Author: 314 (Yang Chen)
 
After you confirm what genre and topic you wish to write about, it's now time for you as an author to design your settings and write the overall planned outline for your plot. As for why I'm putting these two elements together, that's because these two elements are deeply interconnected and inseparable.
 
When you're writing the overall outline, this is basically coming up with the story's plot. As you write the outline, what you're actually doing is fleshing out the details for your setting.
 
When you're writing a story, of course, you need to first consider where your story will happen, when it happens, who it happens to, and what type of person it happens to. As the story progresses, you also need to consider who the main character will meet in the story, what time and place he or she meets them at, along with who's stronger and who's weaker than the main character…
 
This is why by the time that you're finished with your overall outline, the world's background, various factions, levels, special abilities, treasures, all the important characters… and such settings will be naturally completed during the course of outlining.
 
The reverse is true as well. If you first work on designing the detailed settings instead, then you'll basically end up with an outline for the story's plot and how the main character grows over the story as well.
 
Of course, there's still some differences depending on which angle you start from. However, newcomer authors like you don't need to worry about this. You can simply create based on your personality and whatever you prefer. It doesn't matter whether you start from the settings or the outline. You can even do both at the same time.
 
For newcomer authors like you, there's only five points that are critically important for you to understand.
 
1.      Having an overall outline isn't absolutely necessary, but having one is always better than not having one
 
Theoretically speaking, even if you didn't prepare an overall outline, it might not affect the progress of you writing your novel at all. There are some authors out there that simply write whatever comes into their mind and go with the flow.
 
Of course, this is all just a best-case scenario in theory. For the great majority of authors out there, once your story's plot exceeds your planned outline... 

Your outline will help your story stay on track in the early stages, but once you reach the mid and late stages, all sorts of problems often appear, such as too many plotlines all at once, self-contradictory plotlines, or writer's block…
 
At such a time, authors will typically regret not creating a more detailed outline, but it's already too late now. Actually, overall outlines have more uses than you think.
 
Since webnovels are typically longer than normal novels, they take much longer to write as well. Typically, it takes an average author several months or even longer to finish writing everything in their overall outline. By the time that they're finish writing everything in their overall outline, most authors will have new ideas and insights into what they want to write. Once they combine their new ideas with their original outline, in a way, this gives them two sources of inspiration. It's basically the equivalent of two people working together, and on top of that, these two people know exactly what each other are thinking.
 
It's easy to see how this can be helpful in improving the quality of your novel.
 
Apart from this, while creating an overall outline, the author can also discover many topics or problems with the settings and correct them in time.
 
To give an extreme example, if you're having a great difficulty with writing your overall outline and don't know what to do with your own plot, this proves that there's a large problem with your plot. You should either make major changes, or delete this part of your plot entirely.
 
So, newcomer authors definitely shouldn't overlook the uses of having an overall outline. No matter if you have a good or bad outline, a simple or a detailed one, as long as you have one, that's good.
 
What needs to be noted is that only outlines that have been written out truly count as outlines.
 
Even if you as an author have a very detailed outline, and even if you've solidly memorized every single plot point in your outline, any outline that hasn't been written into your novel doesn't count as a true outline. That's because when you actually start writing, you'll discover that what you finally end up writing will always have differences from what you envisioned.
 
2.      You need to finish your outline, but it doesn't need to be complete
 
Thinking about your outline is equivalent to thinking about your novel's plot. You need to consider both the beginning and the end. You also need to think about everything that the main character experiences from the beginning to the end of the story.
 
If your outline isn't finished, but only half-finished, you won't even be able to predict the storylines that come later, which will cause you to have difficulties writing your plot once you finish the beginning stages. This is basically the same as not having an outline at all.
 
Still, there's no need for us to make the outline as detailed as possible from the very beginning, with so many specific scenarios for all your plots. The reason for this is quite simple—none of us know just how long our novels will turn out to be in the end.
 
A story that's written with the intent of becoming a commercial product needs to be sufficiently long enough right from the planning stage. The longer your potential story, the better. But actually, how many words it finally ends up with depends on how well your story performs.
 
If your story is incredibly popular and performs well in the market, then we can consider writing it for as long as possible. However, if your story obviously isn't popular with readers, then you can consider ending your story in a timely fashion at an appropriate point in the plot so that you can think of a new story instead. That would be a wiser decision if you wish to become a professional author.
 
Of course, when you're only in the outlining stage, it's impossible for you as a newcomer author to know how readers will react to your novel. Precisely because of this, you need to have a flexible writing plan. What this means is that you should have an outline that's detailed in the beginning and general near the end. For the beginning of your story, you should have as detailed an outline as possible, while for the middle and especially the later parts of your story, you only need some general ideas. All you need is to consider the overall development of the plot so that you know what direction to take your storyline in.
 
For example, maybe you planned that the beginning of your novel will be approximately 80,000 words, and you've prepared a 4,000-word outline for just the beginning. In that case, your outline for the next 80,000 words, the middle of your story, might only need 3000 words, and the meat of your story, another 240,000 words, might have an outline that's less than 1000 words.
 
Of course, as you continue writing your story, you should constantly update your outline as well. You should complete your outline for the next 80,000 words before you finish writing the first 80,000 words.
 
3.      Your settings need to be constantly updated

Just like writing an outline, you should first come up with the basic settings before you even begin writing, which includes your world background, main character's personality, power levels, and so on.
 
More specific settings, such as a powerful artifact that appears in the story, can be added as you write your story.
 
Unlike an outline, you don't need to fully plan out all of your settings at the very beginning. It's perfectly acceptable to think of new settings while you're writing.
 
However, newcomer authors need to note that while it's okay to come up with new settings as you write, you should write these settings down and add them to your outline or settings document as you write.
 
This is to help yourself check your own settings later in the future. Otherwise, a novel that reached over one million words and has lasted for one year or longer might cause you as an author to completely forget about something you wrote before in the past. It's even quite common to make a mistake when writing about the items that the main character possesses. Yet, there will always be a sharp-eyed reader or two that catches the author out in a misstep.
 
If you have a very detailed document on your settings, not only will you be able to greatly reduce your own plot continuity errors, you'll also be able to look through your settings whenever you have writer's block and find some inspiration in a side character that you have already forgotten about or some item that was mentioned before but never used again.
 
4.      It's better for your settings to be cliché
 
Here, this means the systems and names that you use for your settings. For example, the names and levels you use for a martial arts society.
 
Many newcomer authors will mistakenly think that using already existing well-known settings will make their novel seem too cliché, causing them to want to be as "unique" as possible. These authors will use their imaginations to come up with all sorts of fictional vocabulary words, which in their minds will make their novels "stand out." These newcomer authors don't realize that this is the worst possible way to write a novel. In the great majority of situations, this will have the opposite effect from intended.
 
A new original novel that you write should be a new interpretation or story about some specific genre or story type. How to make your novel stand out depends on the conflicts you create in your story and how the main character resolves them. As for coming up with new vocabulary words and names for your novel, even if you make them sound really cool, or make some modified slang words, it's almost never a good thing for you.
 
The reason for this can also be understood in my article about how to write the beginning of your story. By doing so, the author is placing more burden upon the readers to understand a larger amount of information.
 
There will always be other already existing words that you could have used, which are easily understood by all your readers. Instead, your readers now need to spend their time and effort on reading your explanations. Obviously, readers aren't here to read your technical manuals or info dumps. The more explanations that you have in your novel, the lower your novel's appeal and flow will become. But, if you don't add any explanations for your self-created words at all, the readers won't even understand what's going on.
 
This is why newcomer authors should avoid this useless type of "creativity" as much as possible. You should simply rely on settings that all readers are familiar with instead.
 
5.      The storyline should be pushed forward by using conflicts
 
Many newcomer authors will often develop writer's block when planning their outline or working on their novel.
 
Sometimes, this is because the author has made their storyline too messy. But most of the time, it's because the author feels like there's nothing to write about, or doesn't know what they should make the main character do. The author has no idea how to continue their own story.
 
In order to deal with writer's block, or in other words, how to push your storyline alone, the answer is actually incredibly simple.
 
You can answer this question using only one word – Conflicts!
 
Actually, the critical element of all webnovels can be summed up into one word – conflicts. For example, leveling is the desire or need of the main character to become stronger, which is a conflict between the main character and his or her own current weakness.
 
And since there is a conflict, you must resolve the conflict. And so, your main character wants to cultivate to become stronger, which means he needs to travel around the world in order to find cultivation methods…
 
All sorts of conflicts will both push forward your storyline as well as create numerous climaxes for your readers. It can be said that how you design your conflicts is the very foundation of writing any novel, not just a webnovel.
 
As for a more detailed analysis on how to design your story's conflicts, please read my intermediate-level article on the topic. For newcomer authors like you, you simply need to understand this concept, and know that you should keep coming up with new conflicts whenever you're having trouble keeping up with your own storyline. Try finding potential conflicts from plots, characters, and items you've already used, or forcefully introduce a new element into your story that creates a new conflict.
 
This can be said to be one of the most basic techniques of planning your storyline.

**For a TLDR, scroll to the very bottom.** 
 
Hey guys! It's been a while. I normally post daily, buuuut, I've been doing some thinking lately about this story. I'm so happy that I've been getting so many views. Almost 10,000! And almost 100 of you all followed. I'm so thankful for every single one of you all. That being said, I want to give you all a quality product, one that you all like and that I'm proud to produce. 
 
For that reason, I unfortunately have to announce that I'm putting Order & Fate: Rebellious Children into a temporary hiatus. 
 
I know, the synopsis said that I have the series outlined, and that I have a backlog. I do! However, just because I have a series outlined doesn't mean that the series is good. While I'm happy to have been given good ratings and reviews, I've been looking over the work that I've produced while receiving much needed criticism from external sources, and I strongly believe that this work that I've produced is not the best that I can make. 
 
I suppose I could've kept going, left this version as it was, then just deeply edit it and upload the good version to Amazon. I'm not that kind of person, though. That'd be super scummy. Besides, I still want to give you all a quality product, which I feel this web novel is not... in it's current state.  
 
Soooo, what's so bad about it? I thought it was pretty neat. 
 
Thanks! But you can't see behind the scenes on this one. I'm sure a few of you were able to notice over the first act, and it's caught my attention HARD over the past few days, but the series was somewhat directionless. 
 
But how could that be? You said you had an outline! 
 
I did, and I still do. That outline formula, for all it's worth, does not lend itself to action stories like the one I wanted to create. It's mainly for character focused works, and because of the nature of this series, characters seemed to fight each other for attention. 
 
The best example of this are the later chapters with Hikari and Kou. It went from action, to calm, to action, to tense, and one character essentially had to be pushed aside for the other to receive characterization. 
 
Beyond that, I found that as I wrote, I began deviating from the established outline, which was beginning to form massive plotholes. 
 
That soooort of leads into my second gripe with the series, which is that it was beginning to suffer from an identity crisis. Some moments it was a strategic action series, others it was an intense drama, and others it was a horror mystery. Changing tone is fine, I feel, but where my biggest issue lies in its inability to decide whether it wanted to be character focused or plot focused. If I'm being brutally honest with myself here, I wanted to write a character-focused story, but found myself leaning toward a plot-focused one as I wrote. The outline seemed to be fighting with my wants, which began to affect the story negatively. At best, it was fast paced. At worst, it was unhinged and unfocused.  
 
Over the past week, I've been working to create an outline structure that works well for me as a writer. I haven't hidden that I love Shounen manga and anime in the slightest, and the greatest among them seem to be able to cross the thin line between plot-focused & character-oriented so perfectly. Because of that, I began to deconstruct what I'm dubbing the "Shounen Formula" into a story outline structure that works for me. 
 
Talking about it and studying it is somewhat meaningless, though. If I want to know how good it is, I need to put it to the test, right? 
 
I think so. That's why I'm happy to announce a new series that I've been working on...  
 
Demon Task Force! 
 
It's a Shounen-esque Progression Fantasy (exclusive to Royal Road) that I've been making with the sole purpose of stress-testing my new outline formula. My goal is to finish the first two arcs and upload them here. If you all enjoy the series, then I'll expand on it! I hope you all enjoy it when it comes out in a few weeks! I'll be uploading all of arc 1 on the first day, then I'll be dropping arc 2 over the span of a few weeks. 
 
But if you're using outlines again, won't you just run into the same problems? 
 
This go round, I'm not going to make the mistake of plotting every single thing out. That'd suck the fun out of writing. Instead, I'm using the "Shounen Formula" to create connected plot threads and plot points, which allows me to stay focused while also being freed from the restrictive and faulty outline I currently followed. 
 
Of course, the necessary worldbuilding will be fully plotted out, but that's different! 
 
It isn't just some one-off series, though. I'm serious about that entire series outline. Demon Task Force, or DTF for short, is a prequel to OAFRC, set many years before the story kicks off! As I mentioned those first two arcs WILL be released. If they don't do well, or you all dislike the new format, then I'll just regroup as I am and try again. I want to have a good quality product on here before I start going onto ******* and hiring editors to have it published. I got lost in the sauce before, I'll be honest! Sorry. I was just a little hype to get buzz so fast. 
 
Sooo... where does OAFRC fit in here? 
 
As I mentioned, DTF will be a prequel. As for the series in question, I'm going to be putting it on hold until I see the response DTF gets. If it does well, then I'll be reworking the outline for OAFRC to follow that mold, that way I can put it back into the wild with a reinforced structure. If it doesn't do well, then I'll just go back to the drawing board on both and do my best to seek counsel as I attempt to make a good series. 
 
In closing, I'm thankful for the support, but I want to make a series that isn't just "good for a webnovel" or "alright". I want to make something great, and to do that I need to go back and do some work on how I outline things. Demon Task Force should be uploaded either by the end of the month or the first week of February. I'll post about it when it's up!

Order & Fate: Rebellious Children is a series about a girl named Sumire Kato who is abruptly thrust into a world seething with murder, conspiracy, and drama. She must find strength within herself, rely on the friends she made, and uncover the mysteries of her home before doom reaches her and her loved ones!

 




Sumire Kato is an 18-year-old girl who has spent the last two years of her life alone in her apartment. She’s had little contact with other people and has no friends or family to communicate with. All of this changes when Sumire is invited to the Soteria School for Seekers, the prestigious school where Tenebris’s strongest study to become Seekers.  

  

As she makes the most of her new school experience, Sumire is continuously haunted by her demons, which threaten to damage the connections she’s made with the people at her new school. Eventually, she is forced to face her demons in a big way when one of her new friends is murdered by an unknown assailant.  

  

Sumire must overcome her past ghosts and find the killer with a clear mind and empty heart, lest her brother suffer the fatal consequences!  

 

Thank you for reading Order & Fate: Rebellious Children! Here are a few things you should know before getting into the story.

 

First, the chapter-length varies between 1000-3000 words depending on the events. Admittedly, the first batch of introductory chapters is a bit of a slow burn. I want to introduce you to the characters before getting to the craziness, so if you're interested in wall-to-wall action and fights each chapter, then this may not be the story for you.



Secondly, this story is heavily inspired by darker shounen manga and anime such as Hunter x Hunter and Jujutsu Kaisen, with the fights and magic system in particular taking inspiration from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure. If you like anime, then you'll probably like this story. If you prefer Tolkien-esque fantasy, though, then this story also may not be for you.

 

Thirdly, I have a decent stockpile of chapters stored, which I plan on expanding upon each day. Because of that, this series won't be dropped or put into indefinite hiatus, and chapters will be released daily unless otherwise stated. Finally, I've done multiple grammar and spell checks, so there shouldn't be any immersion-breaking grammatical issues. If you do find one, though, please leave a comment, and I'll revise! 

 

Finally, while this is my very first fiction, it's also a first draft of sorts. I plan to have this story professionally edited and published, so any feedback is very much appreciated!




The story is also available on Royal Road, Scribblehub, and Wattpad.

Okay guys, I know you've been waiting for an update on this story and I've come to a decision.

I'll be doing a massive revision on the original outline of this story mainly because of several reasons.

First is that as some of you may or may not know, I write my stories using my phone but since I changed phones, some of my previous drafts regarding this story couldn't be recovered. I was only able to recover the previous chapters and some of the earlier versions of my drafts and outline so things are very incomplete and I'm finding it hard to follow the plot I previously set because it's been a long time and you guys know that I'm also writing another story.

As for why I'm able to continue writing that story, it's because I had originally signed a contract with Webnovel for that so I have a copy of most of my drafts and outlines in my email.

Rest assured that I am not dropping this story. At the most, I'll be rewriting it to give the story more background, improve the character profiles, elaborate the world settings and make sure the story isn't as rushed because I feel that as it is now, there will be several plot holes that might not make sense in the future if I don't fix it.

So please be patient. I know I have a horrible update sched but I just don't want to publish any work that I'm not personally satisfied with.

I'll be doing a mass release on this once I've reorganized everything and I'm aiming for at least ten chapters in one go and this should be released sometime this December.

Thank you guys for staying and still supporting this story. It's because of you guys that I haven't decided to drop this story despite the long hiatus and issues I have with it so thanks a lot!

Lots of love! <3
Rina

She grew up as an orphan who lived on the streets, witnessing and experiencing the horrors and cruelty in life.

At a tender age of five, she was already a little girl with a cold and mature demeanor as she fought to survive in her harsh environment until the day she met the man who saved her from her miserable fate.

The man became her teacher, her father and the reason she lived. She did everything she was told without question. Everything. Whether it was to fight, hide who she was or conflict with what she wanted.

She would give up everything to follow him just so that she would never be alone, even her life.

In the end, she ended up doing exactly that but she had no regrets even in her dying moments. Just a peaceful smile as she stared at her benefactor's tear-stained face amidst the fire that was burning the temple they lived in.

Raising her pale, trembling hand, she wiped away the tears from her beloved master's face before she coughed out blood and gave him another smile.

"Thank you Master... for everything." she whispered before she closed her eyes and her hand fell with a thud. A small serene smile on her lips while blood trickled out.

"Little Rin, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." he gasped between heaving sobs as he clutched the body of his beloved student to him. 

Grief shaking his body as his chest clenched painfully as if something was breaking and to him there was. The young girl was not only his student but someone he considered to be his own daughter and the guilt he felt over her death almost overwhelmed him.

With a shuddering breath, he gently laid her down and kisses her forehead before straightening up.

"My little flower, be at peace. Master will make things right."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light slowly emanated from his body and enveloped the young girl blinding those who surrounded the temple before an explosion occured, leaving nothing behind.

Unbeknownst to the girl, her soul who was supposed to descend to the netherworld was encompassed by a warm, bright glow until it all slowly faded. Just like that, all the things she has ever known, ever had and ever met disappeared and everything changed.

Then she opened her eyes.

Hey guys, the author here. I've been feeling better, but not quite there yet. And as I have sat here trying to write, I've been thinking. This story is something I want to keep writing as I enjoy it a lot, but as it sits, I'm struggling to continue. I'm finding it hard to write this with out any planing and all that I do write, fells forced. I wanted this story to take readers on a journey that both you and I would enjoy. I honestly can't continue this with it as it is now.

That is why I want to ask you guys this. Would you be mad if I rewrote this as a system story, one that will not make him overpowered. Logan, would still have his backstory as a soldier, doing a great deed of his home world, and getting rewarded. I already have this as a simple outline, no real story written yet, just simple ways he interacts with others and the system. The reason I bring this up, is so that I can generate missions and scenarios I can work off of, as I am a novice writer.

So far for the system, I have the following:

Stats: Name, race, and age, Special points (Like Fallout game series simplified, 1 being the worst; 10, being the best) S= Strength P=Perception E =Endurance & aura C=Charisma  I= Intelligence A= Agility L=Luck

Abilities: None overpowered abilities, things from anime/manga/games are there but cost a lot and drain aura fast (Example: Sharingan price 1,000,00 system points and heavy aura drain)

Titles: Give small boosts to small things.

Shop: Where he can buy the things he needs/wants Categories: Weapons, Armor, Skills, and Misc.

Missions: Where Missions/Objectives will appear.

This is just the simple outline I have already. I might add more if this is okay with you.

Please let me know your feelings in the comments.

As the grandmaster who founded the Demonic Sect, Wei WuXian roamed the world in his wanton ways, hated by millions for the chaos he created. In the end, he was backstabbed by his dearest shidi and killed by powerful clans that combined to overpower him. He incarnates into the body of a lunatic who was abandoned by his clan and is later, unwillingly, taken away by a famous cultivator among the clans—Lan WangJi, his archenemy. This marks the start of a thrilling yet hilarious journey of attacking monsters, solving mysteries, and raising children. From the mutual flirtation along the way, Wei WuXian slowly realizes that Lan WangJi, a seemingly haughty and indifferent poker-face, holds more feelings for Wei WuXian than he is letting on.

The bell had already rung, making everyone walk to their seats to settle down. The moment Professor Leon came in, they took out their notebooks and pen, waiting for him to start the class formally.
Angeal looked at the girl beside her who still seemed to be in a daze. Feeling worried, she bit her lip as she secretly typed on her phone below her desk then showed her the text.
"Are you okay?"
Frey's eyes reflected confusion as she slightly shook her head to answer Angeal's question. When Frey's eyes landed on Dharvey's head in front of her, she kicked her seat, making the red haired girl look back.
"What," she whispered and Frey squinted her eyes at her.
"It's your fault!"
Dharvey grinned playfully as she mouthed, "You're welcome," making Frey roll her eyes at her.
It was her first time getting the attention of many people so until now, Frey still felt embarrassed, especially with how Arvid reacted when he saw her and how he dealt with the boys commenting about her. 
"Okay, we will not be having a lesson today—"
"Yeah!"
Everyone in the room rejoiced as they heard the professor's first sentence this morning. Seeing their reactions, the professor sighed as he banged both of his hands on the table, getting their attentions. 
"Are you high school students, seriously?"
Hearing their professor's voice laced with anger, everyone silenced as he furrowed his brows then continued speaking. 
"Now listen up because I won't have to repeat the instructions."
Students now opened their notebooks and listened intently as the professor told them the instructions of the activity that they would have to prepare for. 
"Compose a group having five members. You are to choose your own group mates. Afterwards, talk within your group and choose a short story written in your course outline and you will do a role play of that on Monday, the week after next week."
The professor wrote down the criteria on the board as basis for scoring and the students wrote it down on their notebooks. Afterwards, the professor turned his back to look at them then continued explaining. 
"I will not be around for the whole week next week, meaning we would miss three meetings. I will be representing the university for a seminar but in order for you not to slack, chosen group leaders of each group should inform me if a member or some members was or were absent during practices."
Further hearing the instructions, the students continued writing on their notebooks, and some were already looking for their members for the group work. 
"Since we would not be meeting for three days, I hope you guys practice and I hope you guys would show me quality on the day of the performance. We would be tackling a lot of stories that so you better be listening as well. No practicing during the performance day. Understood?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good," Professor Leon sighed then gave them a small smile. "I will give you the whole period today to plan for your presentation. Give me your one fourth sheet of paper with your names then the story you have chosen. Please do not repeat the story if it is already taken," he added, making one student raise their hand already. 
"We call dibs on The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe!"
Hearing this, Arlo looked at Angeal then spoke in a rush. 
"Angeal, hurry! Look at the course outline and choose a story for us! Come on!"
Feeling pressured by Arlo, Angeal furrowed her brows as she skimmed on the stories found on their course outline. Frey, Arvid and Dharvey looked on the paper she was holding as well as they waited for Angeal to decide for their group. 
As the girl read the titles found on the course outline, her fingers followed as she chose what she thinks is perfect for the group.
God Sees the Truth but Waits by Leo Tolstoy, The Last Leaf by O. Henry, Heart of Darkness by Jospeh Conrad, The Lady with the Dog by Anton Chekhov... none of these titles got her attention until she saw a simple title but had great morality on it. 
Angeal's eyes widened as she pointed on it a number of times, making Arlo raise his hand to call dibs on their story for their performance. 
"Our group chose The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant!"
"Damn!"
The other group behind them clamored as they clicked their tongues, finding another story for their group. 
"Good choice! The story has a great moral to it," Professor Leon complimented their choice, making the four look at Angeal. 
"Hey... what's the story about," Frey asked as Angeal searched for the story then showed them the summary found on Google. 
Mathilde Louisel, the main character of the story, is a pretty woman with high standards, who's married to a man who only lived simply. They lived a simple life, but Mathilde craves for wealth. She is envious of her friend Jeanne, for living a very extravagant life.
Mathilde received an invitation for a ball. Instead of being happy, she was angry she and complained to her husband of not having anything extravagant to wear. Loving his wife dearly, her husband gave her money to buy herself a dress for the ball. 
Having already bought a dress, Mathilde then complained to her husband that she had no jewelry to compliment it. Her husband suggested that she borrow a necklace from Jeanne instead which in turn, she lent a necklace for her for the gala.
At the night of the ball, Mathilde already enjoyed by dancing and by being a socialite. When it was time for them to go home, she noticed that her necklace was missing and was nowhere to be found. 
Feeling bad about it, Mathilde who was not working, was forced to work in order to earn money for the necklace she had lost. She had not communicated with her friend as well and had not told her that she had lost the necklace she borrowed. 
Having to earn already 36,000 franks after many years, the heavy work doubled Mathilde's age, making her beauty wither. When she met with her friend Jeanne, she apologized and had given her the necklace she bought with the money. 
Jeanne was flabbergasted at first to have received the jewelry. She laughed then told her that the necklace was fake, and told her that Mathilde had worked herself up too much for nothing, when the necklace originally was only 500 franks. 
This in turn gives the lesson of honesty and being contented with whatever was blessed to the person. 
"Woah," Arvid reacted as he looked at Angeal in front of him. "You chose a good story for us indeed," he added making Angeal grin from ear to ear. 
She had already read this story when she was in elementary in their mansion's library and she considered it one of the best short stories with great morals in it. Of course, she chose this for them!
"So we only have three characters then," Frey commented, making Dharvey smirk as she pointed on Mathilde's name on the phone. 
"I will act Mathilde," Dharvey volunteered, making the four of them nod in agreement.
"Yeah, you suit her well. I bet you could pull it off," Frey commented making Dharvey nod in satisfaction.
"Yeah—hey!" She squinted her eyes at Frey, making the girl beside her laugh in a teasing manner. "Is that a compliment or something else?"
Frey feigned ignorance as she shrugged her shoulders. 
"Whatever. I dunno!"
Dharvey rolled her eyes at her as Arvid looked at Angeal then asked a question. 
"Who do you think fits for Mathilde's husband?"
Angeal looked at Arvid and Arlo for a few seconds, She puffed her cheeks as she thought to herself who would be the best person to portray the character. 
Mathilde's husband as a character is submissive as he would always do anything to make his wife happy. Knowing Arlo and Arvid personally, she knew that Arvid was more domineering compared to Arlo so after thinking for a while, Angeal pointed at Arlo, giving them the answer. 
"Okay, then! I could pull this off!"
"Yeah," Dharvey nodded as she teasingly smiled at Arlo. "You seem to be the guy easily pushed around," she added, making those who heard her laugh. 
"Heeeey~!" Arlo looked at Angeal as he pointed at himself. "Do I seem that way, Angeal?"
The girl nodded slowly, making the others laugh more. 
"That's why she chose you, stupid," Arvid chimed in then Arlo held his chest, as if he was in pain. 
"Ooh, my heart... I am seen as a pushover," he said but then he smiled, revealing his perfect white teeth. "At least I am kind, though! That's for sure," he added, making Frey link her arm with Dharvey's.
"Then I guess I'd be Jeanne! I would like to insult Mathilde for being stupid, assuming that the necklace was expensive."
The two boys laughed as Dharvey lightly hit the back of Frey's head. 
"So what will the two of us be doing," Arvid asked, making Angeal type on her phone to answer. 
"We will be directing and doing the props at the same time," she said, making the others nod in agreement. 
"Great! Now that we have these in mind, let's read the whole story then to fully grasp how the characters are for acting," Arlo suggested then the five of them proceeded with searching the story on their phones then started reading. 
This is their first group work together, and they seemed to be looking forward to it already!

"Devin, do you love me?"

Hearing her question that had snapped him out of his thoughts, the Soul Eater opened his eyes slowly to meet her blue eyes once more. He smiled foolishly as his right hand reached out to her face, his thumb caressing her bottom lip.

"Is that a question you dare ask your husband?"

Angeal pouted like a child. 

"Tell me you love me... or I’ll cry."

Devin chuckled, making Angeal pout more as she narrowed her eyes at him. When Devin ceased his jovial laughter, he didn’t answer her question. Instead, he bent down as he pulled her closer to him, his lips smoothly landing on hers to give her a loving kiss. 

’I love you, Angeal. Before I even knew it, my heart yearned for you.’

~

Punished by the Almighty Seraphim, Devin was branded a fallen angel and was given a curse to become a Soul Eater—a being who is hungry for souls and feeds on them for sustenance.

Devin was bound on earth, looking for clues on how to cure his irrevocable curse until a desperate old man saw the Soul Eater and begged him to save his newborn granddaughter’s life.

However... it comes with the price of selling both of their souls. 

With the old man giving both of their lives to the Soul Eater, what path lies ahead for Angeal as she grows in a house full of magical immortals?

~

The Almighty Seraphim sighed, shaking herself from her thoughts. She then spoke, planting more curiosity in the mind of the Dominion who was watching over the Soul Eater. 

"Continue watching over them. She is his cure, but it will lead her to oblivion.”

~

With the Soul Eater cursed and with them eventually knowing that the sweet innocent girl he saved is the cure, will their relationship be a boon or a bane?

Will they perhaps have sweet love, forbidden love... or maybe even both?

With the given thoughts at hand, will fate bless their lives... or curse them even more?

Let us know the answers to these questions as we unravel the story of Angeal being the Soul Eater’s Possession.
