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
As Niah and Hulio bickered about 'Shiro Oni' and the student council, Enzo was forced to participate in their talk because he was sitting near them. Meanwhile, Zio was staring at the student council group, particularly at the red-haired girl, Ember.
Since his encounter with the Phoenix and the information he got from it, whether it was true or not, he would constantly look at Ember from afar, seemingly could not stopping to think about what the Phoenix was saying.
Though he didn't get approval from the Phoenix when he asked for her identity was Ember from another timeline, he was half sure that it was Ember because of the flames and the Phoenix's human made-of-flame figure that resembled Ember, especially the flowing flame that was supposed to be the hair was similar.
But, if he wanted to know the actual truth, he needed to wait for the Phoenix's next rebirth.
