Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Orientation

*Inside the mind of Louis*

He encountered a huge domain of dark vastlands all over his surroundings, he chucked his broken pencil and ran towards the unending abyss. His mind has been clouded by a huge amount of dark thoughts, unable to withdraw his inner-creativity to create a storyline.

He puffed and took huge steps forward as he continued to search for the vain achievement that he has been dying to find ever since six months of his wasted time on doing orthodox writing.

Soon enough, he realised himself upon this glittering sound behind him. He turned around and noticed a smal beam of light, indicating that his ideas have finally reached onto it's limit.

It's not a good sign for him to react upon and tries to think of a solution to escape from collapsing upon his domain of expertise, being held for almost six years after graduating high school.

The heavy and rough breeze smashes onto him and forcefully starting to push him from his land, if he fails to withstand the breeze, he will lose none other than his skills on becoming an author.

He growled and struggled, groaning for help and mercy upon the uneasy and merciless breeze. But suddenly.....

He spotted another beam of light approaching from his left, he noticed a figure who brought lights of encouragement and hope, sooner enough...

He found an idea.

*Back towards reality*

Louis's POV

Waking up from a suddenly complicated dream is such a hassle, throughout that dream, those were my biggest nightmares.

I can feel that my body is trembling due to that dream, my fingers were mildly cold and all of my skin became sensitive so it reacted to the small breeze, giving out an allergy of cold situations.

I decided to flop out from my bed and start out my new day with my usual morning routine.

And oh yeah, I forgot.

Hello there, my name is Louis, Louis Hanaoka. Yes, you might be wondering why do I have a French name with a Japanese surname.

That's because I have a French mother and a Japanese father, a disambugation of tribes mashed together and created me, a 22 year old author who now takes a test of independence by living on a rented apartment alone.

I am also known to be biologically handsome, according to scientists because of everything I obtain/have. My mother is known to be a French fashion model and my father is known to be a professional basketball player in Shibuya.

And me? Pft, don't ask.

I then walked towards the bathroom to brush my teeth and also take the shower in one go, simply efficient for my liking.

After five minutes of singing inside the shower, I immediately wore my clothes that are awfully stacked inside my closet. I reacted.

"Holy cow, why did mom bought me these much clothes?" I asked myself with a dangerously confused and dumbfounded manner.

I inserted my left hand through the abundant amount of clothes inside my stacked closet, aiming to pick random clothes that I could wear for the day.

And it turns out, I have gotten myself a handful amount of clothes held on my hand. I got a "1) navy and white disambugation of doodles that are meant for the design of this T-Shirt of mine.", "2) white coloured cotton long pants where she bought from '3 S*conds'.", and thankfully, a red cap.

I soon wore all of the three clothes that I randomly took from my closet and immediately started the fresh day with a bang! But before writing, I must eat breakfast before..

*Louis starved to death*

(A/N : Did anyone get the reference? If any of you do, I'm glad.)

*Back to Author's POV*

Fortunate for him because he already took a shower and changed onto his outside clothes, so it is not a hassle for him to find food by going outside.

He brought his U.K. flag sling bag filled with various crucial stuff inside. He exited his room and locked the doors, so no intruders dare to rob his place that sneakily.

He used the elevator and pressed the button where it sends him into the lobby of his apartment. He arrived at the clean lobby, but his apartment he rented is not like your ordinary cheap apartment.

Yet, the interior looked outstandingly clean. He simply walked towards the lobby's exit and tapped the card onto the door, which can only be opened by people who stayed inside the apartment.

At last, exiting from the posh apartment to search for the everlasting array of restaurants provided nearby. Since he is living in Tokyo, with his unavailable parents, both of them are working overseas.

He has his own money by creating novels, since he himself is a young author whose books actually turned famous after several months of drastic change.

Then he finds himself arriving on a sushi resto as he decides to step inside to have his breakfast there. He went to his seat of choice and awaits for the sushi of his liking to come, it is one of a tradition in Japanese sushi restos, where most of the restos provides conveyor belts to bring varieties of sushi to any customer.

He then grabbed ten plates of different kinds of sushi (in terms of the fish) as he decides to stop chugging onto more of it, so his stomach won't explode after visiting the resto.

He silently greeted his thanks for the food before chowing down, it is also one of those traditions in Japan, giving thanks to the food provided for the person eating is a way to respect everything, including culinaries.

Soon enough, whilst he continued eating, he misheard a conversation between two dudes who looked like nerds on their teenage years, possibly high-schoolers, chattering about something that caught Louis off guard.

"Hey, have you heard Poppin'Party's new album?!"

"Yeah! It's : Breakthrough : ! I just heard it and they're poppin' as always!"

'Poppin'Party..?' Louis internally thought, expressing out a slightly interested expression after hearing the band he misheard.

Then Louis finished his savoury breakfast as he decided to walk around downtown to search for ideas or stuff to use for creating a new novel book.

He was located nearby Shibuya, but then he noticed a giant screen on the district he is now at, displaying a picture of Poppin'Party and another band.

Unbeknownst to the author, he was surprised that the Poppin'Party he misheard from those other people at the sushi resto before, is a girl band.

'Wait.....so those guys I just misheard are simps?' Those first thoughts popped inside his brain, having that random reaction which makes him a bit peculiar.

He then stared at the wide screen, hearing the song played at the same time, also unbeknownst to him, it is a collaboration between the two bands.

'.....They're cool.....' Louis also thought with a stunningly amazed reaction after watching the music video on the wide screen.

He then walked across the zebra cross as he decided to stroll around the district he is at now, walking past lots of shops that didn't capture his interest.

After five minutes, he then arrived at this park where he can finally gain his inner peace and actually get to figure out new ideas to make his dream job beneficial for once.

He then walked around the path where it shows visitors the common beauty of nature, green leaves getting oxygen absorbed to them, the bright sun shining bright like a really famous star, reminiscing his mother who used to be a really famous model, before starting a family, where Louis existed.

'The sun may be bright.....but it won't help me now...' Louis thought with an apologetic expression on his face, then he continued to walk around to search for ideas that are known to be hidden, and fresh at the same time, so he can grow really famous when there is a story untold towards the whole world.

Then he arrived at the beautiful scenery of a pond, lights beaming through the small, liquidy, and depth source of water that used to be hollow, like darkness.

'(Sigh)....Please give me something interesting for once.....for the love of God...' Louis internally begged for the second time, hardly closing both of his eyes on the search of a new story theme.

His mind dived deep onto the sea of mystery, his brain cells currently searching for their desirable treasure, which is something new that can fulfil his purpose of being an author.

He searched for several minutes, even though it tremendously felt ages. Soon, he gave up and decided to walk back home because it turned out that he had an unsuccessful day to bring back a new topic.

But before turning around and depressingly walking back to his apartment, there is something that actually caught his eye, something that could actually bring a sparkle upon both of his apathetic eyes.

Louis's eyes widens in pure shook and made a dumbfounded reaction after spotting an unknown terrain that is not part of his dictionary.

Something lucious and colourful appealed the disguised author, it's a completely casual-looking building that looked extremely vibrant on it's exterior side.

'What is this feeling I have right now....?'

He then stared at his hands that slowly transformed into something different and interest-catching.

'My hands felt different....'

Then he noticed that his heart rate has increased drastically, notifying the dumbfounded author as he soon tried to measure by hand.

But...

'W-Woah...! T-This is just...too fast!'

Then he tried to glance onto the building for the second time, but unfortunately, he lost sight of it and got clouded.

Louis wiped his eyes so he could fix his sight that initially seemed alright, but he couldn't spot it anymore.

"W-Wha...?"

He was dazed and utterly confused, almost impressed that he had seen something so....

Delusional.

To be continued.....
