Alan, who was fast asleep in his room in the morning, woke up with a wave of his mind full of questions. For him, the day was like every other day, with no clear goal. He was just someone who didn't go to college, and sometimes, the question of why he had to get up in the morning haunted his mind.
[4 Messages from Elera]
The ringing sound of Alan's cell phone broke the silence of the morning. Lazily, he took his cell phone and opened a message from Ellera. Curiosity and uncertainty filled his mind as he read the messages. What could Ellera possibly want to tell him this time?
After reading the messages, Alan felt as if he had received answers to questions that had been bothering him.
[Elera: Allan?]
[Elera: Hey, you there? Your character almost died fighting the first king.]
[Elera: Luckily my character and my friend helped]
[Elera: You're lucky to have a Vampire character]
"Hah…?" Alan was confused.
Then Alan stood up from his bed and looked at his computer which was still on from the first day he discovered the novel he wanted to make into a living article. He started reading, but the writing was blurry because the room was still dark. Then, he opened the curtain behind his computer monitor and adjusted his eyes to the morning sunlight.
"Fuck… so bright."
Then, he started reading the [Miracle] novel again, finding out what happened, and what Elera said in the message.
"Hah…"
Alan started reading and found that Kratia, his character, found a window that said fatal many times.
"He almost died…" Alan continued to look at what caused it, "Lancey's spear pierced… accidentally…?"
Bang! Alan stomped the table in annoyance.
"What the hell! Who's the one with Lancey's character anyway!? My character is fatal!" Alan shouted
Alan kept scrolling down the words, looking to find out what happened next.
"The first king Gabriel Maharaja?" He continued to stare at the writing on the words.
He continued reading until he reached the part where Kratia was resting now.
Alan took the microphone next to the keyboard and pressed the button to turn on the microphone.

[Kratia, are you okay!?]
The sound appeared while I was resting on the mattress provided by Elerona.
"Ughh… that voice, gods."
[Kratia!]
"I feel nauseous..." I turned around from the bed.
When I lay my body to the right I saw Elerona beside me fast asleep.
[Ugh! Why do scenes like this happen all the time!]
"Elerona…?" I looked at Elerona who was sleeping next to me.
"Hmm..." Elerona mumbled while fast asleep.
I tried to wake Elerona gently, "Elerona, are you okay?"
Elerona responded by stretching a little and opening her eyes slowly. "Hm? Oh, Kratia. Good morning."
"What happened…?"
"Hmm…? Arshley said you almost died but you got regeneration."
"Ah… I see."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine… did you fall asleep here?"
"Ah... hehe yes I waited for you to wake up last night because... I thought you were going to die..." her face was a little gloomy for a while, "But... you are still alive," hse smiled again.
I smiled back, and I still remember Lancey's spear piercing my chest... maybe he didn't do it on purpose, then... I saw a portal... ah, that's right, when I wanted to faint, the mad scientist put his hand in the hole in my chest.
[There is the first king]
When I heard Gods voice again, I was shocked by what he told me.
"…The first king…?"
Elerona looked at my face in confusion, but her face became serious again, "I was told by Arshley and other soldiers, that there was a first king who resurrected the first king... is that true? Kratia?"
"E... I don't know-"
[That's right]
Gods voice interrupted the words I wanted to convey.
"Maybe... ah yes, maybe..."
[Kratia! Can you open your status?"
"Hah… um, Status…"
Elerona's face became confused, "What status do you mean?"
Then a status window appeared before me:
[Name: G̴̼̺̞̲͓͍̎a̵̧͍̱̥͂r̷͕̱̂̀b̴̟̠̤͛̔i̸̩̋̂ę̵̭̐̔͋́ͅļ̴̙͓͘ ̵̫̳͚̳̻͇̒͋Ḿ̶̭̤̜̄̀ a̷̺͍̥̲͉̟͋̾̓͆ḫ̷̟͋͂̀̿â̸̛̜̬͎̄͝r̸̜̼͙͙̯͐̇͋ͅa̶͍͖̖͖͍̪̽j̷͎̳̥̇͆̀͆a̸̤͎̠̿̌ ̫̘̬]
[Level: 6]
[Experience: (10)]
[Race: Vampire]
[Skills: [Bloodthirst], [Flash Step] ]

Alan, who saw the words on the status screen, came up with an idea to change it. Quickly, he tried to change his level.
"Rather than you will experience death..."
***
I, who was staring at the status before my eyes, realized that the name had not changed and remained like a broken name, but it was starting to fade…
[Change Status: Failed]
[Change Status: Failed]
[Change Status: Failed]
[Change Status: Failed]
What the hell… why is this thing appearing…?
I continued to stare at the status screen in front of me, behind the window screen, I could see from the status of Elerona's face that she was confused by the expression on my face.
[Change Status: Failed]
[Change Status: Failed]
[Change Status: Failed]
[Change Status: Failed]
Maybe more than 100 words emerged from my eyes, all the 360-degree views I saw turning my body all I saw was "[Change Status: Failed]"
Somehow, every attempt to change my status seemed to fail miserably. I felt increasingly frustrated, trying to understand why the changes weren't working.
Elerona looked at me in confusion, trying to figure out what happened. "Kratia, what are you trying to do?"
"Ah... no," I tried to look at Elerona even though all my vision was covered by "[Change Status: Failed]"
At that moment I saw the hand next to me appear and then my hand held my cheek, "I'm here..."
Ah… it's Elerona's hand, I turned my gaze wrong because of me.
Elerona held my cheek gently, trying to understand me. "What's going on, Kratia? Why do you look so confused?"
I was about to open my mouth and speak, but…
[Change Status: Successful]
The screen turned a bright golden color like a treasure. At that moment, there was a scream from the gods.
[YEAHHHH!]
I held my ears tightly because of the god's scream. The voice of the gods in my brain somehow makes my ears hurt.
[Name: G̴̼̺̞̲͓͍̎a̵̧͍̱̥͂r̷͕̱̂̀b̴̟̠̤͛̔i̸̩̋̂ę̵̭̐̔͋́ͅļ̴̙͓͘ ̵̫̳͚̳̻͇̒͋Ḿ̶̭̤̜̄̀ a̷̺͍̥̲͉̟͋̾̓͆ḫ̷̟͋͂̀̿â̸̛̜̬͎̄͝r̸̜̼͙͙̯͐̇͋ͅa̶͍͖̖͖͍̪̽j̷͎̳̥̇͆̀͆a̸̤͎̠̿̌ ̫̘̬]
[Level: Unidentified]
[Experience: (Unidentified)]
[Race: Vampire]
[Skills: [Bloodthirst], [Flash Step], [Super regeneration] ]
I was surprised because now my level logo is Unidentified, and there is also super regeneration?
[Have fun I'll see what you do in the future]
"..." I just fell silent.
Elerona, who was still holding my cheek, became even more confused, "What's wrong with you? You look like you've seen the ghost..."

Alan, who was staring at the monitor happily, now didn't have to fear that his character would die.
"Yes... time to see if anyone has read my novel..." Alan pressed minimize on words and opened Google.
He looked for his novel, and when he opened the website where he uploaded his novel, he found several messages commenting on his novel post.
Anon: This novel is great! The concept is unmarketable with a unique main character.
Anon: Weird.
Anon: Give your manuscript to PT Dhaniel to make your own book.
"PT Dhaniel…? Even my novel has only been read by 6 people..." said Alan, confused
Alan, who was curious about the suggestion to send his manuscript to PT Dhaniel, started searching on Google where PT Dhaniel was located.
"Very brave, PT Dhaniel, to write me a novel..."
After some searching, he found that PT Dhaniel was located in Bogor Pagelaran.
"Performance, Bogor…?"
