"Let us go Ysa." Noctis stood up and offered his hand to escort me. By the time I was to take it, a blinding white light shot out from the sky.
'Why now?!' I freaked knowing what this bright light means.
There was a blinding white pillar of light that shot from the skies unto the lake. If I am not wrong, this was the indication of the arrival of the heroine of the novel, Jennette Thompson.
She was your typical heroine girl coming from the modern world earth. As the description says, she has long black silky hair. Her eyes were like two pairs of obsidian orbs. Her lips were thin and rosy red, and her body was slender and firm.
As the books has said, the heroine was bathed with light and hovering at the center of the pillar. The four male leads were all taken by her unique beauty that was rare in this world. Black hair was rare in this world. Our family the Broderick's were one of those that has rare black hair. But it was mostly rare to have black eyes to pair with black hair.
A person that both have black hair and eyes in this world, were either gifted with divine powers to battle evil or have black powers like the demon king himself. For the heroine's case, she was called upon the divine being known as the god of light in this world to stop the demon army and defeat the demon king.
When the light pillar disappears, the heroine will start to fall towards the lake. The four male leads rush to her rescue and saved her from drowning in the deep lake.
'I wanted to see this event is a safer distance, but now it was too late.' I thought to myself.
The impact of the pillar of light have made big waves from the lake. My location which was very close to the lake was splashed with water. Noctis and Eric were both trying to shield me from the impact.
"Ysa, hold on to me." Eric told me. I do as I was told and held onto his hand tightly. But then the last impact from the pillar of light was so huge that the force had blown me out of my hold.
"Eric!" I shouted in panic. The force tore me away from Eric and the water from the lake pulled me in.
"Alyssa!!!" I heard Eric and Noctis shouting towards me. But I was not able to do anything while the water pulled me in.
The next thing I knew, I was holding my breath. The water of the lake was in turmoil. The pillar of light was giving such a strong force that I cannot even stay afloat.
"Hah..hah.." I was able to suck up air when my head was on the surface of the water, but I was quickly sucked under once again. I tried to hold my breath as long as I can. I was getting nervous and anxious at the same time.
I tried to open my eyes under water. The blinding light was starting to fade away.
'That means it is over.' I thought to myself.
And like what I thought, the pillar of light now disappeared. The raging lake has finally started to calm down. I tried to swim back up to the surface to get a breath of air.
"Haahh… hahhh." At last I was able to breath. "I-I am alive, thank god." I felt relieved. I thought I was a goner over there. Good thing I knew how to swim.
I looked around and the water was only starting to calm down. The water's surface was still rippling from the impact but at least the surroundings were calm. I looked around trying to pinpoint how far I was pulled into the lake. That was when I saw something at the waters surface. It was stands of long black hair swaying with the ripples of the water. That was when I saw the body that the hair was connected to and it started to sink.
"Is that… the heroine?" I asked dumbfounded. I looked around searching for anyone of the male leads, but I cannot see any. "Dammit, if I don't do anything she will drown to death."
I cursed those four male leads for being late and dived under water once more. I tried to search around, but the water was not that clear to see.
'Where are you?' I thought. I cannot live with myself if I was not able to save someone that is in front of me. I am sure that my guilt will hunt me for the rest of my life.
I was searching frantically when a ray of light from the surface or the water illuminated the surroundings. I saw the long stands of hair swaying under the water and quickly swam towards her. One I got hold of her body I quickly surfaced.
"Haahh…" I breathed air once on the surface of the water once more. I cannot see the heroine's face because her hair that was a mess covered it entirely. "I think she is not breathing."
Fortunately, it was not far away from land. I quickly swam towards land and pulled the heroine up. I was frantically looking around, hoping even one of the four male leads were here to help, but I did not see anyone.
"Sh*t, I have to do this on my own." I cursed silently.
I pulled the long strands of hair out of the heroine's mouth and attempted to do CPR. I never tried this even in my past life, but I was able to learn from it in some of our first aid seminars.
"Well, here goes nothing." I said. "We are both women, so please excuse me." I started to perform CPR.
I looked at the thin rosy lips of the heroine and marveled at it. No wonder the male leads would want to kiss such tender looking lips. I blew air on the heroine's mouth two times and started to pump on her chest. I was frantically trying to save her life that I was oblivious to my surroundings.
And after a few attempts, the heroine started to cough out water. I sighed in relief and sat on the ground feeling the exhaustion.
"She is alive." I said thankfully. I smiled triumphantly with my successful first CPR.
The heroine sat up slowly and was still coughing. I patted her back to help her, that was when I started to notice something. The supposed heroine had a flat chest. I did not notice at first when I performed CPR, but it was really that flat.
'Is the heroine flat chested? I thought heroines should be full of curves.' I thought. But then I remembered the description was the heroine had a firm slender body.
But then I realized that she was wearing a boy's high school uniform. This was the typical uniform in my past life, a school uniform on earth. He was wearing black pants and a white shirt, that was now see through because it was wet. My eyes went wide seeing that she had no breasts at all, just a bare chest.
The supposed heroine had stopped coughing. She brushed her hair off her face and what I saw shocked me. Rather than a beautiful face of a teenage girl, I saw a beautiful face of a boy.
"W-Who are you?" The beautiful boy asked. "W-Where am I?"
I was shocked to the core that I cannot reply to his question. My head was swirling thinking of what just happened. Then a thought came to me.
'Is this really the same world of the novel I read.' I thought once again. 'But no, the names of the characters are the same. But what if… no it cannot be. Is this a BL novel!'
My favorite author that wrote this novel has never written BL before. I tried to remember the contents of the novel that I read but I cannot seem to remember that the main character was male.
'There are only two possibilities. That the novel I have read was really BL, or this world was just similar to the that novel but have entirely different story or reality.' I thought.
If it is the second possibility, then I must rethink everything that I have planned for. The future I thought I was going to happened and all the contingency plans I have made will all be a waste.
