Prologue
In a dark room,where the only light was from the computer screen,only it's glow was casting light in the room.
A man,Damien was sitting with hunched posture, his features were not visible by the light glowing on his face, his hands were moving quickly across the keyboard. His body, fat . A patch of unruly hair hung over his forehead.
He was so absorbed in the computer screen that he seemed unguarded to anything else, his eyes were red, his mind was lost in some other reality .
The air was strange, filled with an chill and silence, only disturbed by the sound of the keyboard. The man didn't notice a person entering his room, his mind in the web novel before him.
The room was filled with trash as if he hadn't gone out for many years.The failures of his past had long since turned him into this person, who found peace in fictional reality rather than in his own life.
A person stood behind him, silent without any movement as if studying the man.
Damien suddenly smashed the keyboard and yelled
"F*ck you Author, I'm gonna find you and beat you to death,you f*cker" he said smiling like a psychopath.
The figure behind him reacted,raised his knife to stab the Damien.
Damien, heard a faint rustling sound and tried to move sideways but the knife was fast and stabbed in his back.
He was trying to turn back to see the person who stabbed him but his body was losing strength as he slumped down on ground.
"Who the f*ck are you." He said in an angry voice hoping to get a reply but he didn't get any.

.
They say that in the moments before death, a person's life flashes before their eye.
'And I think my life is flashing before my eyes '
His thoughts went back to time when he wasn't a shut in and he actually had a life,a girl he loved,Elena .He was a different person back then.
His heart tightened when he thought back to his parents who never left him even when he was a disappointment,
He remembered the first time after that incident his mother's soft smile as if saying 'everything will be ok ' and his father's calm and steady gaze "Damien we believe in you"
The images and voices of his parents resonating in his head filled his heart with warmth.
'Why did I change so much' His thoughts went back to time when everything changed
The girl he loved Elena,
He remembered the scene of Elena barely holding her life with pained smile holding his hand "Damien Please live a life free of regret,Please be happy....I will ....I will always be with you....." Her pained smile when she said it seemed so vivid now.
' I'm sorry Elena I couldn't live the life you wanted me to,'
After that incident his life wasn't the same as before.He lost something he couldn't explain.....He only found peace in novels....the world of fiction.
And now....., in his final moments, he realized it was too late. There would be no grand transformation..
His body had gotten pale due to all bloodloss, his eyes unfocused started to give in to darkness.
And that was how my life came to an end
Or that's what I thought...
