He opened his eyes and found Wex coiled around his arm, the little guy must have been worried sick. He patted the weasel on the head and then checked the time. He was surprised that only ten minutes had passed, he sure he spent an hour or more inside the book, unless they're was a time difference he knew nothing about.
Shaking his head to get rid of the thought, he picked up his phone and entered discord. Since he didn't have Little-Chibi on his friend list, he searched for her under contracted authors but was disappointed because she wasn't online but just as he was about to exit, her name came up. He tapped on it and sent her a friend request.
Little-Chibi who's name in real life was Caroline had just fished bathing first went online to webnovel to check out her views, it had increased be three thousand in just that short while she left her laptop.
She then logged into discord and then she saw Twin-Lantern's friend request. "Isn't this one of those five kids they gave access to everything, what does he want?" she did not think too much and accepted the request.
[Little-Chibi: Hey boy or girl, what is it?]
[Twin-Lantern: That is an impolite way to address someone. Anyway I'm here for something else, I know how to make your book better]
Caroline could not believe what she was seeing, she was among the top 25 author and yet a kid had chatted her up to tell her this?
[Little-Chibi: You do know I can mute you right?]
Jeffrey stared at the message without a change in expression.
[Twin-Lantern: Nala watched her sister go through horror, so the emotion you're using now is wrong]
Caroline had her eyes opened wide. She did not write that in her book, but it was her thought when writing the book, it was Nala's background. Nala wanted revenge and wanted to get it herself but she died before killing her sister's husband. So after she got reincarnated she was lost because she couldn't even have her revenge anymore, she was in a completely new world...
Then it clicked, they're was no way Nala would blend in so fast but that is exactly what she had written.
[Little-Chibi: Who are you?]
[Twin-Lantern: Jeffrey. Moon's brother] before Jeffrey typed Moon, he spent almost three minutes deliberating.
Caroline froze and her face turned ugly.
[Little-Chibi: Is this a prank set up by your sister?]
[Twin-Lantern: I don't have time to participate in your childish shenanigans. If you're chanced then let's speak tomorrow, face to face. My house.]
Seeing Twin-Lantern go offline, Caroline smiled bitterly. She couldn't believe she was being ordered by a child and how does he know so much about her book.
'Should I meet him tomorrow or not?'

After a small stretch, Jeffrey made his way downstairs. He was famished and wouldn't function properly unless he ate something.
Although he was just thirteen, he knew how to cook unlike his sister who only knew how to murder food but right now he felt too exhausted to cook up something grand so he went for a more convenient choice, instant noodles.
"At least there are still people smart enough to come up with something like this"
After seven minutes, he was done and went to the dining table but then he remembered he left his phone upstairs and decided to go get it.

Moon came back all exhausted, she had been invited to the entertainment dimension for an award ceremony. To keep her shy girl image she didn't even have water and now she felt like her insides were crying from hunger.
After she opened the door, the delicious aroma of nicely made instant noodles entered her nose. 'Looks like mom's back, great'
Then she saw a plate of instant noodles waiting for her on the table. "Awwnnn, I love this family!" she exclaimed before digging in.
Jeffrey heard the door open and assumed it was his mom. After picking up his phone, he went back downstairs leaving Wex in the room.
Jeffrey's eyes turned cold as he restrained himself from making an outburst.
"Moon, what do you think you're doing?" he frowned, anger written all over his face, he couldn't believe his sister was shamelessly munching on his food in front of him.
"What is it now? don't disturb me I'm hungry" Moon shooed at him.
Jeffrey's lips twitched as Moon's shamelessness. "That is my food"
"Its yours?" Moon looked genuinely shocked, she never knew Jeffrey could cook, let alone something so delicious. "You can cook?"
"Unlike you, some of us are mindful of what we take in and I in particular don't like eating garbage" Jeffrey scoffed.
Moon almost chocked and then glared at Jeffrey before drinking a glass of water. "It's just instant noodles, I'll cook for you"
"No thanks I'm satisfied with being alive and healthy" Jeffrey immediately shook his head, poison was more appealing than his sister's food.
"Can't you ever talk to me like a normal human being?" Moon asked frustrated with her brother.
"First become normal and then we'll talk" Jeffrey said before leaving to the kitchen. Now he had to prepare another food for himself.

The next day towards afternoon, Jeffrey heard a knock and then stood to receive his guest.
Caroline walked in hoping to see someone at least tall but Jeffrey was a kid of 13 years old so she was thoroughly disappointed.
"You're Twin-Lantern, for reals?" Caroline was shocked, how can it be the small kid texting her yesterday on discord she was reluctant believe.
From her gaze, Jeffery could tell that her expectations were unmet and he ignored it. "Its impolite to stare at someone for too long"
Caroline rolled her eyes who was this baby fooling talking like a cool guy? she even had the urge to laugh.
Jeffrey again ignore her underestimating gaze and led her to sit.
"Is Moon at home?" Caroline asked while looking around.
Jeffrey stared at her before turning away. He understood that Caroline must have been nervous about being at her rival's house but he didn't give a damn.
