Chapter 0:

It's me

The Reader


Chapter 0:

I, Oster Greinich, am a first year highschool student. I am just an average student who does work like an average student and that’s why I was marked as an average student by my teacher. I didn’t really used to care about their remarks. In fact, I don’t even improve after all these scolding. I just want to live a peaceful life; just me and my smartphone. Yes, this sounds boring but this is the life I want to live on. I don’t care how society would perceive me, or how my family members would feel about it. I sound a like a sadist and also like an idiot, as the wish which I want to be true is far from possible.

If one day, I wake up and announce everybody, that I will leave school and just lie down on my bed and read and read and read and read web novels. They will get the wrong idea about me and interpret me as a mad guy.

I don’t hate my society, but they are quite a nuisance to my life. They act like all high and mighty and defiled thoughts of other people with the news of others misery and somehow they find joy in it. It’s ironic, isn’t it? They shit talk about others failure. While on the other hand, they themselves are living an average life. In fact, it’s even irony of me to judge them. I, myself, who desire for an average life.

I should rephrase it again. I hate my society. I can’t stand a minute talking to them. This hatred wasn’t born because of a single unpleasant moment. It’s the result of multiple events. They are the reason, why my parents started to scold me every day.

I sound like a kid who is immature and is angry for a trivial matter of his life. But,’ is there any wrong about being immature? Is my wish too childish to be true? Why am I the only one who thinks this way? How people usually think about their life? ‘

I never got the answers of it. But the only thing I got is misery as the days progressed. I was never interested in romantic relationships in my middle school.

But there was a girl who was also a reader just like me. I was too shy to ask her questions about her web novel journey. I wanted to ask her so many things. ‘What’s her favorite Web novel? What genre she likes? What character was her favorite?’

She was not that much famous like other girls in my middle school. But her life was atleast better than mine. It still hurts to this day, that I never got a chance to talk with her, and I passed my middle school with a bit of regret.

It was by coincidence that I come to know about she also reads web novel.

I am now a student in Augin High school. I have my first day in school after two days. I don’t know why but I still hope to meet her again. I never got to know anybody who has similar interest. So, I long for a discussion about it. I am also a human and I also can’t live without talking with a person. I hope my highschool life will be not hectic and I can forget my miserable life by reading.
