Uno The Book
I was slowly walking to go back home and humming an out of tune music, just a random tune. It's not that something good happen, it just going home is kind of good to me.
Although I was already an adult I really love staying home, me being an introvert person have no choice but to go work my as$. If not for rent and other bills that I need to pay I would really stay at home.
" Haaah, what a tiring day " I look up and I saw the moon. It's round and captivating.
" Walking alone in night was good too, as long as this beautiful and captivating moon was here to accompany me " I whispher and look back at the pathway.
As I walk, I saw a cat that walking in the wall and jump down it walk lazily until it pass through me.
" I want to be a cat " I suddenly laugh lightly from the sudden thought.
I even envy a cat, seriously what I was thinking such a weird thought. As I continue my way home I see a new open bookstore, it's new I know because I always walk here from work to home. So I know the new store and the old one, I suddenly want to check if there's something I can read.
Yes, I know your thinking of a nerd type of person. But No, I'm not nerd I just love reading like comics, novels or any books that interest me. I also love watching some survival movies and I was interested in Chinese medicine but not interested to be a doctor. It's just interesting so I study it, it's not like I needed it when technology was so fast to upgrade.
I was also interest in Japanese way of building house from scratch like a wooden house, without using nail. It's exciting you know, I was thinking of doing it if I go to vacation and I'll try it.
I walk inside of the store and there's some teens looking at books, other's get the book they like and pay for it.
As I look around to see what's good for bed story. And I saw the book I want to read, because I saw it in the corner of the second shelf the sign of the book I like
' ABYSS ' it's was said to be very interesting story. Of course those who follow that page knew that when that page say the story was good it's means it's really a good story it won't recommend uninteresting one.
As was on my way to pay I saw some books like beastworld. A fantasy book that ficture of a beast shape shifting to a man, I also like to read some of this story.
I look at some books and I choose two books with beastman theme. I chose straight romance fantasy while the other one was a BL. Yes, I'm a YAOI reader.
Why? Have problem with that?
Don't criticize me, I even don't criticize you when you read or watch BL but can't read or watch GL (roll eye)
[A: Don't s**t with the reader, it's just that.. ahm... Just stop talking about that, ok]
Author your also the sameರ_ರ
[A: Just shut up🫣]
Well let's spear this rotten Author.
As I pay for the books and excited to go home. Of course I'm not encountering an accident or something I get home very safe and very excited for the new book.
Forget about tiredness, with books everything was wonderful. When I arrive at home I put my things in the sofa and go straight to the kitchen to drink water. I sit for a while and start preparing food for myself, just a simple ramen because I'm alone so I don't cook to much.
Don't think to much, I've been living alone and not because I don't know how to cook I'm just lazy to cook a healthy meal.
When the ramen noodles is ready to eat, I pick the book I want to read. I'll read the other book after I finish it, and because I'm off tomorrow I can read it till late night.
I was emersed by reading the book, like others my emotion was like rollercoaster. I'm mad, then I suddenly laugh and the next second I'm on the edge of rage. I feel like my emotion was really challenge by this book.
Should I kill the Author? How could he/she do this? Where's my happiness, my chear for the ml? F^ck my view in normal story was crash...
All this time I was chearing for the villain not the ml? And that all beautiful things happen in the story was just a ploy of the villain and villainess... That act like the protagonist... And the villain that I think was the real ml...
" F^ck this kind of story really good at destroying a readers point of view " as I pinch my nose in frustration.
My daily life and my work don't gave me so much stress but who make me love books? No other than my self, I was just giving my self stress.
Well the book itself was good I just didn't expect that plot twist. The real ml is the villain while the real villain was the ml, quite shocking to honest.
It's not even an transmigration or rebirth or reborn kind of story so I was shock to read that plot twist. Just thinking of those tears I shed (not really crying) I want it back!
I'll tell you what happen so that you'll understand me, well you see the story goes with the ml(villain) sad background like he's mother died at young age and his father emerse himself to work and did not pay attention to him. Like any other ml, he grow up with cold personality but soft heart to those people who knew him like his nanny, and confidant.
And like other typical story he will meet the fl(real villainess) a sunny and carefree person. He will be captivated by this person beauty and uniqueness. Here comes the villain (real ml) who love the fl(real villainess) since childhood, he will make trouble to the ml(real villain) and will make everything that the fl(real villainess) ask him like an i***t.
And what make me lose hair(not literally) is the villainess (real fl) is in love to the villain (real ml) because the villain (real ml) was her fiancee and the villainess (real fl) was love at first sight to the villain (real ml) when she saw him in the garden of imperial palace. It was the first time she saw the crown prince (real ml) and because of this she ask his father the Grand Duke of South to ask his Majesty to bestow her a royal marriage with the crown prince.
And the Grand Duke (real fl father) loves his daughter so much that he ask (pressure) the king for this marriage. Because the Grand Duke control half of the economic of the capital and much wealthier than the royal family, so the king agreed to the marriage.
Since then the villainess (real fl ) always visit the palace whenever she was free and disturb the crown prince to play or stay with her. They grow up together but the crown prince didn't love the villainess (real fl) rather he focus his love and pursue the fl (real villainess ).
And with the story goes the fl (real villainess) pretend to be bullied by the villainess (real fl) and because the crown prince is an i***t who believe in a lame plot, he believes it. He punish his fiancee and fight the ml(real villain) at same time.
Without knowing that the fl (real villainess) was in contact with Grand Duke of Northern (fake ml) and planning of rebellion against the royal family.
And of course with that much of happening in the story I feel like I waste my emotion supporting this fake protagonist. Well it's a happy ending at least, if it became tragic or sad ending I'll burn the Author, I mean the book ರ_ರ.
After I finish reading it, it's already 3 in the morning it's good I don't have work because it's weekend.
I fall asleep while thinking of that frustrating book, who ever write it be sure you have a happy (miserable) day
I'll sleep soundly (not really) and woke up from hunger so I take an online delivery I'm lazy to cook, so after doing my ritual of the day I sit in my mini salas and look at laptop thinking of what should I watch while waiting for the food.
As I was pondering what to watch, my eyes caught the other book I buy yesterday evening,
" right, I just read it and think if I should buy this kind genres " well I don't usually reading this kind of genre but it's make me curious, it's not like it will be bad.
I first read the beauty and the beast, it's a good story ( if you read this story, I won't explain it anymore) it's long but I finish it while eating my breakfast and lunch. Because I sleep very late and can't wake up early so my breakfast and lunch became one. As I emerse my self in reading and finish this book so soon. It's quite a good story but I feel sad about Bai Qingqing husbands when she return to her world.
Well it's a good reading, as I finish the book and stand up to cook for my dinner I can't sleep late tonight as I need to go out early tomorrow. So I put aside the last book and cook my dinner and go down to the park near the apartment so I could walk around before sleeping.
While walking in the park, there's still some people who's busy about their own circle, some are jugging around some walk their pet.
Me, I'm walking slowly while looking at my phone looking for update. Not paying attention to my way I bumped to someone wearing hood.
" Sorry, I was not looking " I said and pick my phone and continue my walk.
I did not pay attention to the person I bumped in and I don't know if my imagination goes wild after reading the Beauty and the beast, because I think I saw that person have a tail.
I look back after thinking that I'm seeing something but no one was there , so I just shurg and continue. It's maybe an imagination, I should not think of buying that kind of genres after I finish the last book I won't buy something like that.
As I walk back to my apartment, and look up to the sky and I saw the moon and a lot of star, it's really rare to see this much star this day because the country became prosperous nature suffer. It's really beautiful, it sometimes scary when it's this peaceful because it's give an eerie feeling.
" Me and my imagination really scary sometimes " I whispered and get inside.
Sigh, back to work tomorrow I need to recharge myself in full for energy draining work. " I'll file for leave next week " I whispher before closing my eyes... I'll go hiking next week either approved or not. I need that peace for the stress they gave to me, I'll stay in the mountain and turn off my phone so no one will disturb me.
I'll buy all the things I need for hiking, so no backies when the next week come. I'll enjoy my leave to the fullest💤
While sleeping the poor guy didn't see that one of the book he buy suddenly spark with golden light and a black smoke come out. In the room a clock man was standing near the bed, it extend his hand like he want to touch the man sleeping peacefully in the bed, but he just put his hand above it's head and whisper of some words that only he knows.
" You. Chosen. " It's say and disappear into tin air, as if it's all an imagination if someone see what happen inside of the bedroom. While the man who sleeping peacefully frown from discomfort and shifted his sleeping posture.
When morning come he take a shower and change his clothe for work and go. His hellish life start again " I really will file a leave " he clench his hand into a fist and look up cheering his self for a his plan. Work was hectic and kind of repeatedly routine that always happen, get scolded by the manager, printed out the paperwork for the meeting or agendas or projects. Revising some files and checking every details before passing it to the superior at work to check again if everything was correct and eat lunch talk with colleagues that eat together and after lunch back to work again and dinner come I eat sometimes in the cafeteria and go home but when I get hungry again after walking home I eat some ramen noodles in my house before sleeping or I sleep even I'm hungry.
Just as always it's was repeatedly routine of my daily life like a robot that set to do what his chip was program, it's repeate no matter what's happening outside.
