"Wake up Anna, who is going to give water to the horses today?"
"Horses?" Anna muttered as she opened her eyes. Her gaze fell upon an unfamiliar face, a motherly figure with a piece of clothes wrapped around her chest down to her waist and a matching one for the hair. She was holding onto a metallic bucket and stood under a shed, the same place Anna was lying.
"No, dogs!" Replied the lady. She dropped the bucket next to her and walked out of the shed, leaving Anna alone to face her sudden shift in reality.
"What the hell?" She scratched the back of her head upon realising that she was sitting in a stack of hay.
[ Congratulations, you have received the abandoned plot system ]
The mechanical voice in her head was somewhat unsettling, who was it and how did he get in my head?
"Excuse me?" She asked, without looking in any direction because there was no one in sight.
[ You have been transported to an abandoned novel, Eldritch Romance written by Emma Broadway. ]
"Again, huh?" Anna raised a brow, but then a holographic screen appeared before her eyes, showing the book cover from a novel that seemed to be popular, with the author ranking number 2 as a best seller.
"I've seen this cover, I know the aithor, but never read it," she muttered, even though it felt quite strange that she was speaking to this mysterious voice in her head.
[ Very well then. When an author creates a book, as soon as he types the first word, a new world is created, anything he erases will be erased from the world. And if he abandons it, it freezes and if it remains abandoned for a long time, the world collapses.]
"Okay?"
[ When Emma Broadway wrote the first ten chapters of this book and posted it online, her fans were eager to see her new creation. And of all the books she ever wrote, this became popular from the very first week. The plot was engaging and the synopsis would draw anyone's attention, but she abandoned it after the twelfth chapter and the world has remained dormant ever since. ]
[ It has been over a year and the world is falling apart, that's why I brought you here, because once a new character is introduced, the story comes alive. Your task is very simple, continue the plot ]
"What?" Anna raised a brow in confusion,
"How could I even continue a plot that I know nothing about? I'm not Emma Broadway. Plus I don't even know how I got here in the first place."
As far back as she can remember, Anna was in her bedroom threatening to kill herself in front of Jack, and now she was here.
"Did I die? Is this the afterlife?"
[ Now, you are not dead and this is not the afterlife. I am the Abandoned plot system and I brought you here to finish the plot of a popular novel, you will return to earth once your task is complete, and you will return with a large sum of money, the one you earn as a reward for each task that you complete]
"Oh?" Anna was dazzled,
"So I'm here temporarily?"
[ Yes ]
"Okay, not bad," Anna muttered with a nod, even though it seemed crazy, she was fine with staying here to calm her nerves and forget about the pain that Jack caused her.
"So, how is this going to work?" She inquired and once again the screen lit up, taking her by surprise,
"I need to get used to this."

[ Do you understand? ]
"Mostly yes," she replied,
"But if I get confused along the way, I can always ask you, right?"
[ Sure ]
"Yeah, I'm good, so by the way, the lady I saw earlier, who is she?"
[ Your mother, Mariah Beetle ]
"Okay, and I'm guessing that we live in a hut or something like that, and we have horses?"
[ Your family has the biggest animal farm in the region, so you live in a farmhouse with both parents and your sisters]
"Anything else I need to know before relating with them?" Anna inquired, eager to accept her new role and begin to act on it immediately.
[ Nothing much, since this is just the twelfth chapter of the novel. Also, your first task will begin immediately ]
"Fine by me," Anna said and stood up from the bay stack, she dusted herself and picked up the bucket that her new mom had kept beside her.
"I'm ready." She said,
[ Very well then, I admire your enthusiasm ]
[ First task! ]
[ Become a servant in the Royal Palace]
[ You have seven days counting from now ]
"Hold on," Anna paused,
"What does Emma Broadway's synopsis have to say about the story?"
[ Here is Emma Broadway's intended plot ]
