Chapter 0:
IISEKAI ~World Beneath The Moonlit Night~
[Disclaimer: This series is 100% made for entertainment purposes and is set in a fantastical world so it doesn’t have any direct connection with the real world.]
I didn’t remember where it actually started…
This life was really, really hell... I was born into a world where everything was fine.
Born in a friendly, caring, and comfortably middle-class family.
Yet, there were issues at school at my early age.
I struggled with low communication skills.
I found it incredibly difficult to talk to teachers or friends.
I was scared of them.
When they spoke to me, I couldn't respond.
My mind went blank, I could only stare at them or look at the ground.
Kindergarten and elementary school were the worst parts of my daily life.
I had no trouble speaking with my family; I could even joke with them.
But at school, I couldn't.
In fourth grade, I started pushing myself to get closer to my friends and talk to my teachers.
It didn't go well at first, but slowly, I made progress.
Around sixth grade, I had finally started to feel more comfortable talking to them.
My best friends would often invite me to play, and things were improving.
However, I still didn't talk much.
By the way, my grades have been improving since second grade.
That's why the teachers liked me so much.
I didn't cause problems or disrupt class.
Sixth grade was the peak.
Got almost perfect scores in every subject.
Everything was going well until the graduation exams were about to begin.
That time, a pandemic hit, and all students had to stay home.
At first, it was fun…more than a year off from school.
What elementary student wouldn't like that?
Luckily, my parents managed to stay stable financially, despite the pandemic disrupting everyone’s daily life.
Finally, the graduation results were announced, based on the final exams of sixth grade.
I placed third in the top rankings!
I was so grateful.
But then, my middle school life began…the start of my daily hell.
An online school?
A place where students stayed home and attended classes through a device, usually a laptop or PC.
Actually this is where everything goes worse.
I can't socialize with my friends anymore.
Everything goes into lockdown.
I stayed at home attending this ’online school’ thingy.
I was quite diligent at first due to this ‘online school’ being something new, but day by day I got even worse, I have become quite lazy.
Anyway the funniest parts are those times people lagged and some dramas we all made.
Finally I graduated and became a 2nd grade middle schooler.
My lazy days...
The things that I did was always watching anime all the time and I also have started playing more games.
Amazing fantasy and storyline.
You call it, isekai, fantasy, romcom, supernatural, magic; all checks out.
Long-achieving, strategy, fighting games
I got more and more attracted to these and it goes on until the middle of the year.
Some students started going to offline school because the pandemic has started to fell down.
This was my worst choice.
I chose to continue online school due to my laziness.
Who could even know if we just sneaked out to play some games or sleep lol.
It could've been better for me to join them in offline class and start some friend relationships for the future, but I chose poorly.
Not like normies that would just happily go to school to finally meet their friends to have fun.
I just can’t feel that feeling.
Things that happened can't be redone.
Graduated and became a 3rd grade middle schooler, such a quick 3 years.
This time it's a must for all students to attend school offline, but of course with a medical mask.
Yep I'm back being alone.
Nobody talked to me and I didn't have the passion to start a talk.
Even more…I feel tired and sleepy everyday, which makes me always sleep in class.
I did study and finish those tasks.
I got some decent grades, but yeah kinda dumb that I don't have any friends.
Group tasks might be the worst.
Noone chooses me and I’m not brave enough to ask them out like those popular and outgoing people.
Months by months passed and without realizing, it's almost near the end of my middle school days.
The final tasks and final test are getting near.
In most of the group tasks I ended up as drop-out leftover.
Thankfully one big task (made of many subjects combined) has each class split into two groups.
With the friends from that group we went out together.
It ends pretty quickly that I don't have that much fun, but yeah it was my first time hanging out with my friends.
"It was tiring, wasted a lot of my time and energy, but not actually bad," I said.
The days have finally come to an end and the final test appears as the last boss.
I studied like hell, finishing them all for the endless rest lol.
Over a week passed by… "it's finally over, I can rest peacefully now," I said.
After finishing some school activities, day-offs, final school events, school festivals, it was announced that everyone got 100% graduation.
It was pretty amazing to look at the graduation performance and it feels quite quick.
Not like last time, I ended up like a normie with average good grades.
I graduated and spent time with more animes, games, and finally the peak happiness of my life:
Holiday with my family.
It was very great.
I swam in the sea, played games with my family, watched anime with my family, and many other fun things.
I might not be that good at interacting with people, but family is still my family.
A month has passed and it's the time for my high school days to start.
I was planning to become more social at the start and became a diligent student that studied all the time.
The so-called highschool debut.
I prepared to make it a blast, but yeah it failed miserably.
I messed up my debut.
I stayed as the same silent, cool, slightly smart, sleepy student in class.
"My body can't survive this so it's better for me to enjoy my high school days to the fullest, not to suffer."
My 1st year high school days ended peacefully.
To be honest it was quite enjoyable…my classmates were friendly and it was fun to be in class.
Though I still don’t have any close friends.
It’s all just merely classmates-friends.
I graduated and became a 2nd grade high schooler.
After years and years, my hobby of imagining superheroes, people with superpowers, and alternate worlds has awakened to its fullest.
I made up my mind.
During the holiday, I started writing a novel.
This is where it all starts…
I started writing a novel about a world where everything exists.
Humans, animals, demons, angels, gods, aliens, souls, undeads, monsters, dragons, dinosaurs, spaceships, and so much more.
They all live in ‘this’ world and can interact with each other as an equal.
Even magic and the deads’ souls exist here.
The magical armor, gear, equipment that people dreamt of are also everywhere.
Starships, mecha robots, sci-fi.
Also the ruler of this world is The CREATOR (myself).
"Hmm what should I call it..?”
“A world filled with people that has superpowers…there are bad guys…?”
I thought for a while.
"What about 'World That Longs for Heroes'? Well that sounds great,” I said as I finally decided on the title.
I’ve done my best on making the characters, creating the villains, their stories and backstories, their friendships.
Heroes and their friends fighting stronger and stronger villains.
Demons, monsters, gods, even more.
And it finally came to an end after a few weeks.
It ended with Hero Azuardeno Rei beating The CREATOR himself.
I posted my last chapter, it wasn't as I expected.
Many readers like my novel and many don't.
Yeah it was kinda cliche and a bit trash.
2 more days before my first day of 2nd grade of high school starts.
I reviewed my own novel, reading it from the start to the end.
These were my childhood-made characters that I changed a bit for my novel so it's kinda pretty good, but in the end there is something that is missing…
They can interact with each other, they have friends, they have families, they have someone they love.
A wholesome interaction and friendship…teamwork.
They succeeded, they saved the world, they’re not the same as me, a nobody, an exiled person.
“It’s already too late for me to fix my life…”
“…It’s all ruined…I’m destined to be alone…”
“…I don’t know what I will become in the future, how others will see me…”
“…What will happen to me? Will I have a girlfriend? Will I create a family?”
“…I can’t even trust humans in the first place…how much words and love they said, but I can still sense an endless void of lies…“
“…something I can’t understand…this is why I hate them…humans are egoists…friendship isn’t real…it’s just a lie…”
“…every time I try to get close to them I always feel this gap that I can’t understand…their feelings…it’s all just fake…”
“…this is why I decided to be alone…I isolated myself from my surroundings…and this is where I am…”
“…CALL ME A TRASH…BECAUSE I AM…WHATEVER I TRY IT ALL ENDS WITH A FAILURE!!!”
I brainstormed myself with envy. I looked at them, comparing them to myself, seeing myself being completely upside down to them.
“I regret creating this trash. I want to create a better one.”
“These guys don't know how deep the real world is.”
“They shall know the feeling.”
”I won’t accept them with those happy endings.”
“THOSE SWEET DREAMS AND HAPPY ENDINGS DON’T EXIST…IT’S JUST MERELY AN ILLUSION CREATED BY FICTION…”
After speaking loudly, I stopped and I looked up to the ceilings. “If only I can be reborn again or maybe I can go inside this peaceful world…”
A day passed and the night finally came.
The night before the day of school.
I checked my novel, nothing changed, the comments are similar as always.
“This thing is absolute trash, why did people like it?”
The thing is I haven’t slept for weeks due to writing the novel.
I finally realized that my body is reaching my limit.
I took a seat on my chair and looked up to the ceilings while leaning on my back.
“Oh God, just take my life already…from this trashy world….”
“At least, make me cry one last time…for the mistakes and sins I have made…”
“As I thought…I have even lost my feelings…”
“Have I been abandoned…?”
Suddenly, my heart started beating so fast and I couldn't move.
I felt like I collapsed, but suddenly it turned bright.
“I’m outside?”
I took a look at my surroundings..
The usual trashy world I can see everyday.
With their pollution and loud noises everywhere.
Still, something doesn’t feel right.
I can see my house and I don’t remember these environments.
“Where is this?”
This can’t possibly be a dream…
“Have I gone so insane that I can’t even remember what happened- HUH?”
My finger moved in the air and some kind of game command appeared.
It has the name “The CREATOR: Azalzev” with “unlimited on all statuses”
I'm familiar with this name…
That means…
I got transported to my own creation world?!
“Hehehehe…HAHAHAHAHAHA…since I got reincarnated here… it’s time to REWRITE!”
“I shall have revenge on you heroes…”
“I shall show you the deepest of the darkest abyss…the world that was carved right into my own mind…you all shall feel the suffering of this unfair world!!!”
“I’ll recreate, destroy, and…RULE THIS WORLD FOREVER…”
“WELCOME TO MY PLAYGROUND…LET’S ALL HAVE SOME FUN SHALL WE, HEROES?!!!!”
“In the end, people perceive their own world with their viewpoint. What kind of world would you make, Azalzev The CREATOR?”
“Eh-?”
