The Author's POV

The person whom the world revolves around. The person who defeats all of his opponents, and ultimately gets the beautiful girl. The sole existence all villains fear. That is the protagonist. What about me? As a failed author who had only one success throughout his whole career, I had reincarnated into my late novel. "This is it" I thought, as I tightly clenched my fist. Did I just get reincarnated in my own novel? Is this where I reincarnate in a novel and become the protagonist? No. Sadly it's not that kind of novel, as I reincarnated as a mob. The world doesn't revolve around me. The girls don't come flocking towards me. The cheat items don't come to me. "Phew" I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god I'm not the protagonist" I joyfully shouted as tears streamed down my cheeks. Wait, are you curious as to why I don't want to be the protagonist? I did forget to mention the most important thing when I was describing a protagonist. That is... They are calamity magnets. I just died. If I learned something from that, it's that it really isn't a pleasant experience. If possible let me live a long stable life. Thank you, whoever reincarnated me. I would later come to regret these words... ======== Reader Disclaimer : Please read the *Read before reading novel* in synopsis. ======== Credit to _oinkchan for helping me find the previous novel cover Credit to Rengoku for his amazing edit of the new cover. ======== Discord : https://discord.gg/FNAKgfyky4 Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/TheAuthorPOV

Proposal & Negotiations [2]

Fifth floor, demon hunter guild. Inside an office space. 

—Tap! —Tap!

The rhythmical tapping sound of my fingers echoed across the office space. 

Opposite to me was Edward Stern's holographic image. Neither one of us spoke. 

"What you proposed is 15% on all profits with no shares, am I correct?" 

He was the first to break the silence. 

"Mhm, that's my initial proposal"

I nodded my head in confirmation. 

"Isn't that a bit too low?" 

"I believe fifteen percent is extremely fair. Given that we're just borrowing your name for protection" 

Throughout the exchange, neither mine nor Edward's expression changed. 

To be a good negotiator one needed to be a good actor. That was what I had learned throughout my life. 

If the other party knew about what you were aiming for, things became much easier for them.

Only through deception and indifference could one make a great negotiator.
