LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 1: Chapter 1
<>
Where am I? Who am I? That's the first thing I want to know. All I can see right now Is just endless darkness. I don't know how long I have been here but I know it has been long.
The only thing I could do was wander around in the darkness without any guide.
I keep on wandering and wandering. And I was wondering how long I should stay here. I don't know what will happen if I keep staying here with nothing but darkness.
After a long time of wandering, I was now on the edge of bordering that I thought that I would stay here forever.
But that thought was betrayed when I finally caught sight of a source of light. When I see that I then run and head to where the light is.
I kept on running and running and running and saw that the light kept getting bigger the closer I get
And finally after running for a long time. I finally reach the light and immediately enter it. And when I entered the light I was baffled by what is aw right now.
In front of me is a round object sitting on the cracked fabric of reality. It emits an otherworldly stellar aura. In the middle, there can be seen a four-pointed purple star.
When I see this I truly don't know what it is. But the aura it's giving me is giving me hibby-jibby. Someone then suddenly materializes in front of me. I don't know what it is because my consciousness is starting to fade away, but I'm pretty sure it looks like a glowing human.
Why am I losing consciousness? Even though I stay in that dark place for who knows how long. I tried to keep my consciousness awake, I could see the human thing walking toward me.
When it was near me, for a brief moment I could see a smirk on its glowing face before it flicked my forehead. Making me lose my consciousness.
=====================
I then open up my eyes and see a familiar ceiling. I then get up from my bed, shaking my head and thinking what just happened.
"What was that?"
I said as I got up to see that I was in my room.
"What was that I'm seeing and feeling right now?"
I ask myself because It feels like I have been in a place that is pretty much complete darkness, and that there is nothing there except the only thing I can do is just float for who knows how long. And then after who knows how long, I found myself in Space that I didn't what it was to make of, and found that giant round thing sitting in a crack of what seems to be Reality.
I kept on thinking until I heard a noise from my side.
*ring ring*
When I looked to the side, I saw it was just an alarm that showed it was 6.30. When I was about to leave bed, I suddenly headache that it's like it would split my head in two.
"GAAAAH!!"
I clutch my head from the pain that I'm experiencing. While I was in pain a stream of memories then suddenly flowed inside of my brain. It was a memory of someone that I didn't know of.
I continue to clutch my head and endure the pain that is starting to feel unbearable, but I push it through. The pain continued until a full minute passed the pain subsided. When the pain is finally over I then grab something to help me stand up. To gather my thoughts of the memories that just flowed into my head.
"damn… that was very painful. If it goes for another minute then I would have fallen 6 feet underground from just how painful it was."
I said because I was truly at my wit's end there. But enough about that and look into the memories that I just got now.
The memory that I got is the memory of my Previous Life as Vyn. The memory contains all of my memory from kid to my Death. In my previous life, I was an Orphan, I don't know who my Mother and Father were but I didn't care since they just left me when I was still a baby, so I couldn't care less about them.
And I grew up in an Orphanage not a good one or bad one. It was around the middle of those two but, at least I grew fond of it as I grew up.
But as years passed, I grew up and learned many things about being self-sufficient since I live alone. I don't know when I became an Otaku but I know it was when I was still a high school. I found it when I was surfing through YouTube to watch some how to Video, that is until I came across an anime. The first Anime that I watch is… hmm… what was it again… I forgot… but After watching that anime I instantly became hooked on it and read many Manga, Manhwa, Manhua, Light Novel, and Game.
Funny enough one of the Games that I once played looked exactly like me and the name and voice are the same, though personality-wise this Character and I are very different. I don't know who in the company thought of using my look and name, I don't know how they got someone who voiced it that is identical to me, but they sure do have some guts to do that. And because of that, it isn't very pleasant to deal with some people who have played the game and see someone who is like me.
But whatever, I will let it be. Time then passed by again and I graduated from school and went to college I, was still an Otaku though I made some friends who are just like me an Otaku. Though they sometimes made fun of me because I look like one of the characters, it kind pisses me off.
After I graduated college I immediately did every kind of Job there is, so essentially I became something of Jack of All Trade. What's more, I was even conscripted into the Military just to know about the Military and Guns. I even have to read a lot of Medical stuff if there is something happen. And I don't care if some of the Jobs are hard or not, as long as I earn money for me to live, and fulfill my Otaku needs, that is enough.
Along the way, I found the Girl of my life, two of them. And they are perfectly fine with each other and me having two or more girls, in fact, they even encouraged me to get more girls if I wanted which I rejected since I didn't have time, and the Money to get more girls.
And when I was about to propose to them, I suddenly felt myself being pushed by someone behind me. I don't know who it was, but at the last moment is that I saw a Speeding Truck, and there it was, the person named Vyn had died.
When I remember that I can't help but feel melancholy. The fact that I can't say Goodbye to my friend, the caretaker who took care of me when I was still a child, and most of all those two lovely girls.
"damn it…"
I said quietly because that was the only way I could let out my sadness. I then go and lie down again on the bed again. Trying to sweep does thought out of my mind and not be negative right now.
But let's think of something else so that I don't have negative thoughts.
"right… now that I have my previous life memory, I know everything."
I said because I know what will happen in the future since I have reincarnated as the protagonist of a man named Masachika Kuze. And when I remember everything that happened in all my life, I can see a resemblance of myself in Masachika when he was still a kid, though the desire inside me to want my parent whom I didn't have in my previous life, to praise me for everything that I have achieved in this life has probably been etched inside depth of my soul. But It was all for naught, and I kinda understand why I became stump.
It's like you are trying to change fate even when you sacrifice your life for it but in the end, you only find it to be all for nothing.
And right, let's move to the thing that I saw just before after I got out of that Darkness even though I don't want to think about but it seems that I have to confront it.
But That thing that I saw is called a Cocoon of Finality. Cocoon of Finality is an imaginary entity that resides in an unknown imaginary space. It is described by someone called Kevin Kaslana as an "extraterrestrial manipulator of fate". It manipulates Honkai's energy and creates Herrschers. Its purpose is to "embrace" civilizations, however, it must do so through bloody trial-and-error spanning millions of years when it resets its target's planet back to a past state whenever the civilization threatens to go extinct.
And Herrscher or Lawmaker, Lawman, or Ruler or whatever you call is an envoy, or rather apostle of the Honkai, who inhabit human vessels that are capable of adapting to it. Herrschers, as their title suggests, effortlessly transcend human capabilities, are capable of bending worldly laws to their whim, and command entire armies of zombies and Honkai Beasts, to overwhelm and destroy human civilization, the goal of the Honkai.
How I know this is because I played a game called Honkai Impact 3rd. No more like Depression Impact because of how dark and sadder the story is. And the developer keeps giving us depression after depression after depression that I just kinda quit in the middle of the chapter.
But I do sometimes watch the animation for the game, and when I see the Tuna grow up, I can't help but cry a river and that Graduation Trip.
"wait!"
I then sat upright and started talking to myself about it.
"Why did I have to see a Cocoon of Finality? And who was that when I was about to lose consciousness? That's not Kiana that's for sure. Is it the Cocoon itself or…"
I continue to contemplate what I saw right now. But I stopped contemplating right now because I remember that today is Monday.
"shit, I forgot that I have school right now."
I then look at the clock and see that it 06.55. that there is still some time for me to be ready and go to school. I then immediately go to the bathroom to take a bath.
After 30 minutes in the bathroom, I then immediately go to my room and change my clothes. The Seiren Private Academy consists of black trousers, brown shoes, and a light brown V-neck shirt with a white collared shirt underneath. It is paired with a black tie and a light grey blazer worn over the entire outfit.
Once I do that I then grab my school bag and immediately go and run toward the school. I kept on running and running, but there was something that I caught that was abnormal. I have been running from home, but why do I not get tired?
But I don't have time for that to continue to run. I then finally catch a glimpse of the school. And I slow down and finally reach the school, not very tired from all the run. I then walk through the hallway.
But I found it weird that people kept murmuring while looking at me. But I digress, I continue to look for the classroom. Until I found one, when I entered the people were surprised by me coming in.
I didn't care about it and went to my table. And immediately sat down and continued on my contemplation about this morning. On who that being is that I saw beside the Cocoon of Finality. I just hope that it's not who I think it is because if so then this world and its people are pretty much screwed since the Technology here is not as Developed well enough to fight the Honkai and the Herrscher at the same time.
Another thing I want to ask is why I got reincarnated. I don't believe that it's because of God's Blunder or Mistake since I don't believe in God. I am a Firm believer in Cause and Effect since everything was made because there was a Cause that made an Effect, just like how the Universe was made because of the Big Bang.
That is still a scientific thought and not mine. I continue to ponder. Until I heard someone in front of me.
"is that you, Masachika?"
I then look up to see a young man with a shaved head a brown colored eyes. and beside him is a young man with naturally light brown hair and brown eyes. The two were Takeshi and Hikaru.
"Hm? Morning, Takeshi. And what do you mean by that?"
I ask because Takeshi said something like it wasn't me or something.
"Well, It's because you look very different than usual."
"what do you mean?"
I ask since I don't know what he's talking about. I still look the same no? Though on the inside.
"Well, your hair and eyes are different you know."
"different? Like what?"
I'm still not getting it by what they are saying. Until Hikaru brought out his phone, opened the camera set it to the front camera, and showed it to me.
"here, have a look at yourself."
when I saw my new look, I was completely stunned by this, because what the hell.
"what the hell? Why is my hair Complete Silver White and Golden Amber eyes!?"
"eh? You didn't change your hair and wear Contact Lenses?"
"no, I didn't. It was normal when I was still at home."
And what's more it's the same colored as what I used to have in the past. My hair in the past has a Silver white hair and a Golden Amber color. Though minus the hairstyle and the Glasses since in my previous life I have a bad eyesight that I need to wear a Glasses all the time.
"I see… I thought that you dyed your hair and wore contact lenses."
"why the hell do I wear that?"
"Well, just… you know, to impress Princess Alya?"
"if I do that then she will scold me you know."
"fair."
Takeshi said this because he knows very well how strict Alya is when It comes to thing such as Rules since she is a part of Student Council.
The three of us then started talking with each other. I have to say when I talk with them, It's like I'm talking with my best friend from my previous life.
We continue talking with each other until I notice someone from the side.
"hm, oh, morning Alya."
I said and saw it was a young girl. She appears to be in her teenage years, with silver hair, styled into a half ponytail that catches the morning sun, further accentuating her distinctive features. She has almond-shaped eyes, reminiscent of glittering sapphires, which enhance her striking presence. Her figure is marked by her height, which is considerable for a girl, and her elongated limbs. Her hourglass silhouette, with its refined proportions, epitomizes a physique that is both aspirational and admired globally.
When I see her, I immediately know who she is. I know where I am since I've become someone the Protagonist of this story.
The girl beside me is Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou, and she is the main female protagonist in the Novel. When she saw me it took a second for me to process and say.
"you're Masachika Kuze-kun right?"
"Yes, that's me."
"I see, but I have to ask, why did you dye your hair and wear contact lenses?"
She asked because I look very different compared to what I used to look like.
"I don't know, it was still normal when I was still at home but I guess it might change when I was heading to school. If Hikaru and Takeshi hadn't said anything I might have not noticed it."
"heeeh."
She gives me a look like she doesn't believe me but like I don't know what to say. It suddenly changes without me knowing.
Me and the boys then continue our Talk. And I could see at the corner of my eyes, that Alisa was peeking at me.
[that look is not that bad.]
I heard Russian from the side and saw that it was from Alisa. But why is it that I understand what she said? In my past life, I didn't study Russian language well I studied it just a little but I'm not that fluent, I just understand the basics. Is it because of the Knowledge that Masachika has accumulated?
"hm, what did you say?"
"Nothing, I'm just saying that you don't look good with that new look you have."
She said while smirking at me. I could see that she was trying to tease me. But I'm sorry, Alya. Right now you are facing a man who has two in his Previous Life.
"is that so."
We then hear a bell ringing, signaling that it lesson is now in session since everyone is going back and taking a seat.
=====================
<
A teacher then comes into the room and notices Masachika's hair and eyes that stand out aside from Alisa's hair silver and blue eyes.
"Kuze-kun, why is your hair White and your eyes Golden?"
"sorry, Sensei. But I too don't know about that. My hair and eyes were normal when I was still at home but after I was here, it already turned white and golden."
Masachika said because he too doesn't know shit about why his hair is like that. he almost looks like what his previous life looked like.
"I see. Well, enough about that, and let's get into the lesson."
The teacher then started to teach, and Masachika then tried to find his book under the desk and saw that he didn't have the book on him for the study. He then looks to Alya and whispers to her.
"psst, Alya."
"what?"
"I'm sorry but do you think you could share? I forgot to bring my chemistry book."
"You forgot your book again?"
replied Alya, rolling her eyes irritably.
"Y-Yeah, I probably left it at home."
"*Sigh* Fine."
"Thanks!"
Masachika then hastily scooted his desk next to hers.
"How do you forget your book so often? You don't seem to have changed one bit even after starting high school."
"Hey, can you blame me? We have way too many textbooks. And what's more, I have too many things to think about this morning that I forgot about. so cut me some slack would you?"
Masachika said because it was true, there were so many books that it stated in the Novel that most student would put their book under their desk or in their locker. And there is also about the matter he has in the morning.
So it's not his fault for not remembering things, like ask anyone you know, how would they do in this kind of situation. For people who don't know the scale of what the Cocoon of Finality is would just think it's no big deal, and deal with it when they have the time.
But anyone who knows what it is will think over and over again about what to do just to save themselves and those around them.
Alisa then shares her chemistry book with Masachika.
Masachika then continued listening to the lecture but he couldn't help but feel anxiety. And Suddenly his body becomes a lot hotter for unknown reason.
"hah, hah, hah. What? What is happening with my body?"
He muttered confused about what was going on. Alisa who is on the side, notices his abnormal breathing pattern, and his reddened face. She was quite worried for him, so she whispered to him if there was anything wrong.
"Kuze-kun, what's wrong?"
"hah, hah, I'm fine Alya. Just a little… too hot…"
"but…"
"I said, I'm fine all right. Now be a good Student and pay attention to the teacher."
He said and Alisa could only listen to him and pay attention to the teacher. And Masachika also doing the same but because of the heat in his body, it clouded his mind, Telling him to rest. He then felt like his body was shutting down to rest.
"Alya you don't mind if sleep for a bit… right?"
He said to Alya before closing his eyes and dropping his head down to the table gently.
"What?"
Alisa looks to the side seeing that he's already fallen asleep.
"Kuze-kun wake up. The teacher is still explaining."
She said and shook him by his shoulder. But Masachika isn't waking up, so she then decides to touch his forehead.
"ow, hot!"
She hissed by how hot his body is. Everyone heard her and looked to where she was, the teacher then asked her if there was something wrong.
"hm, Kujou-san, is there something wrong?"
"Sensei! There's something wrong with Kuze-kun!"
"what? Let me take a look."
The teacher made his way to Masachika and saw that he was asleep and his pattern of breathing was very rough. The teacher then touched his forehead and when the teacher touched it it felt like it could burn his hand, so he immediately withdrew his hand from his forehead.
"ow, hot!"
"sensei! Are you okay?"
"yes, I'm fine. But we need to take Kuze-kun to the hospital, his body is very hot. Someone call an ambulance."
"Yes, I'm on it."
Alisa who heard this immediately started to call an ambulance. And Masachika who is sleeping, his consciousness has drifted into another place. And on his back, without anyone noticing a Tattoo then started to create itself, which Masachika will know what it is in the near future.

Hello, this is the Author here. This is the third Fanfic that I have created and have been working on it for some time. I don't know if it's good or not, but I hope you Readers are enjoying the fanfic that I created.
Also, did I portray Alisa and others' Personalities? If not then let me know, and I will try to improve since I'm the only one who is making it and doesn't have an Editor or anything.
