Surviving in my Own Unpublished Failed Novel

9:40 AM, in Room 31, Rigel Building

Russell, who guarded Amelie Rose the whole night, prepared some breakfast such as bacon sandwiches while waiting for Amelie to wake up because even though it was more than 8 hours that passed, she hasn't woken up yet from her short slumber.

'It's too convenient to have a personal kitchen in your own dorm...' Russell lampooned, but he felt grateful with the stocks of food on Amelie's refrigerator where he got the bacon then cooked it on a dual stove beside the refrigerator.

'Although every dorm room has its personal kitchen, it's really different when it comes from A-1 dorm, they gave free stuff…' Russell thought as he placed the bacon sandwiches on the glass rectangular table situated between the comfortable couch, and bed where Amelie was still sleeping.

Throughout the night, guarding her, Russell saw the 'Body and Soul Reconstruction' process she undertook, it was his first time to see something like that personally since coming into this world.

Amelie's body cracked as if they became puzzle pieces, though he didn't see how her soul itself had undergone the process, he still felt an inexplicable sense of wonder.

And exactly 9:34 AM, Russell got the notification that the 'Body and Soul Reconstruction' was a success…

'I don't want to imagine what it would look like if it got interrupted,' he couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating sigh as he remembered that he cannot take with him a person without 'Chaos Trait' in the Chaos Training Grounds where it would be safer to do such process without any worries.

Among the notifications he got was the unexpected message that told him the benefits upon the completion process as he checked again the details of his Unique Skill: Chaos Buff (EX)

Chaos Buff (Lvl. MAX)(Amplified)

Rank: EX

Cost: 0 CM

Grants "Chaos" trait to the designated target.

"Chaos"

Effect:

- Permanently increased all stat except for the charm and luck stat.

- The stat increase is proportional to the Chaos Power of the user.

- Limit number of targets: 0/11(+11)

- You cannot change the one you have granted "Chaos" unless the target dies.

But as he read through the skill details that were amplified by his 'Resident of Chaos' title; his expression turned into an inexplicable one as he didn't know whether he should be happy or not at the same time because apart from unexpectedly gaining stats; he was reminded that his Chaos-related skills have hidden effects, and he thought that maybe it's not because of having the Chaos Trait itself, but rather being a Mediator of Chaos.

He browsed again through the pile of System messages as he took a bite of bacon sandwich from one of the plates he prepared.

[The Body and Soul Reconstruction of the 'Target' has been completed]

[The 'Target's' overall stats aside from Charm and Luck increased by 50% with the proportion of your Chaos Power]

[Your overall stats increased by 20% with the proportion of the 50% overall stats the 'Target' gained]

[Your overall stats increased by 30 with the exception of Charm, Luck, and Chaos Power]

[Telepathic Communication can be done at the Mediator's Will]

[Remaining Limit of Targets: 1/22]

[The list of 'Targets' whom you have given the 'Chaos Trait' can be browsed]

…

Russell was glad about the increase in overall stats, but his Chaos Power stat wasn't affected by the increasing effect, prompting him to feel slightly dejected.

'So, it was originally 25% stats given, but it was enhanced due to my 'Resident of Chaos' title… and Amelie has an overall stats increase of 150 based on the 30 overall stats I got which is the 20% of 150… I wonder what will be her reaction… hahaha…' Russell silently let out a self-deprecating laugh inwardly which was cut off by a woman's voice beside him.

"Russell?"

"Good morning, how do you feel?"

Russell asked as he passed one of the plates on the glassy rectangular table near Amelie, silently telling her to take her breakfast.

Amelie, who just woke up was bombarded by System notification, but she set aside it first to converse with the one who guarded her all night.

"I'm fine… to be honest, I feel light… I can't explain it."

She replied as she grabbed the bacon sandwich from the plate that Russell passed near her, then took a light bite of it.

"Is that so, that's good. By the way, quickly come up with an excuse."

Russell said, not hinting to Amelie that they were absent from their own classes as she was in a state of stupor, forgetting it was Friday.

"Excuse? What do you mean?"

Amelie, who seemed not totally awake asked in a curious manner.

"It is not a problem for me… but for you, an A-1 student... it's different."

Russell said in a semi-serious tone, but inside he felt like laughing as the more serious he sounds, the more Amelie felt lost as she just woke up.

Amelie, who realized that it was not weekend right now widened her eyes as she was prompted to look at the wall clock attached to the wall, hanging above the television at least 1.5 meters apart.

"10:01 AM…"

'I missed a P.E class!' She screamed inwardly in a way that normal women do in terms of having a shocked expression.

'Very unlike of the one who cried last night,' Russell thought.

"Alright, I have to go… By the way, can you tell me about it?" He asked while thinking about the 'Dark Tears', and looked at the crystallized black-colored tears on the ground that he didn't touch.

Amelie looked at him, then on the floor as she sat on her bed, and replied in a composed manner, "Okay… but how will go bac-"

She didn't manage to finish her words as she saw Russell put on a simple dirty white mask with a tilted 'X' by 45 degrees on the right on the mask's forehead, then his figure vanished, blending into shadow.

"Ah…" Amelie put on a blank expression with what she witnessed, but manage to arrange her thoughts.

'Okay, that's how he got in here…' She thought as she went to the bathroom, and washed herself while remembering the time of being absent and the possibility of being late.

…

10:10 AM, at A-11 Classroom of First-Years

"He isn't here, he's absent."

Said by a woman with long blonde hair, sapphire-like eyes, and a height of 166 cm.

Freya Moon, who heard her answer formed an inexplicable expression as she thought,

'What? Oppa was absent? Why?'

"But maybe he will take the next class, you know…"

"Okay, Mira, thank you, by the way, will you go to the cafeteria?" Freya asked casually, but on the inside, her thoughts were clouded.

'Amelie was absent, too. Was it a coincidence? Did they sle-'

Before the completion of a dangerous thought surfaced in her mind, a womanly voice entered her ears, prompting her to look at the owner of the voice.

"Let's go."

The aloof Amery Blight said who came with Freya to check on her older brother as they went together with Mira along with Lyn, another woman, and a man. These people became acquainted during the 'Banquet of Obelisk.'

…

Room 393, Russell Moon's Dormitory, Andromeda Building

Russell, who just got back from his mission that the Goddess gave him slumped down on his bed.

'Should I not go to the next class? Yes, Freya will suspect something if I go to class… Perhaps she already suspects something, but if I go and Amelie Rose to class at almost the same time, though different classrooms, it will still be suspicious…'

'Don't worry younger sister…I just hope you won't punch me because you weren't the first one to know about my situation…' Russell lampooned as he realized such things, but as he remembered something, he reflexively sat up on his bed and scream in his mind…

'Dice of Chaos! I need a skill… the necessary skill for that one event in the future…' A wicked smile formed on his lips as he remembered the 'Ranking Exchange Battle'.

This will be the third time that Russell will use it; First time was when a die slipped off his hands, giving him the Crystal Key which he combined with the other three Keys with the use of Jar of Nothingness; the second time was a day or two away from the start of the class, giving him a 'certain sword' that he decided to give to Freya, his younger sister on her upcoming birthday on October.

'I need a skill…' he thought as he placed his hope on his rotten Luck which took a leap from 7 stat points to 9 stat points.

Russell checked again the 'Dice of Chaos' details:

[Dice of Chaos]

The three dice which the [Night of Primordial Chaos] created out of boredom. The materials used in its creation are unknown.

Rank: Ancient

Classification: Miscellaneous

Condition of Use:

- Mediator of Chaos profession

- Once every 15 days

Throwing Effects:

1. Throwing the dice in the ground will give the player random items depending on the player's Luck

2. The rank of the item will also be random

3. Throwing three dice at the same time will give the player a random weapon, armor, or crafting material

4. Throwing two dice at the same time will give the player a random Skillbook and Consumable items

5. Throwing a die will give the player a Miscellaneous item

…

"Okay, two dice…" Russell hold the two dice tightly as the remaining one was stored back on his Dimensional Inventory to prevent any mishap.

"Here goes nothing…" He muttered as he threw the two dice on the floor.

'I wonder if the number of total points on top means something… like a rank indicator of the item I will get? Because there's no such description on the Dice of Chaos itself.'

Russell thought as he questioned his trust in the System messages regarding past events.

The two dice landed on the floor having a total points of 5 as he was reminded again of the System regarding his Nihility trait that concealed the Chaos Aura of surroundings, within him, and the objects he possessed.

[You have thrown the 'Dice of Chaos']

[You have thrown two dice of the 'Dice of Chaos']

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ [You will be given a Consumable or Skillbook item]

[An unexpected interruption occurs!]

[You have been blessed by the 'Egg???' due to your achievement!]

[The Mediator's inner desire has been granted!]

[You have received the Skillbook: Void Acupuncture]

[The 'Egg???' wriggles happily in the 'Nothingness']

[The 'Egg???' hatch rate increased by 0.001%]

… …

...

The two dice wriggled and a dark blue aura coagulated forming the Skillbook as the two dice went inside the Dimensional Inventory as if they were an animated item.

But his thought turned blank as he read the notification, and felt the Egg???'s presence inside the Dimensional Inventory. He ruminated about the System messages, especially about the achievement, and after some time he made a guess as he muttered in the air his thoughts.

"Is it because I granted Amelie the Chaos Trait?"

[The 'Egg???' nods]

[The 'Egg???' goes back to its slumber]

Russell's thoughts were jumbled, but he felt great horror with other System messages just now… because it wasn't only him that probably received it.

He read the System message as his scalp drenched in a cold sweat.

[World Announcement!

Some True Ancient Constellations have sensed a mysterious presence in the 'Planet Earth']

...

[World Announcement!

Some True Ancient Constellations went back to their slumber as the mysterious presence instantly vanished, wondering if they were mistaken]

With his emotions calming down from the unexpected announcement, and the barrage of notifications telling him about the triggered Nihility Trait Russell thought, 'This was not in the novel I've written in my previous life.'

…

More than 3,000 KM away from the Orion Continent, Elnira Kingdom

A beautiful young-looking woman with long yellowish hair that was like the color of the 'Sun', green eyes that seemed like the 'Nature' itself, fair skin that matches the 'Winter', but has a pair of pointed ears that were not like 'Humans', sat on her throne as "She" listened to a genuflecting 'kin' speaking 'Elvish', the language of the Elves.

"My Queen… @#$%^&*?"
