" And then he went into the dark crack in the fabric of reality to resolve the calamity plaging their world and start a new adventure..."
AS IF!!
In the small rooom illuminated by multitude of colourful led lights and a PC working overtime on one side, a young man around the age of 20 was lying lazily in a single bed .
However, he appeared very frustrated or maybe even exasperated. And the reason was the webnovel he had just finished reading.
He is, what some people would call a "novel addict".
The young man had started reading novels and stories when he was merely a kid of around 10 years and has persisted until now .
Though it would be more accurate to say that he is ADDICTED to reading novels...reason being thats the only way he can live the fantastical life he always dreamed of.
After all, who doesn't wish to be a person with great power ruling over the world? Superpowers, abilities, Demi humans, Super large beasts, dragon, nine tailes foxes and all kinds of mythical creatures, cultivating in a world filled with mana or QI and becoming an immortal able to traverse the cosmos with but a mere thought or a great mage commanding the elements of the world.
However the current world he lived in and the only world he will ever know of most probably is one of science and machines with humans being the weakest of species and no chance of advancement in personnal strength or evolution. No Qi or mana. Even technology isn't that advanced yet.
It's not that he hates this current world or he has any prejudice against science society, but he was personally a fantasy oriented person so he longed for those things.
Also, he was at least financiallly stable ( surviving at least) so he could read all he wanted and dream of things as he wanted.
However the reason he was currently frustrated is because he couldn't find any novel he could immerse himself in or enjoy. In short, he couldn't find any good novels that matched his taste.
With a sign, he walked off the bed and stood in front of the full body mirror he had purchased on a whim some time ago.
The face that came into view was an above average face with dense Lustrous black hair tied from both ends into a high ponytail with rest fallling onto the neck and back. He had no facial hair and even looked a bit baby like, more childish than handsome.
Maybe it was genetics at play but he just couldnt grow much facial hair to actually call them Beard and moustache so in the end he gave up and went for a clean shave.
The only consolation was that he looked better than most men around with a solid 7-8 and had great hair gene to compliment it.
Might be because of all the animes he had watched or the cultivation novels he read, he had a particular liking for long hair. In his own words, " IT looks COOL !".
His name? Raven!
Raven Lovemire!!
...
" Well it's time to restock supplies again i guess." Raven said while walking through the streets to the nearest grocery store to purchase supplies for the next week. The store was 10 minutes walk away from the rented apartment he was living in currently.
While walking normally, Raven couldn't help but daydream.
" How nice it would be if I was somehow isekied to another would suddenly. It doesn't have to be through the hands of Truck -kun, even the summoning circle would work. Or maybe i would reincarnate in my sleep and wake up in the body of some prince of an kingdom or a heir of an ancient immortal family .......Sigh..as if! "
If it was possible, it wouldn't be called imaginaton now right?
And even in the off case that it accutually happened, its' not like this oppotunty will " fall on his head ". He's not that lucky and Raven was fully aware of that.
"At least the weather is pretty good these days, not too hot not too cold for the current season. Should be grateful for that i suppose...."
However while walking and talking to himself about random topics, he suddenly felt his head buzz and for a moment it felt like the whole world went dark.
Then everything was back to normal. Same windy but cool atmosphere, same insects chirping in the background, voices of people talking in the background.
"WHAT THE HECK !?!? What just happened ?"
The guy almost panicked but then calmed down after a moment realising that people in the distance were looking at him awakwardly.
" Maybe i blanked out for a moment there. Damn, i had no idea i was so weak. Though i do have been eating less healthy lately in order to save money for the upcoming GTA VI. Let's buy some some more healthy food this time.... it would be awakward if this happens in public again!"
Thinking so, he went to the store, finished the purchase and returned to his apartment.
"Why am i feeling so tired today though? even the head feels like someones blasting music on full volume in there.....first priority, food!!"
while having a monologue with himself, he prepared dinner, ate and then went to sleep not knowing that this would be the last normal day he would have in his otherwise normal life !
