Chapter 226 225. Facts.

(AN: Omniscient POV)

Let's go back to the past a bit, shall we?

Eshwar, who had awakened into a hero, was brought back to the human domain by Quinn Walker, who had also helped him a lot in understanding how to live in the human domain, though his efforts were purely unnecessary because Eshwar knew about it and even then, he would act the way he wanted to.

And as you already know, after he returned to the human domain, he made friends, who were still with him as the Uncharted, a few lovers who interested him at the beginning, a sh*t ton of enemies, and he had even learnt many things to refine himself, as he began to understand that the world he lived in was the novel world he had written when he was still a human without any mana.

And after he learned about the fact that the world he was living in now was a world he himself created, then as a story writer himself, the first question that appeared in his mind was, "What if, just like me, somebody else is writing my story, making me dance in the palm of their hands?" Though he never showed it on the outside, this question haunted him to this day, and soon his head started to make up sh*t, making him paranoid about his existence. It was also a way he had thought about making Jiwoo's mentality weak, just as he was doing with Violet and the others.

And recently another question and different thoughts were appearing in his mind: "Why am I getting stronger?" "Why is it that I am being forced to get stronger?" "Why am I getting dragged here and there and getting stronger?" "Am I getting stronger on my own free will?" "I haven't done anything to get stronger myself." "Why are things like this happening to me?" and after these questions, he was forced to think back on his first question, "Is there somebody who is writing my story?" "If then, was it also them that messed with Eunomia, no, the system?" Eshwar, who was thinking that he wasn't scared of anything, began to tremble in fear at these thoughts; such things were too much to bear with a sane mind.

The question about, what if, was also the reason he didn't want to interfere with the lives of the people "living" in the world he created, and that was also the reason he wanted to kill all the villains, who had potential to become those who could destroy the world. Though not completely, he had hoped to create a peaceful world, but soon he realised that by doing that he was interfering with the novel, he stopped whatever he was doing and only focused on his own life, trying to hold in his obsession with "mine," which was set loose when he saw Isha get hurt by those he had created.

Anyway, that was another matter, the answers to these questions of his seemed to not be THAT far away from him. And that poses another interesting question: "What would he do if he found answers to these questions?" If the answer he wanted to know turned out to be yes—that somebody was responsible for his past, present, and future turning out like this—then he would do everything that could "definitely" destroy whoever was doing this, but at the same time, it wouldn't be that different if the answer turned out to be otherwise, since the situation right now was definitely on the path of destruction.

As the obsession with "mine" he was trying to hold in broke loose at the very moment Isha was hurt. Of course, it was a natural reaction that would be expected from him, because he, who had lived thousands of years with very few lives he held precious, would definitely want to protect them, which had gradually turned into "his," which he thought he was responsible for.

Ahem, anyway, moving on....

***

On the mana less Earth.

On a normal city road filled with vehicle sounds, exhaust odours, lights, and other things. Snow was seen stacking as it lightly rained down, and people were seen in front of food stalls, eating and warming themselves with the heat from the food being cooked.

A beautiful woman with delicate facial features and an hourglass figure walked down the street as the mouth-watering scent of food from the nearby food stalls trickled into her nostrils. She had rosy cheeks and red ears due to the cold, she was wearing a thick navy-blue hoody over a full-sleeved t-shirt that was beneath another sweatshirt. She also had tight black leather leggings and boots.

"Haaa...." She breathed out hot air and warmed her uncovered hands as she rubbed them against each other; she then tapped on the smartwatch she was wearing.

[10:33 pm.]

GROWL

"Ah...." She then rubbed her stomach which was growling loudly.

'...What should I eat?' She thought and glanced around at a ton of food stalls with people filled around it.

"There is a restaurant around the corner...." She mumbled and paced up.

And as she arrived near the corner, her gaze stopped on the bookstore, which had tons of books on display, including one of her own.

[The survival story of a villain (Fanfic, in remembrance of the original author, Sir Eshwar)]

'I shouldn't have published this fanfic....' She thought.

"Haaa.... I lost my appetite." She mumbled, but still bought a ton of food before walking back the way she came, back to her home.

CLUNK

"Hmm...." She walked into her dark room and locked the door behind her.

It was a single-bedroom apartment. In her room, where almost everything was, there was a small bed that was surrounded by books, novels, clothes, a few kitchen utensils, a few cups of instant noodles, a PC, a wardrobe, and dust. She tossed the food on her bed, took a few, and placed them near the PC before turning it on.

As soon as it turned on, the monitor screen displayed the dashboard of her novel, which was one of her sources of income.

She scrolled down and clicked on reviews.

ShAdoWmoNarch: (2.5 stars)

Author! What is this sh*t? Why the hell is Eshwar (the character) so freaking strong? I mean, seriously? A single chapter to explain how he got so strong? And there was even a sh*t load of plot holes, and many things were never mentioned again! I began to read this after I read that published fanfic, but no, this isn't what I came here for. This story is as bad as the fanfic was good. I am dropping this novel, not for me.

PervyDemoN: (3.5 stars)

If you want a hella strong MC, even though if the story doesn't have any content, then this story is for you.

Blacki69: (4.5 stars)

This is quite good to be honest.

ShaDOWcoP: (1.5 stars)

Nah, what's this? There are many parts of the story which are never mentioned in the story again, many things that are left unattended.

If you want a brief summary of the novel, this is it: Eshwar (the character) is a super-strong MC; how he became that strong is not known properly. He and his one and only lover get manipulated by someone stronger than the MC, who was supposedly the strongest. They both hate each other at the beginning, and though both of them come to love each other, they are unable to open up. Eshwar becomes sadistic as he desperately tries to hold on to her. Many strong characters appear out of nowhere, and all of them hate Eshwar for reasons that were never mentioned.

He then gets the "absolute" weapon named karma, and becomes an absolute being, but somehow he still isn't stronger than the one manipulating him, who then turned out to be his own father, he then for reasons unknown begins to manipulate the main characters of the novel, that too very sloppily, but somehow nobody realises it for whatever reason.

Bruh, that f**king karma weapon is so strong that MC gets x times stronger according to the karma of his opponent. Does that even make sense? If his opponent's karma is 50, then MC becomes 50 times stronger than he already is! Even then, he couldn't defeat his own father! Who is a freaking human? And what is with the gods and goddesses? They are only mentioned here and there. That's f**king it!!!

Do you want to know what the best part is? All of the above is mentioned literally in a single chapter!!

And in another world, MC defeats all the gods! This flipping MC couldn't even defeat his own father!!! AARGGGHHHH!

I am still continuing this story because I am still hoping it will get better, sh*t. Anyway! Respects to the deceased author, Sir Eshwar.

"Haa....what do you guys want me to do? Read it or f**k off! I write what I want!" Seol So-Young yelled in outrage and stuffed her mouth with the Choco lava cake.

"And f**k off, don't criticize my darling Eshwar! I make him as strong as I want! Hmph!" Seol So-Young snorted; reading those comments was like taking in a daily dose of criticism. Why? Even she doesn't know, but she would read all those old reviews and get pissed off about it.

"Arghhh!!!" She yelled in outrage and began to stuff herself with eight more fist sized Choco lava cake.

"Akh!??" And began choking on her favourite dessert.

'F**k...I can't believe... I'm chocking on a... flipping chocolate cake....' she thought as her vision turned blurry.
