As soon as I opened the door to the school a voice reached out, "Lucas, where on earth did you go? You're late to class, hurry on up! You can't keep skipping class just because it's magic theory!"
Turning my body to the voice of an older man who was behind a reception desk was staring me down angrily.
"Go on!"
Taking heed of his words I moved in the direction of the class I would be in.
I had no idea who the receptionist was or even that there was one. I had never written about him. His name didn't exist within Eminence.
It seems that there were many different extras. Unfortunately, I was now one of them.
I knew the layout of the school like the back of my hand, I mean I created it.
Navigating the school without difficulty I arrived in front of a room I was all too familiar with.
A sign was outside the door.
"Mr. Vankay's Magic Theory Class."
Pushing the steel door open I entered the room.
Standing there in the open my mind went blank.
It was exactly as I had written. A college-like room where the teacher stood in the front of the class and the students sat on levels that went further and further back down the room.
"Mind is the most-"
When I pushed open the door all eyes landed on me.
Being stared at by everyone caused my heart to pound unrelentingly.
"Lucas."
Mr. Vankay had called out my name full of disdain.
"Go and take your seat, this is your final warning the next time you skip my class will be the last."
I stared at the professor for a second when a buzz vibrated on my smart watch which caused my mind to connect back with my body.
"Ah, y-yes, it won't happen again."
Coughing up an apology Mr. Vankay didn't even bother to respond but continued with what he was saying.
"Magic is a result of the mind and the mind is the most…"
I blocked out what the teacher was saying and quickly yet carefully made my way toward one of the open seats in the far back.
I had no idea if there were assigned seats or even if I had any friends who I regularly sat with. But I found a chair in the far back away from everyone and no one seemed to pay me any mind.
"Whew."
That was already hard enough as it was. I was definitely not suited for school life. Even back in the real world, I didn't go to school. My parents were still alive but they gave me absolutely no attention. So long as I didn't get them in trouble I was free to do whatever I wanted. Thus, I rarely went to school but instead spent my days writing away.
The hardest part though was passing everyone to get to my seat. Although no one bothered to look at me I didn't dare to look anyone in the eyes.
These were the world's greatest and most prominent students who would change the world. Not only that but the main character and many side characters were sitting in this very room, with me.
I gulped.
My legs felt like they would give out. I was thankful that I was seated down at the moment or else I would have made a joke of myself.
Sitting in the fourth row from the front was Noah. He was the main character's self-proclaimed rival. Noah would make everything a competition between himself and the main character.
Later down the road at the end of the first book in the series, Noah would be greatly defeated by the main character. Normally their fights would be neck and neck and even sometimes Noah would win. But this devastating loss would change Noah for the worst.
As a result, it would mark the dark path he would take. Full of fury he would change the friendly competitive fights into life-and-death battles.
Noah would become one of the main characters' greatest enemies.
Sweat poured down my face as I realized just who I was in the same room with.
Quickly turning my attention away from Noah I looked at another prominent character in the third row.
Mia.
She was the daughter of the leader's greatest mercenary group in the world, Frontier.
Frontier would go on to play an extremely important role in the novel and in turn, Mia would have a lot of screen time.
Beside her was Liam the prince of England. He has a huge crush on Mia. I couldn't blame him, every single one of the characters is beautiful. Mia was the spectacle of an hourglass body.
Liam would be a part of the main character's group because of his background and support. However, he wouldn't be all that important. He was mainly used in a way to de-escalate situations and cause Mia to get worked up.
Then in the second row was Evelyn, the daughter of the president of the United States. She had a cold demeanor and because of her father, everyone often stayed away from her.
However, in reality, she was extremely lonely and whenever she tried to make friends it would always magically backfire and they would be too scared of her.
Seeing Evelyn with my own eyes a couple of rows in front of me melted my heart.
A person I wrote purely to be used as a joke and forced to be all alone. Now seeing her I regret everything I wrote.
This was no longer a novel for people to enjoy but rather an entire world I was now a part of.
In front of Evelyn in the first row were the three most important people in the entire novel.
To the left was Willow. The main character's eventual lover. She is one of the strongest people in the whole school.
Her ordinary background is what would attract the main character to her.
She was born to a single mother and grew up poor. However, fate was kind— or I was and she managed to grow stronger day by day all on her own.
Having no support and growing stronger through sheer strength brought the main character to care for her and they would develop feelings for each other.
However, to the right of the main character holding his hand was Charlotte.
The current girlfriend of the main character.
It wouldn't be revealed until the third book that Charlotte was the daughter of the main antagonist and the whole time her mission was to get close to the main character to discover his weaknesses.
When she was revealed to be evil and destroyed much of the main character, Willow would then be there to help pick up the pieces, and their love would grow from then on.
Then in between, the two were the protagonist and main character of Eminence. The one who would change the world, the one destined to stand above all others, my greatest creation, Elijah.
