How strange is the game of life, isn't it? Don't know when what will happen. You cannot know whether what happened today will happen tomorrow or whether tomorrow will happen next or not. It is impossible to know. Life can do anything at any time.
Life is powerful; it is not accustomed to anyone. Whether you want to think about your future as much as what you will do next, but whether life will allow it to be the same, cannot be ascertained.
There is so much power in life that it can make a rich beggar and a beggar a millionaire. Nothing can ever be said about life. It is capable of doing many miracles. It can make truth a lie and a lie into a reality.
I have seen one with my own eyes out of the many miracles of life.
So let me start with my name.
My name is Kazuhiko Kazuo 19-year-old second-year student studying at a state's top university.
When I went to give my entrance exam, I used to get less than half of the answers in that exam. When I reached home after giving the exam, I told my family members that I would drop out as my paper did not go well. I was fine in my studies, so my family members also agreed. And I started preparing for the entrance again.
When the exam result came, I thought, let's see how many numbers have come because I knew that I couldn't get admission to any college, but still, I gathered courage and entered my form. Checked my result online.
When I saw my result, I got the application form to appear in K.L.M., the top university in the state.
At first, I thought that if I had opened the result of someone else, I again opened the result after filling in my credentials and found the same application form again. Seeing this, my happiness knew no bounds.
The paper, which I used to know even half, got the application form from the state's top university. I had given all the answers by ruffling because I did not know anything in the paper. And my words turned out to be more than half right. I really came to understand what a miracle is at this time.
-Kazuo Now go to sleep, tomorrow you have to come home too, it has been two months since you came home, you should sleep early or else you may miss your train.
My home was very far from the university, and I had to take a hostel here as soon as I got admission. And till the university classes go on, I have to stay in the hostel, due to which it is not possible to go home. And that's why sometimes I don't even go home
"I will go to sleep now; there is a good wind blowing on the balcony outside; I will go after taking some air."
Now that you have been admitted to a big college, you will have to face some difficulties. Now it is a holiday from today. There has been no sight of a hostel here for a month. So let's enjoy the view a little. At home, this view will not be able to get a little
-Kazuo, leave after a while, or you will really miss the train, and then you will trouble us.
Mother really does not spare even on the telephone. I get scolded at any time. Due to this scolding, I have never felt lonely. It has become a habit to take proper scolding on the telephone every day.
"Well, I'm leaving soon. Leave this talk and tell me what Kenta is doing. I haven't talked to him for several days."
Right now, it is better to put her attention on Kenta rather than get scolded any more than this. Otherwise, the mother will again be going to start. After all, what will be the use of my brother?
-He is just playing games on the phone. What was the name of that game hero legend? Maybe I do not even care about the name well. He keeps playing the same game throughout the day, and even after scolding, he does not give up.
"He is also on the same game. I don't know what they like about it."
Legendary Hero is a very famous game whose anime has also been made. It is so renowned that my college friends are also engaged in it.
In this game, the Hero saves the heroine from the villain. And fights on behalf of the Kingdom give them victory and become the Kingdom's Hero. This game has a straightforward plot, but many people like it.
My friends are so crazy behind this game that they forcefully made me sit with them and show me all the episodes of that anime that was made from the game in one night.
I told him why you are showing me, see for yourself, but they did not listen to me and kept me sitting together. I was sleeping that night, but my friends did not let me sleep. And after watching all the episodes, Even then, I didn't like that anime at all.
Many things in it were not good for me. I had many complaints about that game as to why the developers in that game make characters in this way, but what is the use of speaking? My friends were crazy after that.
When I told them what nonsense you showed me, it spoiled my whole sleep. So their only answer was, you really do not have the taste of the masterpiece. Your heart is weak. Weak heart, man.
Tell me what the meaning of a weak heart is. Everyone likes a little bit of everything. And despite what I say, they all come to my room every day to play this game. Now it is enough that I can remember that whole game. But really, there are many things in that game which I really don't like at all.
"Mother tell him that he is 17 years old, now leave the game etc. and start preparing for the entrance….and also that game name is legendary hero not hero legend."
-You will sleep by keeping the phone, or I will tell your father that you are still awake.
"Okay, okay, sorry, I'll hang up the phone, good night."
-Good night
My mother really gets angry very quickly. Sometimes I feel that my mother starts beating me even after getting off the phone.
Now I should also go to sleep, or else if I really miss my train, I will definitely go from here to my home listening to my mother's taunts and beatings.
"Now, let's go to sleep."
The heat is getting sweltering these days, so one sleeps only by running A.C. When it is going on like this, the sheet must be with you. Seriously, complete preparation has to be done to sleep.
By the way, I will not tell a lie; if you do not look at the face of the family for two months, you will feel a little lonely. Now tomorrow I will go to my house after two months. Even if you go wherever you want, you will get peace by reaching your home.
And this is true.
Now I should turn off the light, or else the sleep I have may also fly back, and then tomorrow I will definitely be delayed.
"Good night myself"
I was going to sleep, but I didn't know that this night would be my last night here as Kazuo. And after this night, my whole world will change.
"I am really looking forward to meeting you tomorrow, family members."
*************
The sun was starting to rise out of the darkness. The sun's rays were also beginning to spread everywhere by doing this slowly. And it was also beginning to fall on a boy lying in the room.
'What is the time?'
I will have to see the time how much has happened. The train is at five in the morning, so I have to be ready early. If there is some time left, I will get to rest a little more.
'Where did my phone go?'
I kept it on the bed, now where is my phone gone. I have been looking for my phone on my bed, but I can't find the phone.
'Now what kind of trouble is this?'
I am not allowed to sleep any more; now I have to get up. It was on the bed, so where could the phone go?
My eyes were getting heavy. Really getting up in the morning is not easy; you have to beat your heart to get up.
'How did my hostel room get so big?'
I feel really sleepy right now because I see my hostel room as a luxurious room. I should wash my face so that I can get some sense.
I am so sleepy that I can't be even able to see my bathroom.
"Young master, your food is ready. Master Harrison has specially asked you to train only after having your meal. So please open the door."
Who is now making such jokes with me outside my room this morning? Young Master? Training? At least you joke in such a way that it makes sense.
In fact, even the hostelers do not see the time while joking. Man, at least let me wake up well.
I went to the door to open it.
"Young Master, this is your food. You please go to training only after eating it. Master Harrison has said this."
In front of the door stood an old man carrying food, whom I had never seen in my hostel, and his clothes did not even look like that of the warden.
Baba, such a joke in the morning is-
"What are you doing outside my room in the morning with your wretched face."
What? Wretched face? Why did such words come out of my mouth? I did not want to say this.
I felt that there was a slight difference in my voice and the tone of speaking was very different.
"Young Master, I'm sorry that you had to see someone like me this morning, but Master Harrison told you to give me food before training."
That person was not angry with how I spoke, but he accepted my words and apologized to me.
This food is not mine; you have any misunderstanding-
"Take this food and leave in one voice; I don't have to repeat it."
Again? What I did not want to say came out of my mouth. I really don't understand what is happening.
"But young master this food –"
Really it's not my food-
"You have such a position that you dare to ignore my words."
What is this happening to me?
Why am I speaking with such an accent to a man older than me, and what I want to say is not coming out of my mouth?
What's going on?
"N-no, Young Master, I was just…."
"Enough! Our talk is over. Now go away from my eyes immediately."
I didn't know why I said all this. I panicked and hurriedly closed the door of the room. And seeing this, the old man also started going back to the same side from where he had come.
Why is all this happening? Why did I say all that? And why do I feel that my voice has also changed, and this-
'This is not my hostel.'
It's not me sleeping, but it's not really my hostel. Where is this place, and what am I doing here. I will have to see soon how I got here.
As I was going towards the room window, my eyes went towards a mirror lying in the room. A fifteen-year-old black-haired man, who had red eyes and his face so that even a prince could fade, was visible in the mirror.
'Why is my face showing this way in the mirror.'
As soon as I got closer to the mirror, I started moving my hands, which happened in the mirror. But the picture visible in the mirror was not mine but someone else's face in it.
'wait-'
I think I have seen this face. This face seemed to me just like that which I did not like, and that was
"Roy Holt, The Villain"
The villain, maniac, and worst character of the legend hero game. From whose clutches the Hero saves the heroine. This is the character I didn't like for the whole anime. And that was me now.
'Okay, now I understand what this is all about
I am still dreaming of how stupid I am; I could not understand such a thing. I have to get up early. If I slept any longer, I would really be late to leave.
I have to tell my friends that they stop talking to me about the game anymore. That game has become so ingrained in my mind that now I also have dreams of it.
I then lay on top of the bed and went back to my deep sleep.
'Sometimes dreams come so strangely.'
********
Three hours had passed.
I was still unable to get up from sleep. I am still in the dream of the Game as Roy.
'Don't joke me, it's not possible.'
A jug full of water was kept beside my bed; I took it in my hand and put it all over my body.
Even pouring all the water on myself did not make any difference; I was still in this dream. But as time passed, I could not see this as a dream. Instead, it seemed like it was really a reality, not a dream.
I sat on the ground with my feet, taking the bed's cover. And my eyes were looking up at the ceiling.
'It really is a lie. It can't be true, no, it can't be true.'
I didn't know all this was happening; how could I become Roy. How can I get into a game? How can this be true?
Roy was the most useless character in the game who used to be intoxicated with his strength. And he didn't like to look at the weaker than him. So how can I get into the body of that maniac?
'What is all this. I don't understand.'
My eyes went from above to the ground. I had no idea what I would do now. Is this really a reality. Or is it my illusion? I was unable to know.
"Young Master, Master Harrison is calling you. He is waiting for you at the dinner table. Please open the door."
While I was thinking about all this, the voice of the same man started coming from outside my door.
Hearing the sound of the door, I went towards the door to open it.
As soon as the door was opened, the same man who had brought food for me in the morning was standing in front.
"Thank you for opening the door, Young Master. Master Harrison is calling you. Please leave early, he has been sitting for a long time."
I could not recognize him in the morning, but now I could remember him very well. He is Ben, the honest butler of the Holt family.
He was the only honest person out of a whole Holt territory who had explained to Roy till the end that he was doing wrong, but Roy did not even want to listen to it. Instead, whenever Ben used to say something to Roy, he used to hit him occasionally.
Roy was really a scum.
And when Holt Territory was banished, he became the main character's butler and started supporting him, For the improvement of Holt Territory.
He started looking at me as soon as I opened the door
"Young master, why are your clothes are wet?"
Seeing my condition, he started asking me. I could not figure out how to answer this.
When I was drinking water, some water accidentally fell on me
"I was drinking water; if you have any problem with this, tell me."
My words changed again. As if I can't speak anything without pride.
"No, young master, what can be wrong with me, but young master, how will you be able to get into these clothes. I'll take out the clothes for you."
No, you don't need to do this.
"I don't need to wear other clothes; I will go like this. Now get away from here; I have to go."
My words were coming as if my way of speaking would remain the same no matter which way I spoke. But Ben was not answering the reverse on any of my words. Even though he was not at fault, he would have accepted his mistake.
"Young Master, forgive me."
He left the place for me and stood bowing to me. He started giving me the way to go.
I said this, but how would I know the way of such a big mansion. But I did not dare to ask; I was afraid I should not say something straight back.
I started going forward. Ben bowed his head as he saw me going. I didn't like seeing it.
I ignored this and started going without saying anything.
'Just I don't get into any new trouble.'
********
I was on my way to the dining room in the Mansion. And the amazing thing was that I knew what was in the Mansion and where is it. Perhaps because of being in Roy's body, his memory also came to me.
As I was moving forward, all the servants in the Mansion looked at me and lowered their heads in fear. Seeing all this, I was not feeling well.
'This should be the room.'
As I walked, I came across a door that was the dining room, according to Roy's memory. I stood in front of that door and began to open it slowly.
"Roy, you're late, I've been waiting for you for so long."
As soon as I opened the door, a man was sitting on a chair at the table, leading my way. The one I knew was Roy's father.
'Harrison Holt'
The dumbest character in the game. Why the dumbest? Because he loved Roy so much that he kept ignoring all his mistakes. He had a lot of pride in being in the nobility, due to which he hated the commoner very much. But except for this, he is not a that bad guy.
"Roy, sit down now, what are you waiting for?"
Harrison pointed to the chair lying beside him and asked me to sit down.
I nodded my head at Harrison's behest, and I sat down on the chair that Harrison was asking me to sit on.
"Roy, I heard that you didn't eat in the morning and you didn't even train today."
Harrison was looking at me and saying. He was talking about this morning.
"I am glad that you listened to me and even thought of taking a break from training occasionally. We should not always keep training. Rest is equally important."
Roy used to wake up early in the morning and go out to train in his garden. In the game, it was told that Roy was strong in his ability, but now when I look at Roy's memory, I really know that Roy was a maniac.
From the age of five, he used to train for eight hours, sometimes even ten hours. It was evident that He would certainly feel everyone was weak by training so much.
"Roy, I know that you miss your mother more, but that does not mean we should only think about increasing our strength. Our health comes first."
Roy's mother passed away due to an illness when Roy was five years old. Roy felt that he was weak, so his mother passed away, and because of that, Roy always started training. In search of strength.
"I am hungry. I'm having dinner, I don't want to talk to anyone right now."
My voice didn't get low even in front of Harrison, and it was arrogant as usual. Harrison was looking at me a little sad, but when I said this, there was a slight smile on Harrison's face, but there was a trace of sadness even in that smile.
"Okay fine. We start eating. But you haven't forgotten what tomorrow is. right?"
Harrison seemed to start his meal. But I didn't understand what Harrison was talking about.
"tomorrow?"
I couldn't remember what tomorrow was. So all I could do was look to Harrison for answers.
"We have to leave early as You are going to get married tomorrow. That's why you wear your dress well and get up early ,Well, I don't even need to say that. You wake up early on your own"
"Marriage!"
My senses were blown as soon as I heard this. I started to panic. I was now getting the game plotline on hearing this word. It was all going the way it was told in the game.
"Yeah and what. Did you forget?"
Harrison looked at me as if it were a common thing
"Leave it. Just be ready tomorrow; we have to leave early."
"You know I'm fifteen years old."
Everything was perfect because of the plotline in the game, but when it really started happening, it was not right. No matter where you look from, the marriage of a fifteen-year-old child. You are right, aren't you?
"I know and the Kingdom has legal age of fifteen years old to be an adult. So what's wrong with this, eat food now, or it will get cold."
But Harrison stood his ground. And all this marriage was necessary to start the game. But all this did not seem right to me in reality.
"Sit down Roy"
I sat back in my seat at Harrison's request again, but now I was worried. Like everything that happened at the start of the game, it was starting to happen.
"Let's start eating now. And it's not right to delay."
Harrison was telling me to start eating. I started my meal as soon as Harrison spoke. But instead of eating, my attention was focused only on worrying about tomorrow.
'If this is a dream, please, someone take me out of this scary dream.'
********
Three people were sitting in a house in a village area several miles away.
"Amelia, we can't break this arrangement. This time in our territory, the storm has ruined all the crops and we need the money right now."
One of three people sitting, a man around his mid-forties or fifties, was telling a girl around fifteen years of age sitting in front of him.
The girl has golden blond hair, blue eyes which look like a jewel embedded in them, and a gorgeous face like a fairy coming from heaven. She was nodding at the talk of that man.
"Amelia, we apologize to you, but we have no other choice, if we refuse this arrangement, then the whole of our territory will have to pay the price."
The woman sitting with that man also told that girl about their condition and why they could not refuse this arrangement.
The girl shook her head at their words as if she was saying that she could understand.
"Amelia, I know you won't be able to forgive me, but I am telling you the truth that if I had some other way, I would have really rejected this marriage."
The man explained to the girl that he could not deny this arrangement even if he wanted to. From his face, it could be seen that he was really ashamed of himself.
That girl was also looking down, and she also understood this.
"Forgive us, we are sacrificing you for our territory."
The woman sitting with that man, tears started coming from her eyes as soon as she said this.
"Forgive us"
They were looking down as if they were in pain about their decision.
When that girl looked at both of them, she took hold of them and started shaking her head as if she was saying that you are not wrong in this.
Seeing that girl, they hugged that girl.
"Amelia-"
By hugging that girl, both of them started crying bitterly.
"We really don't deserve to be called parents. "
"We are sorry."
Their tears were not stopping, that girl was encouraging them by hugging them tightly, but her eyes were also moist.
"We are proud of you."
All three of them hugged each other and cried to ease their pain. And just like that, they all just cry.
*******
Too much time had passed. The sun had set, and it was night, and the moon was shining among the many stars. I was standing in the backyard of the Mansion.
I was able to use the magic shown in the game as if it were natural. And I also knew how to use the sword, probably because of Roy's body.
So much time had passed, and I was still in this world; now, if I still consider all this a dream, it would be my very foolishness.
The game is going to start tomorrow. From where the Protagonist's journey becomes a hero, and Roy's becomes a villain will begin.
Roy was an essential character in the game. To make a Protagonist a Hero. Without Roy becoming a Villain, a Protagonist never becomes a Hero.
If Roy does not become a villain, then the Protagonist will not be able to become a hero. And if the Protagonist does not become a hero, he will not take part in the war of the Kingdom, and if he does not take part, then the Kingdom will be defeated.
Due to which many lives will be lost, one of the reasons for this will be Roy not becoming a villain.
And if I become the villain, then the Holt territory will be banished, and I will also die in the end. Now I am defeated on both sides.
I was looking at the moon. Because the moon was in the middle of many stars, it looked stunning, and I did not know why my eyes were getting blurred.
Now I may not be able to go back, and from today my world is this, and now my identity is Roy. From today I am not a Kazuo but a villain in this world whose name is Roy Holt.
'This is wrong.'
My eyes were slowly getting more blurry, and I was starting to feel pain as much as the moon looked beautiful.
'Now-'
********
A few miles away, a blonde girl was also sitting in her room, looking out the window.
'Why does this always happen to me.'
That blonde girl was Amelia.
Since childhood, Amelia could not speak. And because of that, she had to face many difficulties, but Amelia never ran away from problems but faced them firmly.
'Can I really never find happiness'
Amelia's parents were perfect, they never expressed to Amelia that she was less than anyone because of not speaking, but Amelia was also tired now after facing so many difficulties.
'Why am I getting married with such a boy. What have I done?'
Discussions of Roy's behavior were so far away that he did not even like to look at the person below him. And he does not understand anyone in his equal.
The one who boasts of strength. The hater of the commoner. And considering himself above all, many other things were discussed about Roy, which Amelia also knew.
And if Amelia was going to be married to that person, what else would Amelia do instead of mourning?
'Why I don't deserve to be happy.'
Amelia was also looking at the moon outside the window to ease her pain, but even that was not reducing Amelia's pain but was increasing.
Amelia's eyes were moist. And she was looking at the moon with wet eyes.
'Now-'
*********
''What's going to happen to my life.''
On the one hand, Roy and on the other, Amelia, both were looking at the moon with moist eyes. Both were in pain. And just like that, in the moonlight of the night, they kept looking at the moon.
