.

I got amused by how people react about my eyes that seems to be spiral because when your far from me it's color is brown but as you get near it blackens, some commented it's abnormal but most are fascinated. I get giddy whenever they complement my curly black and white hair that shaped my face and emphasized my nose line and jaw line that perfectly highlights my small lips.

Enough about me, right now we are in the middle of a mountain gathering sticks for preparing dinner, because tomorrow we will go down at the foot of this mountain to tell stories. And here it is my mother interrupted my brief monologue and introduction. I was about to head back when a strong gust of wind whispered gently

"Use the bow and rain to welcome even from a distance the door opened for you."

Suddenly my eyes caught a small and old well at my left side. Fireflies are gathering on top of it. My feet moved on their own as I got closer i felt my heart throb in a terrified rhythm. I am scared what if a white lady suddenly pop out from there? I did my best to peek inside and my vision captured something white and black.

My knees shake uncontrollably and then a chill went down my spine because an erie female voice came from within the well. It's confirmed this is the famous horror white lady from the well, I have to run, I steadied my feet and about to run to where my mother is, when my ears caught the echo of sounding bell.

The next thing I know I am screaming like a girl as i descend in the depth of this well.

I kept screaming because there is someone in front of me, A lady with messy long black hair wearing a long sleeve white blouse, I bowed and pleaded to spare me but her cold hand reach out to my mouth and said,

" Shut up, Your being noisy. "

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Young Master's PoV: Woke Up As A Villain In A Game One Day

"Now you see?" she shouted in a mix of annoyance and disappointment. "You can't outsmart Scrients! They're the most intelligent beings across the two realms." "You're right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a heavy sigh. "I made a mistake. I was too arrogant to think that a mere human like me could fool them." β€”BOOM!! "Heik! Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I'm not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait, you can't. I killed them all.” ______ My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid, pointless scuffle, and in the middle of it, I tripped and hit my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in - the memories of another life, of a different world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First, I was in a game I used to play in my past life. Second, I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool and mysterious kind, either. No, my destiny was to be manipulated and die a dog's death! I was the worst type of clichΓ©: an ungrateful, privileged, insufferable young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. The kind everyone hates β€” a snobby brat from a powerful noble family who thinks he owns the world just because he was born with a silver spoon lodged in his mouth. You know the type. The one the hero beats to a pulp to prove his worth. Yeah, I was that guy. And the hero? The hero was the kid I’d been bullying all this time. The same one I got into a fight with. He was the supposed savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And at the end of it all, the final antagonist of the game, the undefeatable boss… the Spirit King, was waiting. But could I even make it to the end? Could I conquer a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that was now my reality! β€œAh, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could, but I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, twisting the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains before they could become threats - nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected? Who cares! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was meβ€”my survival, my life, my choices. β€œI will live this life with no regrets.” …But as I soon discovered, fate was not easily changed. And the price of altering one's destiny was steep.
