I am just a reader. And while I have 12 years’ worth of reading light novels, mangas and fantasy books, I still lack the endurance and devotion to truly write something I would put my heart into, which would be more than just a silly small thing with 10 chapters. 

Yet I became capable of finding faults within other novels so much that I can no longer stop myself from putting it somewhere. Especially because sometimes those faults become the reason I can’t read my favorite novel anymore. It went downhill just too much. 

So this is my collection of the aspects and tips on how to make your writing a better quality.

Well… We've finally come to the end of Spirit Immortal. 

Hehe, I bet you guys didn't see it coming right? The cover of the book was actually the ending scene of the entire story! Haha, I did well to keep it under wraps for the two years I've been writing this story! Finally, I get to share it all with you!

For those that had stuck with me for the near two years, I've been posting Spirit Immortal… It's been quite the hell of a ride. There were many days where I wanted to quit writing this story and there were many times where I just wanted to say: "Fuck it! Let me just leave everything and just tell you the outline of Spirit Immortal straight up!" However, because of you guys, I gritted my teeth and completed the story. 

So… Before I begin the FINAL Author's Thoughts of Spirit Immortal, I want to give a huge thank you for all who supported me. Especially my Patrons, who had actually invested money into Spirit Immortal even though you guys didn't have to. There are some of you who have invested hundreds of dollars to support this project of mine and I don't know how else I could repay you for your continued support... 

Honestly, I lack the words to describe my gratitude, so I can only say this…

Thank you all for being the rock in my life, guiding me to complete the story that I dreamed about so many years back…

Alright, enough of the emotional stuff! Let's get to the real meat of the Author's Thoughts. This will be my longest Author's Thoughts yet so if you lack the time, you really don't have to read it all. However, for those that had read Spirit Immortal all the way, I'm sure that you'll find it all very interesting.

Let me divide it into sections first, just to keep me on track. Firstly, I'll be discussing the overall story of Spirit Immortal. How I conceived it from a theory that I had, the inspirations I took and ultimately… The ending that I'm sure only a percentage of you saw coming.

Secondly, I'll be talking about the challenges I had writing Spirit Immortal. My journey from a teenager in university that had no clue about how to write, to the man that I am now. The challenges that a new author in the web novel genre will come to face and hopefully, it'll teach any of you aspiring authors to not repeat the same mistakes that I'd made.

Thirdly, I'll be writing about the things that I would have done differently (ie, the things that I would want to do in future when writing future stories). Also, the lessons learnt that I wish to impart on my future self, as well as any budding authors reading this. 

Finally… I'm going to talk about my future works and how I'll be approaching writing web novels in the future.

It's going to be a long ride since I'll be trying to condense two years worth of experience into one document, so please bear with me.

Story of Spirit Immortal
As many of you know, I am a fan of Wuxia/Xianxia novels. They have played an integral part of my teenage life, giving me content to binge through while I rode through my schooling years. By now, you should be familiar with how I got into Wuxia/Xianxia, so I'll skip the long introduction and get to the reason why I imagined Spirit Immortal as a Wuxia.

I had a different take about Immortality than the other novels.

It was really as simple as that. In traditional novels, like Coiling Dragon or Doulou Dalu, the ultimate goal for the protagonist was to become an Immortal. Some even have realms above the Immortal Realm and they continually become stronger until they reach Godhood. It's a tale that we've all read before. However, my thoughts about Immortality are a little different.

I don't believe that Eternal Life exists. Or at the very least, not in the way Wuxia/Xianxia novels portray it. Let me explain.

What does Immortal mean? A literal definition means, not mortal. So, before we get to that, let's define what mortal means first. A mortal is any living thing that exists in reality, doing their best to continue their ultimate goal… To live. See, it doesn't matter if you are a human or a dog, a tree or a pig. We're all living creatures fighting against our final destination… death. As much as we don't like to admit it, all living things will die one day. That's what makes them 'living' in the first place. We have immune systems to protect against viruses. Possess various traits that will help us survive in our reality. Legs to run, arms to hunt, mouths to eat, sexual organs to reproduce…

All of these attributes are what makes us mortal. Which means that the desires that come from these attributes are also mortal desires. We hunger to live. We lust to reproduce and further on our genetic lineage. We anger to pump ourselves into action to defend our survival. Every single emotion that humans feel are linked to one main thing… To live. Even trees, which are effectively mortal, respond to changes and adapt to live. 

So what happens when you turn Immortal? All of our survival instincts, all of our desires that make us mortal… It all goes away. 

We will no longer want to do anything because we've already lost our most primal need to survive. Hunger becomes redundant since you won't die. Sexual desires disappear since there's no need for you to reproduce anymore. Feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety, fear… All of them would be stripped bare of any mortal. 

Once we become 'Immortal' we cease being 'Mortal'. Sounds stupid to say out loud, but in most cultivation novels, the protagonist becomes Immortal but still acts as a Mortal. Desiring to grow stronger even though he/she has obtained eternal life. Lusting over new girls in the new realm. Feeling emotions that no Immortal should have… All of these got me wondering…

How could I make a story about an Immortal with this logic that I have?

And then it hit me… The journey.

I have to make a journey tale, one where the protagonist starts from nothing and obtains everything that he'd ever thought possible. And it's not like the journey was perfect. Shin lost people on the way. Learned lessons from a myriad of characters. Took on the journey of life to become the 'perfect hero' that was slated to become the next 'Immortal.' And at the end of it all… He'll realise that Immortality was just a lie made up by humans to feel better about his mortality. 

All humans live. All humans die. In the end, what really matters is the journey that we all take while we're living. It doesn't matter if you become a successful billionaire or a struggling pauper. It doesn't matter if you get to live your dreams or be a recluse that loves to watch shows all day. As long as you're satisfied with your life's journey. That's all that matters.

At least, that was what I was trying to convey in Spirit Immortal.

Remember when I said that I wanted to finish this story because I wanted all of you to see my ending? The ending that I created was to show what my thoughts were about mortality. The life of a mortal, the journey that said mortal would take and finally… The end that no one can escape from. Spirit Immortal isn't a story about Immortality like other Wuxias. It's a story about… Mortality.

I'll be the first to admit. I lost control over the story of Spirit Immortal halfway through writing it. The original storyboard was for Shin to have a single drive (Ariel's resurrection) to carry him all the way to the ending. The ending that would reveal that the Immortal Realm doesn't exist and they were all cogs in a wheel to power the World Spirit. However, as I wrote more settings, introduced more characters, the storyline became more convoluted.

I'm an author that doesn't like to keep things rigid. As I keep adding new things into the story, it would morph whatever narrative I'm trying to write. Kanari's introduction as the secondary love interest was the major turning point for Spirit Immortal as well. I'd initially thought of Kanari as a friend character that was ultimately there only to fuel Shin's growth and to eventually meet Ariel. However, as I'd thought about it… Would Shin really behave that way when a beauty and good-hearted person like Kanari was chasing him? Was love truly eternal and could Shin only be single-minded about one person till the very end.

Then there were more realistic scenarios that I could think of which broke Shin's motivations. Even if Yggdrasil was real and Shin resurrected Ariel, he would still be a mature adult while Ariel would be a fifteen-year-old girl. Was that really realistic for Shin to ignore Kanari, a beautiful woman who had been chasing him when he was a hormonal youth, for a future with an uncertain Ariel.

And finally, I wanted to put in the family aspect into Shin's cultivation life. Family was an important aspect of all human beings. It's what fuels our evolution as a race and what drives us to live yet another day. So, Shin has to have a family before he ascends. So that he could make the final decision that he made at the end…

To not return to Earth and warn people that Immortality was a choice that Shin had to make. The world needs to have this cycle. Cultivators trying to ascend to Immortality, only to become energy for the new generation to rise up. That completes the evolution cycle of the Spirit Immortal world and Shin can only understand that if he has children of his own.

I've hidden many clues throughout the early books about the true nature of the Immortal Realm as well. Remember in Book 1 when I said the Spirit Immortals "burst into energy?" Also, in Book 2, the Mushinkei, the Frie Clan's house in Chilyoja Waypoint, means "Godless" in Japanese. And who could forget the easiest clue that I gave you all? Dexsot Teinost? Literally you can rearrange the words to form "It does not exist." Yes, yes. Very similar to the Harry Potter one with Voldermolt, but still! None of you got it! I even made it clear that I like scrambling words around with the Frie and Awter Clan all the way back in Book 1! 

Challenges
The challenges of being a writer, particularly an online one, is a completely foreign concept to me when I first started writing. I began to write because of my love of it and I'd thought that it would be easy. There are literally thousands of stories online and they each had their own unique flair. Some of them were terrible, some of them were masterpieces. And well… I got inspired by both types.

The masterpieces made me fall in love with stories. The shit stories made me realise… Anyone could write. Particularly online when there were no gatekeepers like traditional books. So even someone like me, who has bad English and horrendous storytelling skills can actually write something to the masses. 

Thinking back, I really was young and naive.

The most challenging part of being a novelist isn't the lack of time, which believe me, I was always swamped. It wasn't even the social toll that it takes. I had to give up many social events or at least plan ahead many weeks because I stuck to this daily schedule of releasing a chapter a day. 

The most challenging part of being a novelist is… Writer fatigue. 

There were so many days that I just couldn't type a single word. I didn't know how to pen my story. I didn't know how to write my settings. I didn't want to write anything because of how burnt out I was… I lost all my love for Spirit Immortal after consistently writing about it for two years. I couldn't bring myself to the keyboard, distracting myself with youtube videos and other entertainment means.

I would miss the days where my fingers would dance on the keyboard. I remember there was once I wrote a thousand words in an hour, and ten thousand words in a day. However, at my lowest point of my writer's fatigue. I couldn't even write a thousand words a day. 

That's why as the story neared its end, the quality kept dropping. I couldn't bring myself to write two thousand words a day, which was the limit I placed on myself and could only come down to a thousand words. It was heart-wrenching, knowing that I was responsible for the dip in quality in Spirit Immortal, the story that all of you readers spent your valuable time to read. 

I could spin a thousand excuses. Not enough time to write. Meeting up with my friends. Real-life obligations. Real-life work comes first. However, all in all, the main reason why I couldn't write… It's because I was tired. I was falling out of love with Spirit Immortal, even though it was the story that I dreamt into reality. I wanted to keep writing, but the author inside of me didn't exist in the shape that he used to be in.

BUT! I'm glad I faced all of those challenges, particularly with my first long-form novel. I now know what challenges lie ahead of me and I know what I must do from now on. To not just grow as an author, but as a person as well. 

Lessons learnt
Major lesson learnt… Spend more time storyboarding, and less time writing. A chapter a day is all well and good, but if the quality is shit, why bother? So I decided from here on out. I will no longer be releasing daily chapters. Maybe I'll be releasing three or four chapters a week, or even less. I can't tell you for sure right now. This is to prevent burning out once again.

Writing is not equal to authoring. I'd thought that as long as I crafted a good story, I could be a good writer. However, I now know that I'm shit at writing. My English is bad, and my execution is subpar at best. So I will be learning more from other novels to hopefully bolster up my bad writing skills. I will keep evolving, or at least, that's my hope. I will come back a better writer that could flawlessly execute the marvellous stories that I crafted in my head.

The Future of Linodo
Easy. I'm not quitting just because I'd finished Spirit Immortal. I will be continuing my second story, "When the Lilyflower Blooms..." while writing my new standalone book which I had been putting off for the longest time. I won't be returning to Wuxia/Xianxia books because I realise I'm not cut out for this genre. I can't write the 1000-2000 chapters that the undying Chinese Authors can. I can only go for so long before I burn out. 

So Lilyflower will be my comeback in an alternate genre, magical reality. I plan to write Lilyflower for about 100-200 chapters, 300 max. I don't want to keep my story never-ending and open-ended. I just want to make sure that the journey is fun for all of you. 

I won't be writing a Spirit Immortal sequel or any short stories from here on out. If I want to move on, I have to close this chapter called 'Spirit Immortal' from my life. If you guys want, you can privately message me about the theories of Spirit Immortal and I'll be sure to discuss anything that you want. However, for the most part, my creativity will now be focused on Lilyflower and the other stories that I have conceived thus far.

The End
So yeah… That's it for Spirit Immortal! I hope you've enjoyed these two years as much as I did. No matter what I say about this story, no matter how much time I've lost writing this and spending my heart's emotions on it… Spirit Immortal will always be a part of me. It would be a story that I would return to every once in a while to laugh at my young mind and enjoy thinking about forever after.

Thank you for reading Spirit Immortal and may the Immortals bless your soul! :)

Over a million years ago, the first human contracted with the first Spirit. Ever since then, Spirit use has become commonplace. Humans used Spirits to carry items and start fires. Eventually, even start wars. Thousands upon thousands of years past and one day, one human did the impossible. He transcended his mortality and ascended to the realm above.  

In the present day, the Frie Clan was once a great clan of the Himmel empire. However, a devastating battle ten years ago crippled the clan and their numbers dwindled. To make up for their loss, the upper echelons decided to adopt young orphans and nurture them to become a future pillar of the weakened clan. Shin was one of those orphans. 

Although picked up by the Frie Clan, not all is smooth sailing for Shin and the other orphans...

I'm actually a little doubtful there are people still here now... I mean, there's only two Original Works I even want to work on: Those being this and An Adventure Beyond Greatness! ...Though I feel kinda unmotivated when I'm writing by myself and there's no one to talk to. Life's empty these days...

There are times I'm motivated by 'Hey, there might be a comment the next time I post' and then I just wait for it, feel satisfied once I see it, then go write the next chapter because I feel some worth in spending my time writing a story for readers.

I've also tried working on a Gaiaverse RP Amino that has three works as it's foundation (Battlefield Restart, An Adventure Beyond Greatness, and An Identity Beyond Self, that are basically three different variants of Isekai) but don't have any experience in Role-Playing so I don't know how to write the Guidelines. I already made plans to write a fictional universe like the Gaiaverse but there's too little things I am able to do for it right now...

A lot of IRL stuff have been weighing down on my mind recently. I'm not sure if I should be following the trends online to grab readers or just do as I want... Ah, I'm jealous of those who do as they want and don't question it like the characters I create. And also feeling inferior to actual authors...

Anyway, I find myself a better critic rather than writing my own works thanks to my very nitpicking nature acting up whenever I see a good story that only needs some improvements. There are those who I've seen give 'feedback' on stories online but why do I feel they miss the point of being a critic?

I've went around A LOT of websites that have to do with writing and in the end, I found there was one big example of what I mean on closer than I thought Discord. There was a chapter that ticked all my boxes and made me interested as a reader on top of it about its plot but in the end of the day all I saw was a 'feedback' telling this good writer that they 'made a mistake by not explaining the core conflicts and character's personality in-depth'.

This critique really made my head turn as I couldn't understand how they missed the point of the chapter as well as how 'not giving information that isn't needed right now' adds an air of mystique.

I mean, there's a difference between 'narrating' for your audience and 'telling them the details'. The former layers a story with emotions while the latter only make them this 'yep, this is happening now'.

After all, investment doesn't come from knowing the overall situation but the characters who draw intrigue. Question like: 'What are this man's intentions?' And 'Does this person actually mean what they say?' Are what adds subtext that shows that the writer is trusting their reader connect the dots that aren't outright stated in the story.

Of course, there's a difference between holding back information because you yourself don't have the answers and doing it because you have a plan for later. Even Professional Authors like the J.R.R Martin name drop organisations and places before going in-depth once they become relevant later.

What my point is that as long as you have a plan for later, it isn't NECESSARY to give all the information at once. If you summarise the story in the first chapter alone, what will you have for later?

It's like how badly the Cautious Hero Anime could have become if it only repeated its main gimmick without any flare later on (though if your story is based off nothing more than a gimmick then you should keep it as a short story rather than lengthening it for no reason). Instead it actually had a lot more elements that was explored later on.

My reason for going on and on about this is because I feel that there are too many with their critics aiming towards what they want to see later because it's interesting rather than if the written draft is good right now.

I know this sounds similar to what I wrote that time I quite this story which was basically 'I got harassed by people not knowing how to criticise a story properly' but I feel like it's still relevant now.

Well... That's all I got. Be sure to tell me if you guys want a rant or analysis on something and I'll add it to the list of numbered blogs in the Auxiliary Chapters. And you might want to tune in since a plot twist you kinda saw coming but didn't expect to happen will come up in the next few chapters.

The end of the 2nd Arc is near!

(Cover by Darkstar Dust)

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

Epilogue
In the monitor room, Dr. Hans is closely watching Sakuya's movement.
"So, how is it going Dr. Hans?"
"Oh, Mr. Rainer. It's all proceeding smoothly. Just like what we have predicted, she takes on the bait."
"Ooh... Splendid... now, we just have to wait for her to come."
"She seemed to make a significant progress every time. That's pleasing for me."
"With this, I'm getting closer to my goal. Hahaha..."
Mr. Rainer then left the room. When he left, he didn't see the expression that is shown by Dr. Hans.
"Hehehe... there are three of them, yet not single one realized my true motives. Hahaha. They're all brilliant yet stupid."
But, he didn't realize someone hears all of that.
From the small gap between the doors, a pair of eyes is taking a peek. That eye is somehow familiar.
"Just like what Mr. Aaron said. He seemed to have something hidden. I don't know what that is, so I can only keep an eye on him for the time being."
The pair of eyes then disappears in the dark hallway leaving a faint echo. 
Now that's left is for me to find out about where they keep Yuki.








Extra Login
I don't know if you guys really read the extra login, but I'm spending a lot of time to write it up. I want to make you guys understand about the system and the plot. But, it seemed like nobody is reading it... and it gets me into a pretty bad mood... So, for this book extra login how about we open some Q & A corner..?
Q: is this going to be an action based novel?
A: hmm... I don't know... I'm bad at writing the battle scene. I also want to put a lot of romance in here. What do I know is it's going to be somewhat psychological?
Q: where do you get the idea to write about the novel?
A: I'm getting a lot of source for this. Sword art online, log horizon, yureka, the moonlight sculptor, and a bunch of MMORPG game.
Q: when are you going to write more about the other character beside from Kuro and Sakuya?
A: I'm planning to write and tell you about some of the character, but for now I'm focusing at Kuro and Sakuya's arc.
Q: how do you know about the brain stuff and so on? Do you do some research?
A: yes, I'm taking a lot of time to search some information online about the fact. Like the impulse speed, the brain limit, and much more. I want to make it realistic. I want to get you guys thinking... whoa... it's really are possible... Hehehe...
Q: did this game is mainly about farming? Player reaches high level from just killing regular monster. Any quest or something like that?
A: this is what most people asked me... worry not. In this book, they've encountered some quest and some back story.
Q: what about the game customizations? A game where I have to use my real face is so lame. Isn't the selling point to play a game is that you could be someone different?
A: this is an old question from when I wrote the first book. I've taken in the comments and made revision.
Q: how can Kuro be so powerful?
A: it's because he's able to push brain to his limit. As for his high level, he struggle for that. He always determined to be a strong person.
Q: what exactly is Sakuya?
A: Sakuya is an AI that is someday going to be an ultimate AI. That's what Rainer thinks though.

Q: who's snow that's talking to Sakuya?
A: probably most of you can guess it already... snow is an English word for yuki...
Q: why is your grammar and spelling mistakes is a lot? Aren't you proof reading it?
A: this is one of the most common questions... I'm sorry about this but English is not my mother tongue language. I also did the editing myself, so... please give me some consideration... I'll do some revision if it's really that bad. In fact the first book 1st revision is finished...
Q: how long is the story going to be?
A: probably it's going to be around 5 to 8 books. I don't want to spend more time on it because it's only a hobby of mine. I have to move on in my life and face the reality.
Q: what is going attract the reader? The story?
A: yes, it's definitely the story. Because some people are really giving me a harsh comments about the game aspect. They call it boring, and so on... I couldn't argue though...
Q: who is Dr. Hans?
A: he's just some weird person. A lunatic if I should tell you. Sometimes he's calm, sometimes he's crazy... I still have some surprise about his story.
Q: how fast can you write?
A: I write about 10.000 words a day maximum... taking it into consideration one book should be finished in four to five days, but it's impossible... Hahaha...
Q: what RPG game do you play?
A: I played RO, Dota, RF, FLYFF, Dragonica, and a lot more.
Q: who's your favorite's character?
A: Kuro... I'm just a weakling like him... he resembles me a lot... he's someone that I would like to be... I want to be strong like him...
Q: who's Sakuya if you have to compare it to an actress?
A: I haven't even thought about it... I'm always think of her as a yamato nadeshiko... a princess... so, if you could find an Asian girl with a long hair, white skin, and pretty... that's her... Hahaha...
Q: you said that English is not your mother tongue language. So, where do you come from? What language do you use? What's your nationality?
A: I came from Indonesia... I use Indonesian language... my nationality is Indonesian.
Q: why is the story so short for a novel?
A: I was trying to write a light novel, but I don't think I'm doing it right... because of that, I'm just ending each book whenever I fell I have write enough.. Hahaha...
Q: what's your favorite anime?
A: I really like to watched a lot...but if I have to say, the one with a romance in it and less ecchi... for instance, sakurasou no pet no kanojo... hyouka... the highschool boys life something... angel beats... guilty crown.. lelouch the rebellion.. And much more...
Q: what kind of manga do you read?
A: I read all kinds of manga... I usually spent more than 8 hours a day to read manga.
Q: why are you using Japan as the setting?
A: hmm... because I like it... I love their culture... I hope that someday I'll be able to visit the country...
Q: based on the personality, who's the easiest to write about?
A: Hikaru... he's the second main character in this story... he has a bright personality, straight forward... and have a lot of place to grow...
Q: what kind of girl is your dream girl? You write a lot about pretty girl in the book, so which one do you prefer? Sakuya or someone else?
A: as for description only, I like Sakuya the best. Long hair, red eyes, white skin, further more she's wearing a shrine maiden clothes...but for the personality, I like Leona the best... a little bit tsundere... Hahaha...
Q: do you have target that you want to achieve by writing this novel?
A: I don't have anything in particular... it would be great if it could get an anime, manga, and figurines, but most of the time I'm just writing it as a hobby. You could say that it's one of my aspirations.
Q: when you think about the game system, what do you have in your mind?
A: I want it to be a game with medieval setting, like ragnarok... that's one of my favorites game. I'm thinking a lot about the PK system too... sometimes you just want to chop another player head don't you? To make the law, I created the prison... I don't want to have some weird scene in the novel about "H" stuff... although that one scene from Lime is pretty bad... other than that, I want it to be a game with a fun hunting system. But people who read it don't think so...


Q: if you get to play the game in the real life, what class are you going to choose?
A: there's a lot of class that I want to try... I can't decided it... but if I really have to choose one, I'll be a wizard... one of favourite character, se7en is making its debut in the story..
Q: if someone creates the Syder and the game, would you like to play?
A: no... I don't want to... I'll wait until a new version is out... I don't know if it's going to be safe.
Q: how many hours you spend every day to write?
A: it's about three to four hours in total.
Q: what's your hope for the future?
A: I hope I can finish the whole story as fast as I can... Hahaha
Q: do you have any words for your reader?
A: dear reader... I'm sorry for my poor English proficiency... I'm just hoping that you will enjoy my story... please tell your friends about it okay? Hahaha... and thank you for all of your comments... it really helped me a lot... as for the question I've answered some of it in here... see you guys on the next volume...

The story is 5-6 years old and it was written when I first start writing, there will be some mistakes here and there but it might show you an idea on how much I've improved XD~
The story is completed since it was a short 100k words novel~ and it was done in a week~ yeay!

Don’t you think that life in this world is a little bit boring? People talks to someone they know every day, pretending that they are friends. In reality they are doing such things just for their own convenience. Tell to each other that they are friends.  Just for a sole reason, so they can take advantage from the other party.
 
I realized these things since I entered high school. It is true that I was an introvert. I was not an outgoing person, but I can survive in the community. I prefer reading book and playing games, rather than exercising or doing outdoor sports. I didn’t talk much, only when I needed to. But maybe that’s why they decided to pick on me.

One day I was bullied by my upperclassmen. My best friend was at the scene. I called out to him, asking for help. But he just passes by like I was some stranger that he met at the road. The next day at school he said that he was sorry, because there is nothing that he can do. 

We have been spending times together since middle school. Hanging out together, doing homework, cheat our way out trough exams, and playing games together. We are close. Or so I thought. So this is how the community works. 

People in this world, they are reeks of evil. They only care about their self. Money and power is what they seek. They are a hypocrite if they said they are doing charity because of love. They are doing it so people will have better opinion about them. This world has rotten too much. I don’t have the power to change this world. I never even dream about changing this world.

So what should I do? I don’t have any other place to go. I wander around aimlessly until I stop by a large screen TV in front of a shopping mall.

 “Behold the new era of gaming. With Syder (synapse reader) implemented on the system, Rebirth Online will be the first VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) in the world. The pre-order sales have gone through 500,000 units and will be shipped all around the world tomorrow, along with the first launch of the server. People who don’t apply for the pre-order can buy them tomorrow at FFAID Corporation building in Akihabara at 7:00am. Luckily, we have Dr. Hans Schneider here with us; please let us welcome the person that invented the Syder, as our guest for the interview tonight.” Said the beautiful newswoman on the TV enthusiastically.

“Dr. Hans, tell me about the Syder. Isn’t it just recently invented and haven’t been properly accepted by various medical organization around the world? Even the rumor says that it possess a threat to the brain.” the newswoman asking with full of curiosity.

“The WHO (World Health Organization) already acknowledges it as a safe and usable product. Otherwise we may not be able to sell it. The Syder itself doesn’t do anything to the brain so it couldn’t damage it. As the name implies, Syder is a synapse reader. Our five senses, touch, sight, hearing, taste, smell even our sense to temperature, pain, balance, time, and kinesthetic is controlled by the brain. This starts when a neuron receives an impulse and they transmitted it to the brain. They transmitted it in a form of electricity trough a connective tissue named synapse which connects one neuron to the other neuron. When this electricity processed in the brain, we often read it as a brain wave. So Syder makes it possible for us to read and send images to the brain of the virtual world. ” explain Dr. Hans who seemed can’t stop talking.

This is it. This is the answer to my entire question. I just have to run away to another world. I just have to run away to that world.


Reminded by Galaxy, Zhang Zian remembered the matter of that book. Having no time to bicker with Famous, he quickly extended his neck and secretly glanced at the untitled book.
Pi did not seem to mind everyone looking at the content of the untitled book. Instead, it proudly gestured to Galaxy and yelled, "Eeek!"
Unexpectedly but reasonably, Zhang Zian saw that the untitled book was blank. It was a wordless book. Although he had thought of this possibility before, he was still discouraged.
But if it was blank, why did Galaxy appear to be able to read this untitled book?
Lying before the untitled book, Galaxy was staring intently at the book with its eyes that were flashing with silver-gray light. While reading the book, Galaxy praised, "Meow! It's so interesting!"
"Eeek!"
Pi pointed at the blank page and let Galaxy look at it. Galaxy nodded, as if there was a wonderful paragraph on that page.
Zhang Zian wondered if he was looking at the book from the wrong angle.  He walked over and looked at the page from above, but it was still blank.
"Famous, can you see the words on the book?" He turned to ask Famous.
Famous looked down and said with a look of embarrassment, "Is there any word in this book? Isn't it blank?"
Zhang Zian really wanted to embrace Famous, because he was not the only one who could not see the words in the book. However, Famous blinked and said, "It seems like there are indeed words in the book. But they are too vague, and I can't see them clearly..."
Damn it!
Could those words only be viewed by the elves? But why did the words seem so vague to Famous?
"Is there any word in the book, Galaxy?" Zhang Zian asked.
"Meow! There are so many words! It's a fantastic story!" Galaxy nodded excitedly.

"Are those words clear?" he asked again.
Galaxy nodded again. "Very clear!"
Famous started to doubt itself. Why did the words seem so vague to its eyes?
"Eeek!"
Pi flipped the page and pointed to another seemingly blank page and made Galaxy look at it.
"Meow! This is even better!" Galaxy exclaimed again and read the book with relish.
Zhang Zian was really irritated by the feeling that others could see something that he could not. If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Zian trusted Galaxy, he would have definitely thought that Pi united with Galaxy to trick him deliberately. 
Pi flipped the pages swiftly and pointed to those pages for Galaxy, who exclaimed continuously at every new page. Zhang Zian and Famous watched them helplessly. 
Soon, Zhang Zian discovered a bizarre thing. The thicknesses of the pages of the left and right side of the book that was spread out on the floor had not changed. No matter how many pages Pi had turned, the pages on the right side of the book would not decrease, and the pages on the left side would not increase either. 
Pi was indeed turning pages rather than performing magic. From the look of Galaxy, the stories on each page were different.
The number of pages in the untitled book seemed to be infinite.
To be honest, Zhang Zian had expected that this book contained an infinite number of pages, otherwise, the untitled book would not be a book about life, the universe, and everything else.
"Meow!"
Just when Pi was about to turn a page, Galaxy suddenly extended a paw, and pressed the current page.
"Eeek?"
Pi revealed a puzzled expression, staring at Galaxy blankly. It did not know why Galaxy suddenly stopped it from turning pages.
"Meow! Galaxy likes this story the most," Galaxy said solemnly.

"Eeek!"
Pi nodded pleasantly, patted its chest, and gestured that it also liked the story.
"What story?" Zhang Zian asked shyly.
Famous, who was also curious about the story, had almost buried its head into the book, but the words in the book were too vague for Famous.
"Eeek!"
Pi pointed at Zhang Zian and grinned.
Perplexed, Zhang Zian touched his face.  "Is there something on my face?"
"Meow! Zian, you have read this story!" Galaxy did not seem to be joking.
Have I  read this story? I have read so many stories since childhood. How do I know which story you are referring to? thought Zhang Zian. However, Galaxy had no intention of explaining further. 
"Meow!" Galaxy tilted its head and said to Pi, "Pi, write it out!"
"Eeek?"
Pi was stunned, pointing at its own chest.
"Meow! Pi, you have read many books, haven't you?" Galaxy said. "You have read more books than anyone of us."
Pi nodded bashfully.
Galaxy added, "Meow! Pi, aren't you practicing typing in Chinese?"
Galaxy looked at the newspaper that Pi used as a template for typing. "Pi, rather than repeating the stories of someone else, why don't you type this story? Galaxy wants to read this story. Meow!"
Pi lowered its head hesitantly. Its empty hand was drawing circles nervously on the floor. 
"Meow! Pi, Galaxy believes that you can do it!"
Galaxy continued encouraging Pi, and it tilted its head to consult Zhang Zian's opinion. "Zian, don't you think so?"
Zhang Zian couldn't understand what they were saying. He just managed to laugh, "Well... I think so, too. I really want to read this story."

His words were not entirely false. After all, the dialogue between Galaxy and Pi had roused his interest. He really wanted to read the story that had fascinated Galaxy and Pi.
"Meow! Famous, what about you?" Galaxy asked Famous.
Famous also nodded curiously, "Pi, I will support you."
"Meow! Pi, have you heard it? Everyone will support you. Fina, Snowy Lionet, Old Time Tea, and Richard will certainly support you. Everyone wants to read this story!"
Galaxy seldom said such a long sentence, which had shown the importance that Galaxy attached to this matter.
"Eeek?"
Pi looked at Galaxy, Zhang Zian, and Famous, and then pointed to itself, meaning: Can I do it?
"Meow! Sure, you can!" Galaxy nodded vigorously.
Zhang Zian also echoed, "Yes, Pi, if you don't try it, how can you know that you can't? You may or may not succeed. But if you don't try it, you will never know the answer."
Pi bowed its head. When it lifted its head again, there seemed to be more implication contained in its eyes. 
It jumped on the swivel chair and typed in the Word document: I want to write a novel.
Zhang Zian was slightly surprised, but he immediately said, "Sure, go ahead."
Pi typed: It is an online novel. 
Zhang Ian smiled with excitement. "Writing an online novel… Let me tell you what kind of online novels will become easily popular. You can write such a story: In the Handsome Continent, the handsome guys are the best. The Hottie Zhang Zian accidentally landed on the Handsome Continent, and then he beat all the specially privileged people and won the hearts of the beautiful girls..."
Before Zhang Zian finished his words, Pi firmly waved its hand and interrupted him. It erased the draft in the Word document and solemnly typed a few words—Pet King—as the title.


1. Download a suspicious game
2. Catch a few magical pets as partners
3. Go through interesting daily routines and lead the pet shop to a whole new level

Hello Reader/Viewer Webnovel.




First, about the title of this Auxiliary Chapters, I want to write Novel instead Book, but after repeatedly voicing out, the word 'Book' seem better as the title for this Chapters.




This Book/Novel is originally created by me, but of course not purely everything is original, since I'm using some of other Novel/Book Concept, but the story is pure from my imagination and idea. the Concept like Cultivator, Qi, Zombie, Transmigration, OP MC, Shameless MC and other similar thing to other Novel/Book just merely about the concept, and I will try as much as I can to create Original Story around with it.






How came I'm run into this kind of Story?
I'm usually reading other Novel like Wuxia and other similar genre at first time I got into Online Novel World, and it's spread to other genre. And that lead to where I'm thinking to write about Cultivator and Zombie combination that I'm sure the Concept it's already exist out there, but what if the MC is Overpowered but not Overpowered? Maybe there already one exist, maybe not, but I will make sure the story is really different than other. This is where the Idea lead me to try writing/creating this story.






Why you Create/Write a Novel at Webnovel?
firstly, of course because Money, who didn't like about money? but after observing Webnovel for a long time, I'm not confidence that my story can be good enough to earn a little bit money from it, but still I wanna try first. I'm really have many Idea about story that I want to write/create. So, this will be my first story here on Webnovel and in the future if chance is coming I will try write more with, of course different genre, different story and different concept. [to the truth is, this is the Second novel that I wrote, the first one already here on Inkstone but I got stuck since the novel need more research and knowledge, it's only exist on my physical book first]






What this Auxiliary Chapters?
I'm really confused too, how to use this chapter. But I decided to make auxiliary chapters as Introduction, not just about the Novel itself. so the 'Author Thought' on Chapter will only be used for more explanation about the chapter itself or other notice.






About Author?
Since this is the first novel I wrote, and I'm not Native English speaker so there will be some grammar that wrong, word that not supposed to be there and here and I hope you all can help me with it, to correct me if I made a mistake so that I can improve my writing and grammar. And to still read it with my lack of ability, I'm only can say Thank You!


A little bit information about the background world of this novel/story. the World still have the same size like Earth, but with different topography map. for basic thing everything is the same like we usually encounter in our real life. I'm just try to change a few thing so that it will be slightly different.
--------------------------------------------------------
I WANT ENTER WRITING CONTEST WITH THIS NOVEL. SO I WILL RE UPLOAD ALL THE CHAPTER AND MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENT/FIXING TO THE STORY.
THANK YOU, HOPE YOU CAN STILL FOLLOW THIS NOVEL LATER ON.
KINDLY ASKING YOU FOR SUPPORT.

"Hello! My name is Lisa! What is yours?" Asked an eight year old Lisa.
"Sophie", replied the eight year old Sophie.
"Why are you alone? Why are you not playing with everyone else?" Asked Lisa.
"They're loud".

Lisa giggled then asked, "am I loud?"
"Yes. Please leave me alone", replied Sophie coldly.
"That's boring. What are you drawing?"
"Roses".
"Wow, they're so pretty. You're a good drawer", smiled Lisa.
"Thanks".
"Can you draw lilies?" 
"I haven't tried drawing lilies before but I can try".

Sophie then flipped to a new page in her sketch book and started to draw some lilies. Once she had finished Lisa gasped then said, "you're an amazing drawer!"
"Of course I am. I have been drawing since I was a baby", said Sophie with high confidence.
Lisa giggled again and said, "and I have been reading since I was a baby too".

Lisa then ran to her bag and got out a thick chapter book aimed towards young adults. Sophie just showed a shocked face and said, "you can read a book like that!"
"Yes. Is something wrong?" Asked Lisa.
'Who is she?' Thought Sophie. "Do you know what you are reading about?" Asked Sophie.
"Yes. It's about a girl who travels through time and meets all these important people from the past. It's a really good book you should read it too", answered Lisa.
'No normal eight year old can read that!' Thought Sophie while showing an incredulous look.
"Lisa, your grandparents are here to pick you up for your appointment", said the teacher.
"Lisa there you are!" Said Nathaniel McMillan as he hugged Lisa.

As Sophie watched Lisa talk with her grandmother while they waited for her grandfather to finish something, Sophie realised Lisa was using much more advanced words which Sophie had no idea what they meant. 'Who is she! If I read books like those can I use those words like her?' Thought Sophie as she watched with shock.

Because of this Sophie started reading more and Lisa and her created a great friendship while drawing and reading.

Anyway back to their eight year old days.

"Guys Sophie actually came out to play!" Shouted Jackson.
"I thought she died", said one of the other kids.

The kids started to laugh out loud as Sophie clenched her fists then said, "at least I have talent".
"Hey you-".
"Come on it's the truth", said Jackson while playfully punching the other kid.
"Hey are you saying I don't have talent!"
"Yep", smiled Jackson.

As Sophie watched Jackson interact with others friendly and have fun, she felt longing then while they were deciding who was going to be the tagger in a game of tag, Sophie asked, "can I join?"
"Sure!" Smiled Jackson.

While they were playing Sophie then remembered Jackson was the kid who could sing really well. He had actually beaten the year 8s (12 year olds) in the school's singing competition. 'Who are these people! I really need to get good at art if I want to be on the same level as them! I might not be able to sing but I might be able to be friendly like Jackson if I work hard. Then I can get on the same level as Lisa and Jackson! Those overpowered people. A freaking genius and an unreal singer! Mummy why couldn't you make me like them', thought Sophie.

[AN: Poor Sophie. Well hey she got what she wished for in the end so]

Sophie started getting art lessons, she started studying and by the time she had cached up with them, Jackson started singing publicly and Lisa started helping her dad's company.

'Why is it always me?!' Thought a 12 year old Sophie. She then decided to start uploading her artwork online. Later on when she had gained more popularity she started selling them.

The 14 year old Sophie showed a victory smile as she received one of the best awards you can get for her art. 'We are finally on the same level', thought Sophie triumphantly.

-When Jackson and Lisa was seven years old-

Since it was a sunny day little Lisa decided to wander around the school and stumbled onto a secluded area. Since it was shady there Lisa took off her sunhat and thought, 'this could be my new hangout place. I can come here if I forget my hat and can read peacefully'.

[AN: No hat no play... In NZ most primary schools make it so you have to wear a hat in terms 1 and 4]

Lisa returned there the next day because her mother had put her hair into a bun so she couldn't wear her sunhat properly. However when Lisa had got there a boy was there instead. He was singing beautifully to a song Lisa remembered hearing on the radio.

The secluded place was near out of bounds and was far from the playgrounds or anything interesting, so no one was nearby except for Lisa.

When the boy stopped singing Lisa clapped her hands and said, "that was awesome! You have a great voice!"
The boy turned around and turned bright red. "Y-you heard m-me?"
"Yeah. You're really good at singing", replied Lisa.
"Thank you", said Jackson.
"Why are you singing here?"
"... Because I want to".
"Are you sure? Is it because you didn't want anyone to hear you?"
Jackson turned bright red and Lisa said, "you shouldn't be shy or embarrassed about your singing. It is amazing! You should show everyone your voice!"
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"I don't know..."
"I have an idea. How about for now why don't you practice in front of me and later we can show it to everyone else".
"Okay!"

Jackson then started singing. His dream since he was young had always been singing. He loved hearing and singing with his grandmother who he was really close with, but when he was four years old his grandmother had passed away. To cope with it and to remember her he sang, it made him happy. He loved to perform in front of his family but when it came to his classmates he was incredibly shy, so he was dubbed the 'Shy Kid'. However inside behind his shy exterior he was outgoing and loved to perform, but he was scared his classmates would judge him.

When the next day had come Lisa secretly brought along her mum's phone. Christine was incredibly confused when Lisa had asked for it in the morning, but she still gave it to her since she trusted her intelligent daughter.

When Jackson started singing, Lisa secretly recorded it and the next morning she played it out loud; surprising her classmates. "Wow is that really Jackson?" Asked a girl.
"Yep! He's really good at singing but he's just shy!" Answered Lisa.

While Lisa was saying that Jackson had entered the classroom to be bombarded by his classmates. 

Later on Jackson got rid of his shy exterior and everyone in his class knew him as the really friendly and awesome singer.

One year after that a singing competition was coming up in the school. Everyone told him to participate, but Jackson still wasn't sure about performing towards a large crowd.

"Lisa should I go?" Asked Jackson.
"You should definitely participate. Everyone in the audience will think you're spectacular", said Lisa while her nose was buried in a book.
"What?"
Lisa closed her book then said, "let's write a song".
"What?!" Shouted Jackson.
"You want to be a professional singer in the future right? Why not start practicing now".
"I can't write songs though".
"I can help you out. Come one let's go to our secret hangout and start writing".

Henceforth they started writing, and once the day of the competition came.... Lisa decided to blindfold Jackson since he was still way too nervous to go on stage.

"K-kia ora e-everyone...", said Jackson.

{Kia ora = hello in te reo, one of the official NZ languages} 

While he was introducing himself, Lisa signaled the class and they all shouted their support for Jackson. When he heard his classmates support he felt more confident.

"My name is Jackson, and I am from class xx. Today I will be singing a sing I wrote with my friend", said Jackson as he prepared himself.

When he started singing he gained more confidence when he had heard the cheers, so much to the point when he took off the blindfold, and he was immediately filled up with (too much) energy. He sang and did some cute moves and ended up winning the competition. 

While the older competitors doubted their capability to sing, Jackson's smile beamed as he heard all the compliments. He started performing more, and now he's performing in stadiums so hey he succeeded.

-Before attending WRC, at the Tael's home-

"I still can't believe you got Jackson to go up on stage with a blindfold. What if he had fell or tripped over something", said Sophie.
"If it works it works. He just had to be smart enough to not walk around on stage while wearing a blindfold", replied Lisa.
"Lisa are you going to write a new song for me or what? All you have been doing is talking and reading", whined Jackson.
"Nothing is coming to my head", answered Lisa.
"That's what you always say, but you have a million ideas in your head but you're too lazy to think of lyrics to go with them!" Shouted Jackson.
"Stop shouting in my house. Fine then let's start then Jay".

'Jackson is still loud and Lisa is still her... Meh, let's just finish painting so I can relax for a few more days otherwise my agent will bug me again', thought Sophie as she continued to paint away.  

-Present day-

It was Monday morning, 5 am and Lisa was writing lyrics for Jackson's new song. The albums's theme was time so there were songs with the theme of travelling through time, not caring about the time and continuing to have fun, blah blah blah.

Lisa was thinking of making the song she was writing a love one, so she decided to make the song about how a relationship has grown throughout time.

"Let's see, what should the first verse be..."

Lisa then got out the audio Jackson wanted her to write the lyrics to. She put on her earphones and listened to the melody which was quite upbeat at the chorus, but more calm during the verses and slow at the bridge. 

After a while of thinking Lisa could only come up with,

"Won't you look at that
So much we've done, so much we've been through 
But we're still hanging close 
First time we met, never thought that
It would end up like this
Oh look at how the time has flown by
Just like how you've flied high
While I'm holdin your hand, never saying goodbye".

'Ugh I can't think of anything else. Oh well I'll just think of something else and change it later', thought Lisa as she tossed her song book onto her bookshelf.

She went onto her insta account to be flooded with notifications. 'What in the world has been going on while I've been asleep?' Thought Lisa.

When she saw what it was she felt like screaming and throwing her phone out the window.  'Crap, why did I let Edward do that yesterday?! Now there's pictures online and it's absolute chaos! For goodness sake people Edward and I aren't dating', thought Lisa.

Lisa immediately called Edward for him to pick it up in a tired voice. "Hello", said Edward.
"Edward wake up and look online", said Lisa.

Edward was full of energy and fear when he had heard Lisa. 'Don't tell me something happened last night', thought Edward as he looked online.

When he saw the pictures he realised he shouldn't have acted like a baby with Lisa when in public. He then quickly said, "Lisa... What should we do? These pictures make us look way too suspicious".
"Well duh. You do realise how much trouble I'm in though. While majority ship us, there are still some crazy fans of yours who will not like this. Remember that time one fan asked you to sign a book with their blood?! I'm too young to die!"
"Calm down Lisa it's still morning. I can get someone to look after you-".
"I don't need a nanny or security guard or something like that. We just need to find a good solution to this".
"Well either way there is no doubt we look like a couple with these photos. If we deny them people might think we're in a secret relationship, and in the end some jealous fans will attack you no matter what, even if everything is cleared".
"For f*** sake. I can't think of anything except for making it seem like as if we're having a secret relationship, but it's a secret because we're scared I might get attacked for being your girlfriend and it's super sad for us. Making it so others pity us and take care of the crazy fans. However if we were to go with that plan we would have to have a fake relationship".
"What's wrong with that?"
"Huh?"
"Let's just have a pretend relationship then. We're both good at acting so I'm sure we could pull this off. Plus it could make us going to the company less suspicious since it makes us look like as if we're helping our family together, because we're good kids and a couple. Less rumors and trouble".
"... I don't know".
"We already spend a lot of time together".
"... Let's try it for now then. Make it seem like as if we're trying to hide our relationship and see how it goes".
"Got it, bye then".
"...Bye".

Edward smiled triumphantly at the sudden surprise thrown at him while Lisa buried her head in a pillow. 'A fake relationship with Edward... Why am I happy and annoyed at the same time? It couldn't be.... Could it?' Thought Lisa.

"Ugh".

To distract herself Lisa continued to write the new chapter for her webnovel. Tyler was currently on trial as his status as a Storyteller was close to being revoked. However Stacy stormed in and turned the tables and persuaded the judges to let Tyler continue and that he would learn and grow. After all he was still new and that was his first job. Stacy also said that the story wasn't over yet and that it was just the beginning. What had happened before was just the baby story which is allowed. 

Some Storytellers go to extra lengths and create a baby story, where they cultivate the main character's abilities, so it is ready for the main story. A baby story is where the main character first start out, then go on a mini story/adventure to cultivate their abilities while going through many trials and learn new things. This is to prepare for the main story where the main character already knows a lot and has already had a lot of experience. The plot in the main story is much deeper and intricate than one from a baby story

It is time consuming though, and incredibly difficult since after creating a baby story, the Storyteller must make the main story more detailed and intricate (how much of this depends on the genre of the story they are creating). They must also make the baby story not too simple and not too deep, since the baby story cannot outshine the main story, and the main story can not look like a sequel/second story after the baby story. 

The baby story can not be too simple since it shows the beginnings of the main character and how they have grown in power. It must also show what the main character has been through in order to get to the stage they are in, in the main story.

Those are the rules in the Storyteller world. Due to it only elite Storytellers create baby stories, however since Stacy wanted to keep things simple and Tyler wanted to make things more intricate, they ended up creating a baby story.

So in the end Tyler was able to keep his job and they got back to work.

Lisa patted herself on the back at her work, to then realised she had written more than usual. Oh well an extra treat for the readers. 

However Lisa decided that in the story it was time to add in some extra Storytellers and show the other light and dark jobs there are, so Lisa decided to make it so Stacy and Tyler waited in the Main World for two years to have passed in the Story World for there to be a gap between the baby story and main story. Meaning they would have 24 days in the main world to plan for the main story, along with getting readers to know more of the way things work in the Main World.

While it was risky Lisa decided to include parts of her life into her webnovel for this part, since it was interesting. She would just have to change quite a bit.

Meanwhile Edward was having breakfast and for once his whole family was at the dining table. Edward talked about his and Lisa's plan which created an ecstatic mother, a father with bright eyes and a worried brother. He didn't want to be killed by Charles.

Before leaving to school Lisa informed her family of what was going on, then she made her way to school, and prepared herself. However for some reason she felt excited to see Edward and act with him. Her heart was pounding harder than usual, and Lisa knew why. She didn't feel ready for a relationship though, but at the same time she really wanted one.

15 year old Lisa Tael has a dream of becoming an author so she uploads webnovels online, in the hopes of getting a book published. 

In order for a good record, to get connections, a good education and a bit of drama, she gets a scholarship to a prestigious school where she meets all kinds of people, including geniuses, rich brats, the next CEO of a company, artists, allies and enemies. 

Despite Lisa's innocent look and seemingly weak type of person, she is actually... Quite vicious. If someone pisses her off she turns them into a villainous character in front of everyone, if there is someone she likes she turns them into a good character. Not only does she like to write stories online she also likes to make drama/stories in real life by creating troubles, then solutions and watching from the sidelines. However sometimes she can't help but show herself.

This attracts the attention of Edward Avington, a popular, rich author who happens to be Lisa's rival, tutor and friend? Only some knows what he's thinking, but he sure is thinking of someone. They work together and help each other out by exchanging information and knowledge. 

Anyway as Lisa ventures further into her school life things become more interesting and hectic as she tries to become a published author, become number 1 in intellect at her school, and create interesting stories at the same time while also involving herself in a lot of business along with participating in things she thought would never happen. 

However her family hides a secret from her, many things happen behind her back, and when it is all revealed...

Well what's going to happen? Will she succeed or will she fail? Will she be angry or happy when the truth is revealed, and will she fall in love with Edward? Only the author knows what's going to happen next.

(Contains swearing and violence, not that much when the main character is 15, arc 1, but a lot when she is 16, arc 2)

Hey everyone! Welcome to my first Q&A, and let's not waste time, but get right to it! 

1. JinxXaphyre. Love the story and look forward to every chapter, always hoping for a mass release lol. my question is, why a fox? 
Thanks! And at the time, I had stumbled upon a translated novel about a fox consort which had around ten chapters, but in those ten a love triangle was already being introduced, and I was quite unhappy with that development. Thus, I picked the idea of a girl turned into a fox, chose a baby fennec as her form since they're just the cutest, and here we are ^^

2. Andrwood. I will not ask the original question. Why did you start writing a novel? What about other novels? You will write something after the end of this story. 
The answer to the first question is really simple - I LOVE writing. I started writing when I was around ten. First it was in my notebooks, then I stopped around the end of middle school, then began again at the end of high school but this time online, then stopped again, then restarted it with Fox Life. It's a long story, lol, and one wrought with trouble. 
I have two other novels online under another name - DarkSun in rrl. Flight of Icarus is my self-proclaimed masterpiece, Dream Chaser had a good premise, while Stories of the Wide World is just oneshots I wrote at some point in time. Here's a link for anyone interested: https://www.royalroad.com/profile/346/fictions
What concerns future, I will certainly be writing something, but as to what, who knows. I have ideas for various different stories - some of them deal with Virtual Reality, some with witches, some with surviving in an apocalypse, and some more cliche and simple ones like a contractual marriage or finding a stray cat who turns out to be a shapeshifter. Or maybe even something else. It all depends on what I'll be interested in the most once I finish Fox Life xD

3. Deviii. I want to ask if you will ever explain the reason, in the coming chapters that what exactly was the reason of her turning into a fox.. as in a hypothesis about it? 
I can't say it here, but yes, it will be explained. This is what the next arc will be all about. 

4. MilkOfCow. Easily my favorite book on the app - I was curious what kind of prewriting do you use? 
Thanks, and haha… I'm not really good with this stage of novel writing. I started Fox Life on a whim, truth be told. Some twenty chapters in, however, I realized that it couldn't work like that and made an outline. Some fifty chapters later, I decided I didn't like it much and stopped following every detail of it. Currently, I have an idea for an overarching plot, like currently it's Gale and Elise's mini-arc while the major arc is still Dioscuri being in trouble which started some time ago. Besides that, I'm writing chapters on a day-to-day basis, thinking up an idea for the next day before going to sleep and writing it down in the morning before I need to leave for classes. 

5.Nekonyan. Where's Lucifer? 
He's lying around wherever he finds it comfortable and hiding from people. He doesn't feel happy with half his side being shaved off and is waiting for it to grow back. 

6. Yadi15. A Q&A yay! I would like to know what was your inspiration? 
Hey! And as I mentioned before, part of it was me not being happy how almost every romance novel contained a love triangle while the other half was just me trying to test myself. I've never tried writing a romance before, and I wanted to see how it goes. To not make it too hard on myself, I chose a comparably simple setting of a rich CEO and an easy-going girl of common lineage, but since I'm addicted to fantasy, I just had to spice it up somehow. And that's how Iris ended up as a fox. 
Oh! I might as well mention a random tidbit. I once had a cat, and its name was Iris. She was a really smart little devil. 

And with that, the Q&A is over. Hope you're satisfied with all the answers, and if you have something more you want to ask, you can find me on discord https://discord.gg/ZegeFhH or just write a comment here. 

Thanks for reading and voting! You're all awesome ^^

Iris didn’t think much of her life until one day she found herself in the body of a baby fox. Before she could wrap her head around it, she was bullied by a kid and saved by a handsome stranger. It was almost like a fairy tale ending, just why is she still a fox?! Is there like a certain duration or will she need to stay like this forever? No way!

[Disclaimer the one who wrote this chapter is the author Sinbi]

Sitting in front of his computer, a sad but sweet song in Korean could be heard throughout the quiet room.

While contemplating between whether or not SinBi wanted to play games or write, a notification suddenly surfaced on Discord.[1]

"DING!"

"Let's play some normals!"[2]

Seeing the message sent by his friend, SinBi replied with one word.

"Later!"

After replying, SinBi tabbed out of Discord onto Google Chrome, preparing to write. However, the situation hadn't ended as he immediately heard a series of 'dings.'

Opening Discord once again, words continuously flooded his screen causing SinBi to stare in stupefaction.

"Now!"

"Now!"

"Play now!"

"You're not busy at all!!"

Relenting, SinBi didn't know whether to cry or not. "Okay, just 1-2 games, I really have something to do!" Immediately sending an angry emoji[3] afterwards.

Logging into League of Legends, SinBi accepted the party invite that he had received upon going online.

Joining the party, he saw 3 of his other friends also online while deciding to join their VC.[4]

"Yo, Yo, Yo!" Entering the call, SinBi promptly greeted his friends while calling his role decisively. 

"Top Lane!"

"Yeah, yeah, we already knew you were gonna go top."

After sorting out their roles, the party of 5 started a match while everyone talked about who's gonna carry or who's gonna be feeding.[5]

SinBi was quiet though because he was trying to play his KPOP on the Rhythm Bot.

As the bot joined and started playing his playlist, his friends immediately whined. "Bro...don't you have any Chinese songs to play? Why is it always KPOP that you're so obsessed with?"

"What, play songs I can understand please! English!!"

"If you wanna listen to your songs so bad, just queue it up, hmph." Not caring about their remarks at all, SinBi focused on the game.

"Camille is teleporting bot, I'm following, continue fighting, we can 3v3."

"Their jungler is in the river, I can come but I'll be late." SinBi's friend A immediately called out.

"Sivir, Sivir, no flash!"

"I have ult, keep chasing."

"Okay stunning in 3, 2, 1!"

One player after another fell on the enemy team by SinBi's team. "Okay, we win! GG!"[6]

Finishing his game SinBi wanted to log off, telling his friends that he had to do something. 

"Okay, that's it for me, cya."

But his friends didn't let him off the hook. "What? You're leaving after we won? Haven't you heard of the phrase 'continue if you're winning?' before?"

"But…" SinBi had no idea what he was going to say as he already knew that he couldn't go write with his friends persuasions. And what was this 'continue if you're winning' phrase? What utter nonsense! Did he not hear of the phrase 'quit while you're ahead' before?!

Okay, letting out a slight chuckle, SinBi had to admit that his phrase was pretty nonsensical too…

"Fine…" Giving in once more, he continued to play.

What was meant to be one game that took about 40 minutes prolonged to hours after hours.

Finally after who knows how long, all his friends had to go as SinBi stretched his body while checking the time. 

10:00PM

". . ." Scratching his eye while blinking a couple more times, SinBi made sure that he was reading the clock correctly.

"Well...crap." It's already this late?!?!

He still had to write, shower, brush his teeth and do some studying…

"Ugh...I'll just write 2 chapters tomorrow. It's fine."

Walking up his stairs to the restroom, SinBi took a shower, brushing his teeth afterwards before studying a bit, becoming sleepy extremely quickly.

Going onto his bed, SinBi quickly dozed off dreaming a bit.

DING DING DING DING

Loud sounds of sirens reverberated through SinBi's room. 

Waking him up, he continued to lay on his bed with his eyes closed while trying to reach and find his phone. 

After stumbling around for a bit, SinBi finally managed to open his phone and shut the alarm off before sleeping again. 

Yet after another 5 minutes, the same type of sounds could be heard once again. 

DING DING DING DING

"Annoying…" Muttering in a soft voice, SinBi finally got up and took a quick shower before scrolling through the notifications on his phone.

This was what he did every day as soon as he woke up, except sometimes he would browse his phone before taking a shower.

"Novel has been updated…"

"Novel has been updated…"

Message from Discord: "Hey are you awake?"

"Webcomic has been updated…"

Clearing it all, he decided to read the newly updated chapters of the novels he was currently reading.

Finishing them all, SinBi played his KPOP playlist once again, learning from his previous mistake not to show himself online on Discord so his friends wouldn't get him to play again. "I have to write no matter what today…"

Opening up Google Docs, SinBi re-read his previous chapter to jog his memory before writing the next one.

Except, he didn't know where to start…

Starting off a new chapter was always confusing for him, questions surfaced on his mind as he wondered how he could go about it.

Pondering for a bit, SinBi thought of a pretty emotional idea for his main character as he started writing.

However once he got into it, SinBi became unsatisfied, erasing the words he wrote down while starting over again.

He does this multiple times and sometimes more than he should, but SinBi would always be satisfied with his writing after a while.

Getting more in-depth into his writing, SinBi did some research over the fan-sites, wikiapedia[7] and digging through old chapters of the original novel to make sure that there were no loopholes with his fan-fiction.

Speaking of this, SinBi didn't understand the hate with fan-fictions at all!

Were fan-fictions not novels? Just because they weren't original ideas doesn't mean that the amount of work placed into writing one was easy. 

Sure there were some novels that weren't up to par, but he knew that his was very good!

He not only spent a long time thinking and writing about his ideas, he also takes a long time thinking of new names for characters, setup and background of how his story was gonna be different while also researching and digging through the original novel's chapters so some of the ideas didn't coincide and make loopholes that were confusing to the readers…

At times, reading some of the original novel's on WebNovel, SinBi would think to himself that he puts way more work than some authors who are writing their own original story…

Sometimes, the truth may not be what it seems.

Just because someone was good or talented at something doesn't designate them as a genius or prodigy…

You wouldn't know how much effort and work they put in behind the scenes...you should always recognize them for their hard work and look beyond the conclusions that you jump to.

Although sometimes they may be true, but most of the times, the truth can oftentimes be shocking.

"Don't lose track of a gem, jumping to glitter."

...…..

Hey guys! SinBi, Rwgey, or Rum here! If you guys don't know me from the Webnovel Discords, I am the author of a fan-fiction novel called 'The Queen's Avatar.'

If you're into video games, I highly recommend the novel!! And maybe you can stop by my novel too. :)

Now with that said, this was the first time I was writing something like this so I hope you guys can bear with the awkward transitions between the third person view.

Still I hope you guys enjoyed my perspective in writing and what I think about the Webnovel community.
