What is life?

For me who was sick and tired of this meaningless thing known as life I often wondered what the reason for my existence was , why was I even born?

'Well no use thinking about this' I told myself.

My name is Allen and I was a 26 year old shut in, unemployed and a thin and scrawny man who was single till date.

For me life was reading novels , manga , playing video games , eating , sleeping and repeating. Well at least till today it was. I was tired and was just going to hit the hay when I thought about the novel I just finished reading.

"Aah Im tired. What a stupid novel it was" I thought so I decided to write a review giving it a 1 Star. I wrote 'What a stupid novel this was even I could've written it better than the dumb twat that wrote this the main character is so damn op ,the power scaling is so dumb ,he gets all the girls almost effortlessly and even the ending is trash'. A sense of relief washed over me after meaninglessly taking out my anger on the sorry author. As soon as I went back to bed I received a call on my phone. "Who the hell could be calling me this late at night" I yawned and picked up the call where I heard a voice telling me "Do you wish to change The Dragon Hero's ending or alter it according to your wish?", I sleepily said "Heck yeah I would! If I could of course, now let me sleep".

"Very well then I shall give you a chance" He said and I cut the call thinking 'What a strange bastard'.

While sleeping I had a strange dream where I was a boy who lived in a world of swords and magic. My parents were neither too rich nor were they poor, they owned a 2 star guild and loved me very much. I lived a comfortable life surrounded by loving people who cared for me.

Somebody suddenly woke me up and I gasped for air. "Allen, wake up you're gonna be late for practice you sleepyhead, theres only one month left before the entrance exams in the academy, you cannot be slacking off now". I woke up completely confused as to what was going on and asked the person who woke me up "Who are you?! and how did you come inside my house, wait this isn't my house!?". The person gave me a chop on my head and said, "Its me your childhood friend Kyla Glisson you dimwit, now wake up quickly!" , the brunette green eyed girl said. I was dumbfounded both by her insane charm and by her name and her striking features. I immediately shoved her out of the room telling her ill be ready in a moment. My hands trembled as I thought of a possibility as to what could be happening but first I ran straight to the mirror and checked my appearance 'This isn't me? Who is this!?' were the words I wanted to scream but they did not come out. The girl I had just seen, what she called me, what she said her name was as well as her striking features nothing made sense. It was similar to a side character in the novel 'The Dragon hero','Kyla Glisson' who was said to have caught the eye of the main character and soon became a part of his harem. She was a bow user who used a 4-Star bow art. 'Wait I still haven't confirmed if this is the same world as the one in the novel' I thought , I gulped and thought 'here goes nothing' while I muttered "Status".

To my horror a panel of bright light opened up in front of me

====================================================

I calmed myself down as I arranged my thoughts. My head was a mess. After thinking for sometime about my current situation and what could be done. I formulated a strategy in my head, took an empty diary and the first thing I did was jot down every single piece of information I still remembered about the trashy novel. The main storyline ,the main cast, stats their personality traits etc. Every bit of info I remembered was written down by me in that diary. After recollecting everything I did remember about the character named Allen, known to be Kyla Glisson's childhood friend who was mentioned a dozen times or so in the novel at the start but died at the end of the First year of the academy due to the attack of the demons on the academy end of year exam.

'Alright' I thought standing up. I had a aim this time. Life had given me a second chance so I would use this chance, enjoy this life to the fullest and get stronger to ensure I stayed alive to enjoy life long enough. 'I will not become a Shut-in this life!!' I yelled internally as my sky blue eyes gleamed with determination.
