Chereads / Play role or die / Chapter 9 - Double Trouble

Chapter 9 - Double Trouble

Fabian was in a large, green meadow, with a gentle breeze blowing, moving his hair and clothes.

Fabian looked at his hands and said: "Am I in another world?"

The man who had killed Fabian in the previous world stood in front of him, with a cold expression, and said: "I killed you because you had forgotten your main mission."

Fabian: "Alfred..."

Alfred smiled and said: "That's right, I'm glad you remembered me. Now it's time to start the next story."

Suddenly, Fabian shouted: "Wait, what happened to the end of the previous story?!"

Alfred smirked and said: "The world of the previous story was completely destroyed."

Now I remember, I was brought into a book by Alfred to play in his stories. Alfred and I don't have a special relationship; in my real life, I was just an ordinary servant working in Alfred's mansion. I was indebted to Alfred and had to work for him to pay off my debt.

Alfred had a room that he didn't allow anyone to enter. I thought that maybe the contract paper was in that room, so I decided to find and destroy it.

Fabian sneaked into the room that Alfred had forbidden anyone to enter in the middle of the night.

Fabian secretly entered Alfred's study, a relatively simple and ordinary but tidy room. There were shelves filled with strange and unique objects. There was an ordinary desk by the window.

Fabian approached the desk, and there was a book on it.

Fabian: "Just a book?"

Fabian was about to touch the book when suddenly Alfred grabbed his hand from behind and said softly and a bit creepily: "I don't think I gave you permission to enter this room."

Fabian, anxious, said: "Sorry, I didn't mean to steal anything..."

Alfred twisted Fabian's arm and threw him hard onto the desk.

Fabian, with his hand in severe pain, said: "Please let go of my hand, I promise I will never enter this room again!"

Alfred thought for a moment and said: "You know, you owe me and have to work for me, but now you've entered this room without my permission and want to steal my things!"

Fabian shouted: "I'll do anything you want, please let me go!"

Alfred released Fabian's arm, smirked, and said: "Anything?"

Fabian looked at Alfred with worry and said: "Well, not exactly, but yes."

Fabien stood, waiting for Alfred to give him instructions. Alfred opened the book on the table and said, "You have to help me write this book. You'll need to play a role."

Fabien: "Is that all?"

Alfred chuckled under his breath and said, "It might seem easy, but you're in for some tough challenges."

I accepted the challenge, but I realized I had made the biggest mistake of my life.

Fabien was in a large forest; it was evening, and the sky was getting dark. Fabien looked at his hands and said, "Am I a child?"

Suddenly, a few wolves came rushing towards Fabien and attacked him. Fabien raised his hands to cover his face and closed his eyes.

A man: "You foolish child, running away again!"

Fabien opened his eyes and saw that the wolves were dead. A burly man with a scar on his left eye was looking at him angrily. The man was wearing leather clothes, torn and ragged, resembling those of a warrior.

The man brought a rope to tie Fabien's hands, but suddenly, Fabien kicked the man's leg and ran away.

Fabien ran at full speed, thinking, "I don't know what's going on here, but I don't want to get caught by that man!"

Suddenly, Fabien saw a few men dressed like the previous man chasing him. His legs were numb with pain, but he kept running.

Then Fabien saw another man dressed in black. He ran towards him, grabbed his clothes, and fearfully said, "Please save me, they want to kill me!"

Fabien looked at the man's face. The man had two horns on his head, and his pupils were slits.

Fabien thought, "I'm doomed, now I've fallen into a demon's trap!"

The demon lifted Fabien by the collar of his clothes, grinned, and said, "What luck, you'll make a fine toy for my master!"

In the end, Fabien was taken to the mansion of the demon lord.

A warrior: "Damn it, a demon took the child!"

Fabien was in a room, waiting anxiously to see what would happen. Nervously grinding his teeth, he said, "Alfred, it's all your fault that I'm stuck here!"

Two soldiers entered the room and took Fabien to a grand hall, forcing him to kneel. Fabien looked around curiously, thinking, "This castle has really good design; the lord here has good taste."

Suddenly, a man with a loud voice said, "Let's see, what have you brought me today?" The soldiers stepped aside, and the man slowly approached Fabien. Fabien looked down in fear.

The demon who had brought Fabien here bowed and said, "My lord, I found this child in the forest by chance. I want to present him to you."

The demonic lord came closer to Fabien, knelt in front of him, grabbed his face tightly, and looked into his eyes with a frown, saying, "Raise your head; I hate cowards."

Fabien thought, "Maybe if I play a role, he'll take an interest in me, and then trust me so I can end him."

Fabien smirked and said proudly, "Why do you think I'm scared? Who do you think you are?" 

The lord's face darkened, and his eyes became more terrifying. Everyone watched in fear, no one daring to speak.

Fabien thought, "Huh? Didn't he say he hated cowards?"

Suddenly, the lord grabbed Fabien's collar, staring directly into his eyes. Fabien, sweating in fear, tried to stay calm, thinking, "I just need to endure a little longer. I can't let him know I'm scared!"

The lord said coldly, "This child is very strange; I don't like the way he looks at me. Put him in a cage so he can't escape."

Fabien, shocked, yelled, "What?! I don't want to go in a cage!" 

Two guards came to take Fabien away, but suddenly, Fabien stood up and ran at full speed.

Guard: "Catch that kid!"

The guards rushed to capture Fabien. The lord looked back in surprise, smiled slightly, and said, "That kid is really foolish."

The male servant looked at the lord and asked, "My lord, what do you plan to do with that child?"

The lord chuckled under his breath and said, "Investigate that child. I want to know exactly who he is and who his family members are."

Fabien was running down the hallway, all the doors were guarded, and the building was very tall. Fabien looked out the hallway window.

Nervously, Fabien thought, "If I commit suicide, I can escape this story and move on to the next one."

Fabien quickly ran into a room to hide. After closing the door, he leaned against it, took a deep breath, and said, "At least I can buy a few minutes."

Suddenly, Fabien saw a sword on a large table. He walked over to the table and picked up the sword.

Curiously, Fabien looked at the sword and thought, "This sword must be very sharp."

Fabien drew the sword from its sheath and pointed it at himself. Suddenly, he plunged the sword into his heart.

Fabien thought, "Huh? Why don't I feel any pain?"

Fabien opened his eyes and saw that he was completely unharmed.

Fabien, shocked and surprised, said, "But... why?!"

Alfred: "You are here to play a role in my story. You are not allowed to commit suicide or escape."

Alfred was standing in front of Fabien.

Fabien shouted angrily, "What do you mean I can't commit suicide?! Do you want me to suffer?!"

Alfred chuckled under his breath and disappeared.

Fabien fell to his knees, his face contorted, and said, "Don't think everything will go the way you want, Alfred. I'll end this story the way I want!"
