I feel lazy but at the same time bored, thus, just going to select from the comments of each chapter on what to write on the following chapter. I'd just start a topic. Then if the story deviates from the ongoing topic, I'd introduce a new topic. Not a "pro" author, just a really bored person that actually wants to write something but don't know how.

*did write something but was too embarrassed by it.... enough not to show it... thanks for the comments tho.

Greetings to all my readers, I wish to say something to you.

Firstly, I want to apologise to all of you. All those who have found this fanfic to be enjoyable, I truly apologise to you for not so inconsistent in writing the chapters of this fanfic or responding to you all. There have been multiple reasons for why I was inconsistent but it doesn't change the fact. I hope you forgive me.

Honestly speaking, I had started writing this fanfic with nothing concrete in my mind. I was just fed up of fanfic in those days that I felt that I must write something better than fanfics with those pussy main characters and all. I didn't expect you all to like this much, however, much can be contributed to the fact that it was one of the first Against the Gods Fanfic here. Nevertheless, I am very glad for all the support you have shown me.

Even before I had started writing this fanfic, I had been writing a novel. It isn't a lewd novel I guess haha... It's something I have been working on since 2-3 years. Its outlook is also not like that of an official novel but still, I have done all I can do alone, writing the novel, editing it and everything. Some friends helped me, but eventually, I completed it by myself.

I am from India, and in 3rd year of my Engineering. I guess I found my passion too late as I had already joined the college and wanted to graduate before working actively in the writing field. However, near the end of my first year, I had already started writing this Fanfic. Perhaps it was because of my lust of popularity or because I also wanted to write a Douluo Dalu fanfic, I started writing about it too. I guess I chewed off more than I could bite. Writing three novels at the same time was far too taxing. Especially when I had to give out regular chapters. I even started using p.atreon to collect money for advance chapters because I wanted to prove to my parents that I could earn through writing as well. My parents were convinced but I was seriously exhausted after a month or two. I couldn't go anywhere and spent all my time on discord or writing.

After that, I was interested in a girl I met online. She was from the same country as me. I was infatuated with her. The time talking to her was so relaxing that I slowly found myself getting out of writing. I slowly reduced my time in writing and started to talk with her more. However, she soon found someone else she liked so I got a little angry. We had a quarrel and I was pretty much pathetically depressed. I know I was in the wrong but I still couldn't control my emotions at that time. I was quite pathetic, I guess. Haha...

Anyway, I am out of depression. I had started watching animes again because of a bit of my free time and study for engineering. (I pretty much failed in quite a few subjects in a few semesters so I had to reappear in those exams again. Had to study all that too...) In a bit of my free time, I read some novels. I tried to improve my writing style and felt that it has improved a lot. During that time, I kept my mind focused on my main novel and kept everything aside. I just wrote something now and then for fun. It was to try out whether it would look appropriate in my main novel or not.

I have said it before but I guess I will say it again, I wish to turn this story into a manga story. I know I am not from Japan, it's probably a little preposterous for me to think of making manga and publishing it. Even after that, I have little hope of gaining popularity. However, I still want to make a manga. I am going to hire an artist and discuss a long term plan with him to ensure that it would come to reality even if it costs me a lot.

Currently, I have released my novel on the Kindle (Amazon), I won't say you must buy it. In fact, I urge you not to buy it if you do not like it. That will be your own decision. I just want you to read the free preview available on kindle, just tell me if you like it or not. I just want to know a bit of your viewpoint if you will like the story or not... I haven't asked anyone known to me to review the novel because the first few reviews I wish for are the true reviews. I just want to know whether my story is worth reading or not and let you be the judge of this fact.

This was what I wished to speak about myself and the story.

As for the questions concerning this fanfic, I do have a few ideas planned. My online classes are probably going to be suspended in a few days because of some ridiculous news in our country. I wouldn't want to bore you with details, but yeah, it is so ridiculous that I can't even speak of it here. So, yeah, I can continue this fanfic soon enough.

Just please read the free preview available on kindle, after that, buying or not buying is your own choice.

The name of the novel is [Rising Warriors] by [Anshul Gupta].

If this is not the link for your respective countries, you can redirect yourself to your countries server. I don't really understand how it works but it should be available in all countries.

Thank you for listening to my rabble. Sorry for making it so long, hehe...

Hello everyone! 

So as promised, here is the Christmas Q&A for System Programmer. Special thanks to everyone who asked a question. :)


Let's start with the questions aimed at me personally : 

Q: Can you tell us more about yourself? 

Sure. I'm a 33 year old Belgian. I guess I'm a lot of older of the average web novel writer, lol.  I've been working as a software developer for about a decade now. I used to write a lot back in high school but college & real-life work kinda got in the way and I only recently picked up this hobby again and System Programmer is the first novel I'm writing. 

Q: What were some of the inspirations for this novel?

So I'm sure most of you have read a system novel. The main character lives an ordinary life and suddenly gets a system out of nowhere, most of the time by dying and being reincarnated. Have you never wondered? Who the hell is making those systems? Is there like a company in heaven distributing them to heroes? Someone should write a book about that! Wait a minute…

Q: What's your favorite color?

Blue


Q: What made you come up with the idea of having the MC, Joshua, being a summoned soul instead of having him reincarnate and being able to summon a soul?

To continue on the previous question: my first idea was that Catherine would be the world's chosen heroine and she would be granted a system by the heavens to complete her task. However, the system was still a beta version and would be buggy as hell. So the heavens would send her a recently deceased programmer in order to debug the system. In this early draft, Joshua was stuck inside Catherine's head that would look like some sort of sci-fi command center, trying to figure stuff out. 

I ended up alternating it for several reasons:

Having Joshua being the creator of the system makes the whole world much more personal for him. While it would have been funny to have him press random buttons to see what it does and accidentally turn Catherine's skin blue or some other dumb stuff would have been amusing, it would also have gotten old quickly. Besides, if Joshua had wasted like 10 chapters figuring out how to use the system to program a 'Hello World!' command, the plot would be moving at a snail's pace.  In the current version, Joshua knows how the system works since he made it and is slowly adding functionalities to it. Luna is his life's work, Joshua considers it his magnum opus.  

As for why have him being summoned & not vice-versa, I always saw Joshua more as a tactician than a fighter, while Catherine has been training for more than a decade now. Being inside Catherine's head allows him on developing stuff, which he loves, while Catherine does most of the day to day business. 


Q: Where do you stop on power levels? Is there a chance main characters could have powers rivaling of God in the future?

I do not intend to go past the 10 ranks I've introduced, as for how powerful they will be then, we'll see. 

Q: What are some of your favorite books, in print or online?

Hmm, let's see. I'm a big fan of fantasy novels (Lord of The Rings, Harry Potter, A Song of Fire and Ice, currently reading the Kingkiller Chronicles)
I also like good mystery novel like Agatha Christie. 
I do love Lovecraftian horror, even though I've read some Lovecraft and I find his style very hard to read.
As for Joshua, I would say his favorite novel is probably 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea'. 

Q: Why hasn't Joshua done …. (insert OP thing here) yet? / Will Joshua ever do ….?

This is a grouping of several questions.  So, I think you all understand I'm not going to reveal future plot points in this Q&A. I'm not going to ruin my own story. :D

However, I'll address the issue: Please consider that since the start of the novel, less than 2 months have passed. In that regard, we can say Joshua has accomplished a LOT. If any real programmer could do 1% of what Joshua did in 2 months he would probably be a billionaire. :D 

Also, please consider I'm already spending a lot of time about Joshua developing the system. I could increase the number of experiments, but then the plot would barely advance, so I keep alternating between Joshua making new stuff and their adventures. 

I hope this clarifies it for everyone, although there is one thing in particular...

Q: WHERE IS THE FREAKING RAILGUN???????????

So, I know a LOT of people have commented about Joshua developing a railgun. He may do it eventually. But keep in mind, at his core, Joshua is a programmer. What's interesting him right now is runes and he's not really interested in guns. The way he developed those combat drones matches his personality a lot more than a firearm. 

Q: There's one thing that everyone wants to know, and that is: 
Will Joshua and Catherine end up together? Or will Catherine end up with someone else, and our man Joshua will end up forever alone?

Oh boy, what did I say about no future spoilers, lol. Let me say this: I consider the relationship between Joshua & Catherine one of the most important parts of the novel. Now, as you all have noticed, the link between the two is pretty unusual. I dare say, Joshua does love Catherine. He said so himself a few times. Although, he doesn't consider it romantic love and he's very happy with his current situation. I do believe if there is ever a change in that, it will most likely come from Catherine & not him. 


Joshua: I don't see why everyone is so confused, how many men can claim to be inside their soulmate 24/7? Most don't even last 5 minutes.
*Catherine appears and smashes Joshua with a sledgehammer.*



Q: What is your personal view on whether or not catnip is good for catgirls?

I wasn't expecting this one, lol. If it makes your catgirl happy, go for it!



Q: This might sound like something straight from Joshua, but could two different Lunas communicate with each other and if they can, is the original world already under Luna's control?

Haha. This isn't Terminator. Joshua designed Luna to always protect its user, and Luna isn't a sentient being. Of course, Joshua died before the final version went in mass-production so who knows what the people who take over the project will do. :D


Q: Is the underground similar to the Dragon Age Deep Roads?

The main inspiration for the underworld is the Underdark found in D&D. I'm fairly certain the Deep Roads are also based on the Underdark. If you're unfamiliar with the concept, imagine gigantic caverns below ground spreading for kilometers without end, with bizarre civilizations living in some areas. (mostly evil bastards)

Q:  Are there different cultivation systems in other/current world's we know the summoner path are there other types?

Probably, if you take other worlds into account I guess each one has their specialty. They're most likely not be relevant to the plot though. 

Q: Can animals use the summoner system and if not why?

Animals don't know how to cultivate as far as we know so nope. 

Q: Will Joshua ever think to build a weapon platform in orbit of the planet and fire a metal rod at high speed to kill that Crow if they meet again?

*Hearing this Joshua's eyes started to shine*

Joshua: PLEASE PUT THIS IN THE STORY!!!!!
Me: No.
Joshua: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! Catherine, he's being mean to me!

Q: Will Joshua create a mecha for Catherine?

Joshua: PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: No. 
Joshua: YOU'RE THE WORST WRITER EVER!

Q: To extrapolate on energy, I feel that Joshua with technology and Catherine on nature, the two are absolutely capable of growing off of each other. So should the concept of terraforming, genetics, and other forms of nature enrichment be introduced? (perhaps something like zoological domes and terrariums in Joshua's side, which could be breeding biodiversity to be released? As Catherine's world gets bigger, so does the amount of different biomes she can have. (Variations on forest or plains at first? jungle could get poison and the like? Magical biomes n stuff?)

So this is a very interesting question, but going into details would be very spoilerific. I do intend to have Catherine & Joshua grow together in some way like Joshua's been doing with his dams. We'll see how they evolve. :D


Q: What are the gods in this story's world? Every author that dabble with the divine have different interpretations of what gods are, so what's yours would be?


Interesting. So far, the only characters that are supposed to be Gods so far are Leonard and the Crow. We have no idea what Leonard can do for now. As for the Crow, while he's obviously very powerful. He's clearly not as omnipotent he pretends to be. The simple fact that Joshua managed to escape from him indicates that. What the limit of their abilities is, that is something we'll find later on though, so please be patient. 

Q: Say my greetings to Cynthia!

Cynthia, you have a fan!

Cynthia: I'm honored! *bows* I thought only Lady Catherine would have fans.
*Lydia cries in a corner.*


Q: For how long will this novel go on?

No one actually asked this, but I figure I'll add it myself. I have a general draft of the whole plot and I know how I want the story to end. I think it will come down to 4 or 5 volumes in total. I hope to finish the story by the end of next year, but no promises. :D 

Q: (For Webnovel only) Have you consider going premium? 

So I got contacted by the Webnovel staff about 2 months ago and they asked me if I was interested in becoming a contracted author. I did turn the offer down. The main reason is I do work full-time as a software developer. Webnovel mostly encourages the authors to release at least a chapter per day and once you're contracted you have to write X number of words every month. With my current job, this is an impossible rhythm for me and I like to write at my own pace.

I am working towards a release on Amazon Kindle, however. I hired someone to edit volume 1 and I have an artist friend who is making me a nice cover. :D The novel will remain free to read on both Webnovel and Royal Road though, don't worry. The Kindle release will be there for people who want to support this little writing project. We'll see how it goes, but for now, I'm aiming for a release around the end of January. 


Q: Will you write other novels after this one?

Again no one asked this but whatever. :D 

I'd like to! I got ideas for 5 other novels in my head actually. Of course, writing a novel is a big project, so I'll see how this one does once on Kindle.  

That's for the questions aimed at me. 

Let's now move to questions aimed at the characters from the story!

Ladies first, so let's start with the questions aimed at Catherine. 





Q: Catherine, your Element is Water right? Can you with enough water in the air, create rain or stop the rain?

Catherine: Unfortunately with my current level, I can't create such a large phenomenon. We'll see once I grow stronger. 
Joshua: The day it happens, I'll gladly perform 'singing in the the rain' for you!


Q: Can you split water into its components to breath underwater?

Catherine: Yes. 


Q: What is your favorite Dress?

Catherine: I like the blue dress that I'm wearing in the upcoming cover! Look forward to it!

Q: Do you ever feel guilty about having summoned another human being, Joshua, and binding his soul - and therefore his life - to your own without his consent? (I don't recall Joshua getting a choice in it at all.) I'm asking since none of the other summoners we have met have had a human. Humanoid, sure, as seen with the Angel, but they don't relate as well as a normal human would, no?

Catherine: Honestly, I had my doubts initially, but Joshua looks very happy now, so I don't think I should feel guilty. 
Joshua: Living inside your head is the second best thing that ever happened to me! The best one is discovering the existence of French Fries!

Q: What does Catherine think of her family?

Catherine: We haven't seen them much, but I'm very close to them. I hope I get the chance to hang out more with them later in the story!

That's all of Catherine. We actually have a question for Boris of all people!

Q: Boris, what do you and Eric usually do whenever you hang? And how is it not being able to talk to anyone besides Eric?

Boris: …..
Eric: Hum, allow me to ask him. Uhu I see. 

So I can answer the first part myself: We like to drink while playing card games! Of course, now we're on a mission so we don't really have time to party. As for talking to other people, he was never a talkative one anyway so he doesn't really mind. Besides, I'm here should the need arise! 

Thanks you two! 

Finally, we arrive at what everyone has been expecting: The questions aimed at Joshua! 


*Joshua arrives on the stage, wearing a full tuxedo. He throws a flower bouquet at the audience and starts blowing kisses in every direction.*


Joshua: Hellooooooooooooooooo! I'm everyone's favorite protagonist! Bring on the questions!

Q: If you were stuck in an island, and could only bring one thing with him, what would he bring?

Joshua: Obviously, a teleportation device!

Q:  When you tried making a laser sword did you try to create cold plasma and keep it in a stable rotational bladelike form by utilizing magnetic fields or how was your approach on it?

Joshua: Honestly I just tried to make a Star Wars weapon. That obviously failed since they're not real, which is why I altered the design until I got something that worked. 

Q: Can you make a Jojo reference?

Joshua: Yare Yare Daze *poses*

Q; Joshua, if you can create things in your soul world through imagination, can you theoretically create incredible computer/generators with zero resistance using superconductors? 

Joshua: Even for imaginary objects, there has to be some logic behind them. If I try to make an object that's literally impossible to make, it won't work. Imagine if Catherine asked me to create a sword that could cut through anything. The only way I could make this is if I had knowledge of every material in the universe and had a method on how to cut them then combine them into a single weapon. It's just impossible. 

Q: Do you think you can after leveling up more create a Virtual World (like Matrix) in your Soul World?

Joshua: Only if I get to cosplay as Neo. 

Q:  Does T-Rex taste like chicken? I mean it is its ancestor.

Joshua: It does actually, I recommend it with mayonnaise. 

Q: How do you feel about putting pineapple on pizza?

Joshua: Arrest this madman!

Q: If you were transported 400 years into the past with no clothes or anything else, how would you prove that you were from the future?

Joshua: I wouldn't, I would kick off the industrial revolution 200 years in advance. This would allow my alternate self in that timeline to be even more tech savvy. 

Q: Toilet paper, over or under?

Joshua: I don't need to use it since I became a ghost. 

Q: Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Joshua: Depends, are you talking about the meal or the hot female dogs you find on furry sites? 

Q: If life were a video game, what would some of the cheat codes be?

Joshua: 
FUCKTAHCROW
JOSHXCATOTP
EATBANANAS

Q:How many chickens would it take to kill an elephant?

Joshua: 64

Q: What's the best Wi-Fi name you've seen?

Joshua: @JoshuaLockman

Q: What's the most ridiculous fact you know?

Joshua: Catherine sometimes sleepwalks while dancing the Macarena
Catherine: You made that up.
Joshua: … I did.

Q: If animals could talk, which would be the rudest?

Joshua: Quite obviously, the Hydra. 



Q: Does your amount of jokes equal infinity?

Joshua: Infinity +1 actually

Q: You're a mad scientist, what scientific experiment would you run if money and ethics weren't an issue?

Joshua: I would create 2000 clones of Catherine. The world never has enough Catherine. 

Q: Do you miss your family?

Joshua: A bit, but I'm a scientist at heart. Maybe, someday, I'll find a way to meet them again. 

Q: What about Joshua's favorite genre of film? 


Joshua: Obviously, comedy. 


Q: Does Luna have Indian Tech support? 

Joshua: Only if Venkat Subramaniam agrees to do it. 

Q: What is the meaning of life as a ghost?

Joshua: 42

Q: So, Joshua. What's your qualified guess to the real Meaning behind the Question for the Answer 42?

Joshua: More seriously, I believe it's different for everyone else. People often say all human lives are equal and all life is precious. I disagree. I believe life by itself has little meaning, it's how people live their lives that give it value. I also think the life of a single human is not that important, you have to take humanity as a whole. If you dedicate your life to a cause that's productive to mankind and allow it progress further, then yes, your life a lot of value. If, on the contrary, you're a scumbag who murders people in their sleep for fun, then your contribution to the global effort is negative, and you're better off dead. Bottom line is, everyone must find their own answer. I already stated mine in the story, I want to see mankind evolve and see where progress takes it. I don't know what the endpoint will be for me, as a continue to evolve Luna, but the simple prospect is wonderful. 


And with this, we're done. :D

Thanks, everyone for your support so far! 
If you have any more questions, feel free to post them in the comments. 
Merry Christmas everyone!

After dying, our main character found himself summoned by a young woman. She comes from a long line of summoners and had expected to partner up with a powerful being, like the rest of her family. Instead, she summoned a computer programmer, who from now on will be living inside her head. Powerless, he's unable to help her with the upcoming war. Disappointed that neither of them had been blessed by fate with some divine abilities, he decides to build a computer system inside her head himself.

Hello, to anyone who still cares enough to read this. 

Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to the people who gave me feedback on my novel and supported me during my short three-week run. For that, I am eternally grateful. 

I kind of disappeared out of the blue without saying anything because I couldn't take it anymore. It was stupid of me to do, but here I will be trying to list my reasons and I hope you can understand.

I began to write for WebNovel after seeing their advertisement for up and coming authors to make a living off of writing. I hate myself for being so naive. Looking back on it now, it was like falling for any other scam on the internet. Stuff like "Doctor's hate him because ... " and "Sign up to win ... " Etc Etc. 

As a twenty-three-year-old university student working two jobs, the only time I could fit to write was during the hours of 12 am and 5 am. It was literally killing me to publish chapters as I began to fall asleep in class, and my performance at work got a bit sloppy. 

But for the most part, I enjoyed writing the chapters because I loved to write. I loved to publish a chapter and stalk it until someone posted a reply. That moment when the first person said something meant the world to me. Because it meant someone cared that my story existed, and for this reason, I tried to push myself to put out more and more chapters. 

Things started to go wrong though, as most things do. Webnovel's feedback system is the most depressing thing. It actively tracked how many people had my novel in their collection and how many total views the novel had. However, the only number that matter was the collections. 

The thing was, these numbers were always bugged and never gave me a clear indication as to the scale of my readers. Aside from the usual comments from return readers, the number didn't mean anything. It was like running in one spot, over and over without any clear indication to if I was making any progress. It's horrible when the work you put in seems to yield basically no results. 

I was feeling euphoric watching my collections pass 100. You guys don't know the scale to my happiness. I basically woke up my whole household in celebration.

Then, in the author's discord channel, they confirmed that everything on the interface was bugged. Yep, talk about a slap in the face. 

To summarize ... I was and still am a hopeful about making a career out of my writing. But doing it on Webnovel is ill-advised. Unless that is if you are writing a fan-fiction or another cliche 'system' novel. In that case, I believe you'll find much success. 

Also, if you guys want to know the biggest reason for my departure from WN; in the search function, look up 'Da Contract'. It's the actual web novel contract. Even if you guys don't know the lingo its fine. Just take a look through and you'll understand my frustrations. 

The staff never really cared about us authors either. They seldom gave out prizing for contests and were hush-hush about even attaining a contract. But reading through it ... this thing is a slave contract. I kid you not. Anyone who is desperate enough to sign, I give you my condolences. But it's completely and utterly unbefitting of a professional "employer-producer" relationship. 

And the fact that tried to keep the contract under wraps ... they knew what they were doing.

Thankfully, a fellow author "ink bamboo" was quick to point this out to me. Otherwise, I would possibly be still slaving away here, with no end in sight. I probably would have hung myself if all my stress ended up culminating with being presented with this contract ... 

There are so many things I want to say, but I find myself more and more depressed as I think about it. An entire month of my life down that drain ... it feels bad.

I was told to try my hand with self-publishing on Amazon with Kindle. I believe it's more worth it for me to try there. If people buy my book and like it, at least I can get immediate feedback. If it doesn't work out... well, I suppose it just means I don't have the talent for writing.

Imperious Edge will continue, but not here. Not in this depressing hellscape. 

To my frequent readers, I am sorry, deeply and truly sorry that I have let you down. I can only hope you understand my choices. I often end my chapters with a bow, and to that, I give you my final respectful gesture as I sign off here. 

Perhaps it's asking too much, but I hope you guys would care enough to support me in my endeavours to becoming an amateur author. When I publish my first Volume, I will update this. 

Again, thank you and best wishes to all your future endeavours. May they yield more fruit and success than this. 

Forever yours, 

-Vincent-

WN is crap. They're slave drivers and made me question why I was wasting my time here. I'm sorry, but I just can't sit here and take it.

Hello. Pleased to meet you; please call me Wang. I'm about to commit a flagrant indulgence, for which I hope you'll forgive me; I'm of the opinion that a lot of Webnovel writers & readers would appreciate both the sentiments and the encouragement.

I've been a semi-professional writer, fiction and non-fiction both, for ten years now. A few months back I joined Webnovel. I have books published on kindle as well. And, I get paid for my stuff...well, most of the time, anyway...but it's not my main source of income, and if I weren't paid at all, I'd probably still write. More, I'd probably still write exactly the stories, and more pertinent, the kinds of stories, that I've been writing for a decade now. I love to write stories with an erotic flavor.

I write for two reasons above all others. The first and less important one is to illustrate something about the way people think, feel, and behave. The second, and by far the more important, is to make myself and others feel good.

The odds are high that the Webnovel readers, who are bothering to read this -- the first chapter of 'my feelings' as a writer, might want to skip. It is totally your wish.

Now the question - Why do I do this?

While you're pondering that, allow me a few observations about so-called erotica, with specific application to what appears here.

Most of what's styled "erotica" is really just pornography. Pornography is the depiction of raw sexual behavior, independent of what reaction it elicits from the reader. Erotica is about the evocation of desire; it's written to elicit the urge to union with a beloved, including sexual union. It's not "whacking material," as quite a lot of the stuff submitted on Webnovel so obviously is. It celebrates eros, the desire to bond with one's beloved, of which sex is the fleshly expression.

You want proof? Ask any woman. We men tend to suppress such notions; they strike us as somehow unmanly. All the same, ponder why men desire sexual intercourse as fervently as we do. As Lord Chesterfield once observed, "The pleasure is momentary, the position ridiculous, and the expense damnable." But a man whose wife or Significant Other "cuts him off" will feel he's lost far more than just an outlet for the pressure in his testicles. Some will seek relief elsewhere, but believe it or not, the overwhelming majority of us won't and don't -- and not because we don't think we'd get away with it.

If I'm to go by what I've read at Webnovel, most of the submitters here don't agree with that formulation. What they write appears directed at "working it:" stiffening Irving or lubricating Wendy in preparation for a bit of self-exercise.

A mature adult, however much he might need to do so, doesn't feel all that good after masturbating. It relieves the biological pressure, but it does little for the emotional yearning indissolubly connected to the sex drive in any healthy human being.

I'm here to encourage you to think about making your readers feel good in more ways than just "the tickle in the pickle."

Hello readers. My name is Wang. 
This is the story of a Webnovel Author, who participated in a "Writing Contest" which happened to be "A twilight FanFic Writing contest".

Being a big fan of Twilight Saga and the character Bella Swan, the author decides to participate in the contest.

He was not aware that his participation will make his dreams, both good and bad, come true.

After that night, I went home. Still unsure of what had happened. 

Still fresh, the horrifying scene of your dearest, thinking that you've betrayed him.

Well, I can only blame my own incompetence. My fragile and weak heart. My cowardice.

Pero as I said, paninindigan ko na to.

"Papa, andito na ako," I called.

"Oh, kumusta? Nag-enjoy ka ba?" tanong ni Papa.

I tried to smile and hide the pain.

"Opo, ang saya nga eh," I replied.

I know my dad won't be fooled that easily. He knew me since I was a kid. I don't know the reason, but whatever it is, I was glad with the solitude that he gave. 

I lay down in my bed, convincing myself that what I did, was the right thing to do.

Until, I fell asleep peacefully—at least, that was what I was hoping.

Nightmares about that night came flooding. Waking me up in the middle of the night, drenched with sweat and panting. 

"You deserve this." I told myself.

It became like this all throughout the night, that it even made me glad to see the sun rise at my window. 

I sigh. Morning. 

I am so eager to spend this like an ordinary day.

I went out of my room and headed downstairs.

"Oh, good morning," sabi ni Papa. "Come, magbreakfast ka muna." 

I nodded and took my seat. 

As I was eating, I heard the phone ring. Dad took it and I watched as his smile soon disappeared and replaced by a frown. He went towards me and told me news.

I had a bad premonition.

"Hija, Mr. Dean just called. He said that the wedding will be held a year from now." he said.

I froze from what I was doing. I gulped and looked at him.

"I thought 3 years from now pa yun?" I asked.

"Supposedly. Pero they were planning na isabay ito pagkatapos ng laban na magaganap. As you know, they're quite confident that your fiancé will be able to defend the title."

No. It isn't what you think. It ain't boxing or any physical sports. It's Chess.

As you can see, my fiancé is Barry Kindle.

You're right, The Barry Kindle. A widely renowned Chess Grandmaster, around the world. And the current title holder. Also, the son of a successful businessman named Dean Kindle. The man whom my Dad owned a lot.

Most importantly, a doofus. An egoistic douchebag. And a jerk. 

He's been introduced to me, once. And I never liked the encounter.

Well, he's neat. Handsome (for some women), with his Canadian looks. He's got this regal feature that would make you think that he's a prince, spoiled by the King and Queen. But, he's so full of himself and acts like he can get anything that he wants. If you were to meet him, I'm pretty sure you'll be crying or laughing at my situation. He just doesn't have a romantic bone in his body. Plus, he thinks women are below him. 

So much for your typical Prince Charming.

So yeah, I'm doomed to marry this man. But whatever, I already accepted my fate.

"Yeah. I know. They've been like that. So, is it going to be held here? You know? The match?" I asked Papa.

"Yes. Here in the Philippines. And so is the wedding."

"So he'll be coming here a year from now. Not because of the wedding, right? But because of the freaking match. And he wants our wedding to be held afterwards to show off more," I said. Disgusted. 

"I'm sorry, hija." 

See? I know, I'm not really the reason for that. It's because of the upcoming match with his long time rival, Kristoff Lincoln, the former Chess Grandmaster.

They've been at it for a long time. Last year, Barry defeated Kristoff and regained the tittle. The previous year to that, Kristoff defeated Barry and stole the title. Yeah, they were the best enemies. Specially since the both of them almost had the same attitudes. Both are jerks and are very proud of themselves.

In any case, I've got a year to mourn for my upcoming misfortune.

"It's okay, Papa. I'll just enjoy myself from now on," I forced a smile. I got up and went to my room upang maligo na at maghanda. 

"Okay, just don't strain yourself!" he called.

"I won't!"

Matapos kong maghanda ay tinawagan ko ang mga kaibigan ko. I wanted to spend the remaining days that I had full of happiness.

Hopefully.

Valentines day came. It was not a good thing for me, you know? Ako na kinailangang pakawalan at pagsinungalingan ang taong mahal ko, at ako na ikakasal naman sa isang taong hindi ko naman gusto.

Yeah, ang sarap lang talagang manabunot sa t'wing makakakita ako ng mga couple na napaka-sweet.

Pweeh!

Mabuti nalang at pinipigilan ako ng mga kaibigan ko.

"Bess, maghunos-dili ka," sabi ni Jason. Yung isa kong friend na bakla.

"Walang Forever!" I shouted at the couples.

"Tara, mamasyal nalang tayo sa Mall. Shopping, para mawala yung stress mo. Tatanda ka ng maaga niyan eh."

"Wala akong pake. Mabuti na nga yun eh, at nang pandirian na ako ng fiancé ko."

I mean it.

"Sa ganda mong 'yan? Hahaha! Tara na nga, ang dami mo pang arte eh."

I followed kasi alam ko namang tama rin siya. At ayoko namang mapag-iwanan.

So we went to the mall for shopping.

Habang naglalakad kami patungong Department store, something caught my attention.

'FIRST DANCE'

"Anong problema?" tanong ni Jason nang makita niya akong nakatingin dito.

"Wala, may naalala lang ako," I said.

"Yung high school life mo?"

"Oo."

"Yung kasama mo pa siya."

Oo. Nung masaya pa ako.

"Ano ka ba, past is past. Wala na yun."

"Okay, sinabi mo eh."

"I want to try it."

"Gora!" he said as he waved his hand, shooing me away.

I pulled him and told my other friends na susunod nalang kami.

"Anong ginagawa mo?" tanong nito.

"Gaga, sino sa tingin mo yung makakasayaw ko?" I answered.

"Aba'y malay ko?! Hindi mo ba narinig? Stranger nga di ba? Yun yung sabi nung staff oh!" sabi nito habang nagpupumiglas.

Binitawan ko siya.

"Please? Just this once," I pleaded. 

"Haist. Sigi na nga," he surrendered. "Kung di lang kita love eh."

I hugged him.

"Oh, sigi na, dun ka na sa kabila,"I told him. "Para sa mga babae ito eh, baka nandun yung sa lalaki."

"Okay." he said as he went to the other side.

Lumapit na ako sa staff nito.

"Kuya, I want to participate," sabi ko.

"Sigi po ma'am, just write your name here and upo ka lang po dito. Susunod ka na po kay ate," sabi nito.

I nodded at isinulat ko yung pangalan ko. Tumingin ako doon sa sinasabi niyang ate. May nauna na pala sakin.

Matapos kong isulat ang pangalan ko ay ibinigay ko na yung listahan sa staff.

"Salamat po, at maghintay lang po kayo sandali dito ma'am."

And so, I waited.

Nakita kong pumasok na yung babae. Narinig ko na rin yung tugtog.

I became excited. At the same time, nostalgic.

I remembered the time nung napagtripan kami ng mga tropa niya. Nakapiring pa kami noon habang sumasayaw. 

Haist.

How I wish I could turn back time.

I wish I could go back to dancing with him. Yung feeling na yun. Yung pakiramdam na parang kayong dalawa lang yung nagmamatter sa mundo. Wala ka nang pakialam sa iba. Just me and him. Swaying with the music.

I missed him.

I slapped myself. Baka kasi umiyak na naman ako.

'Huwag naman dito sa public, self.'

I was in my deep thoughts when the staff called me.

"Ma'am, kayo na po ang susunod,"

Ngayon ko lang namalayan, huminto na yung tugtog at lumalabas na si ate.

I proceeded near the entrance.

"Ma'am, eto po yung mask. Tapos bawal po magsalita ha? Sayaw lang po," sabi nung staff.

I nodded.

"Ano po ba yung kantang gusto niyo pong ipatugtog?" he asked.

"Wait, I get to pick the song?" I asked. 

"Opo ma'am, para maiba naman. Palagi nalang kaming mga lalaki yung bida eh." he answered, jokingly.

"Ah okay. Let me think first."

I stormed my mind for some romantic songs. And I got one. Our favorite.

"Pusong Ligaw, by Jericho Rosales, please."

"Gotcha, ma'am! Pasok na po kayo."

I put my mask on and went inside.

Romantic nga yung theme nila. Sabagay, Valentines eh. 

The room was dim. Yung nagsisilbi lang ilaw ay nanggagaling sa disco lights na kulay pula. Tapos merong mga roses sa baba. Sosyal ah! 

Nakita ko na yung kaibigan ko na papalapit. 

Wait. Parang kakaiba yung tindig at hugis ng katawan niya ah. Ba't hindi siya kumekembot?

Naku, baklang twooh! This isn't Jason!

I turned my head around para magreklamo sana, pero I saw that the door was already closed. 

'Bahala na nga.'

I badly want to end this fast. 

So I proceeded to the middle and placed my hands on his neck. Then he put his on my waist.

Hmmm. At least he's gentle.

Naamoy ko siya. And he smells familiar.

Nagsimula na ang tugtog.

He guided me as we swayed back and forth with the music. His breath, so warm. He's very gentle throughout.

We danced as if we've been doing this since we were kids.

I didn't know but I let myself gave in. I felt like it's just me and him in this world. Like no one else existed.

And the funny thing? I was happy. Yeah. I was happy dancing with this stranger whose name I don't even know.

My heart was beating fast. I don't want this to stop.

I felt so vulnerable again. Like all those barriers that I built, shattered by this moment.

However, I let myself be intoxicated by the feeling.

'Sulitin mo na yan, Jessa. Ilang minuto lang yan.'

Then he leaned closer to my ear and spoke.

"I felt like I know you," he whispered. "Can you tell me who you are?"

That voice. I couldn't possibly forget that. I'm sure. It's Nick. 

But why? Why him? 

Is this my blessing for all that I sacrificed? Or my punishment for being a coward? 

I cursed inwardly. 

'Is that you, Nicko?' I wanted to ask. But I remembered what I did that night. He might be angry with me. 

So I tried to compose myself. 

"I don't think we're supposed to do that," I replied cooly. 

"Well, you replied so we're both breaking the rules now," he snickered.

He's still willing to break the rules for me.

Damn you, Nicko! 

I bit back a sob. I fought the urge to hug him. 

To cry.

To tell him everything. 

"And this will be the last time, so shut it!" I slight raised my voice to hide my emotions. "You're not even supposed to be my partner."

I felt his body tensed. But I'm glad he stopped asking.

Please, just let me enjoy this.

Don't let this end.

But of course, it won't last.

🎶... mula noon, bukas, at kailanman. 🎶

We parted and I ran to the exit.

Oo, Nicko. Ikaw pa rin. Ikaw na ikaw pa rin. Ang hanap ng aking pusong ligaw.

I cried.

I ran up to the exit. I called a taxi and went home. Mabuti na lang at wala pa si Papa.

So I went to my room and wept.

At noong medyo nakahinga na ako, I took my phone and saw missed calls mula kay Jason. At sakto, tumawag siya ulit. Kaya sinagot ko na.

"Uy, bess. Asan ka na?" tanong niya. "Kanina pa kita hinahanap. Sani nung staff tumakbo ka daw. Tapos may nakakita rin sayo na umiiyak. Ano bang nagyari?"

"Andito na ako sa amin. Answer me first," sagot ko. "Bakit hindi ikaw yung naging partner ko? Saan ka ba nagpunta?"

"Pumunta ako sa kabila gaya ng sabi mo. Nagregister tapos naghintay ako dun. Eh wala namang ibang lalaki, kaya ako agad yung pinapasok. Nagtataka nga ako kasi ibang babae yung nakasayaw ko," paliwanag niya. "Pagkatapos naming sumayaw eh pinuntahan agad kita. Kaso wala ka naman doon, akala ko bumalik ka na sa mga friends natin at nagshopping. Ayun pala eh nasa loob ka na. Kasama yung lalaking kasunod sakin." 

"Ah kaya pala. Yung ateng nauna sakin yung nakasayaw mo. Tapos yung sakin naman ay yung kasunod mo."

"So, sinagot na kita. Ako naman yung sagutin mo. Ano ba talagang nangyari?"

"It was him."

"Who?"

"Nick. Nick Campbell. Siya yung nakasayaw ko."

"Oh, my. Talagang pinaglalapit na kayo ng tadhana, bess! Bakit hindi po pa kasi sabihin yung totoo?"

"Then what? Idamay siya sa gulong ito? No way!"

"Okay, kalma lang. Pero bess, paano kung willing siya?"

"Of course, willing siya!" I snarled. "Kilaka ko yun, he'll do everything for me."

"Ayun pala eh, sabihin mo na sa kanya kasi!"

"I can't."

"Why?"

"Kasi natatakot ako."

He was silent for a moment. Akala ko binaba na niya. Ibaba ko na sana nang biglang...

"Ehdi ako yung magsasabi sa kanya. Pasensya na bess pero I think siya lang talaga yung makakatulong sayo. Siya lang talaga makakapag-palaya sayo. Hate me all you want bess, pero gagawin ko to. Andito pa rin naman ako sa mall eh, and I think I saw him went to Tom's World. Bye!"

"Wait! Don—"

Ibinaba na niya.

I became nervous.

I don't know what to do. What should I expect? Anong gagawin ko?

A few moments later, I received a text from an unknown number.

"Babe. Punta ka sa park, usap tayo. I love you. And I know you love me too. Sinabi na ni Jason sakin ang lahat. -Nick"

He knows. And I know for one thing...

He'll do everything to get me back.

Deep inside, I was happy.

"Thank you, Jason. For doing what I can't bring myself to do." I muttered and smile. 

Nagbihis na ako at umalis.

###

A broken promise. A despaired heart. Is it a sin to love this much? Does love really hurts? Or is it loving the wrong one?

And if that wrong one, was the one whom you've promised to be with... Will you keep your promise, or will you let it go?

Will love prevail? 

Kahit na 'Problema' ang apelyido niya?

Hello guys and girls, it has been a long year and all of you have followed me without question through it. There have been some ups and downs, but nonetheless, I think that I can finally take this book of hiatus soon. I know a lot of you have wanted daily releases, especially my big fans, so I will naturally do that.

But, it is only polite of me to inform you guys of what I have been doing as of late. The beginning of CEO in a Fantasy World, as you guys may know, has a lot of errors. I mean, blazing errors. Gradually, my writing became better and I was able to deliver quality not very common on webnovel, but I never took the contract. This meant, I made absolutely no money besides on p-atreon, to which I earned around $20 on a good month.

SO, I decided to write a new book. Some of you may have seen it on Webnovel for a little bit, but it is no longer here. I have finally published a book on Amazon, and I wanted to inform you guys of what exactly I had been doing, and why CEO was on a hiatus.

A huge thank you to my patreons that have been there, and as always, I hope some of you can check out my story! It is $2.99 on amazon, or free if you have kindle unlimited.

Anyway, have a fantastic day, daily updates coming soon!
