Their forced proximity ignites an unexpected chemistry, leading to moments of vulnerability and genuine connection neither anticipated. Caught in a whirlwind of deception, passion, and power plays, Delilah grapples with their growing feelings. As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again? ****Exerpt**** Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)

The Unexpected NPC

---Summary--- I'm Dang Minh Nhat, I'm a miserable unemployed person who depends on my parents. My life goes on peacefully and normally. That makes me no different from a real life NPC. My hobby is reading online novels. My favorite novel is "The Mage of Destiny". And I'm a crazy fan. On the day the new chapter of that novel was released, the app on my laptop crashed and I couldn't read the latest chapter. Swallowing my anger, I slept and hoped that I could read it tomorrow morning. But when I woke up, I found myself in a completely different body. A strange face that I had never seen before. After a while of searching, I found out that I had transmigrated into the body of a character in the novel "The Mage of Destiny". An NPC named Danz Grayson. Well...since I transmigrated, I had to stay away from the main characters. I didn't want to be in danger. But I also want to be by their side and watch them grow. How difficult... Okay! I'll become a real NPC. A background character and I'll follow those main characters silently. I'll watch them grow with my own eyes. Little did I know that was an absolutely wrong decision... --- The story's pace is quite...slow. At least in the beginning. The author is very lazy so the posting schedule will be random, someday when I lose interest I might drop it. I write just to satisfy my passion, for fun. So don't attack me if my work is similar with other works. I don't have much creativity in writing... Inspired by many different novels, it's easy to see similarities, little or significant depending on the details. It's probably quite general. If you don't like it, just skip. I use Google Translate to help me write this novel so there are a lot of grammar errors and unclear sentences. If you don't understand, please just comment and I will try my best to explain it. --- ChiiRi

But he makes friends along the way and that's the important part. Read on, dear Reader! Because Eldris' real life has only just begun. --------------------------------------- A/N: This is my first time writing a story. Criticism is appreciated, so leave your honest reviews. Also this novel won't have a harem, same could be said for probably all the novels I write in the future. !!! This novel is something I have yet to make a serious dedication to, the update schedule is nonexistent. I won't drop it until it's completed but chapters will be slow. You have been warned dear reader, I am a lazy Author.(To anyone who may have been reading this, I won't be updating for a while. I don't think my writing skills are good enough portray this novel, with all the plans I have in store for it. I want this novel to be something good, so for now I will be learning from other works by authors more skilled than I and trying to improve my skills. I will update the synopsis when I feel I can continue with this novel.)
