Author's Destiny in The Novel



"OH hey Asher, what're you doing here?"

'Dammit'

'Goddammit, NOO'

Both Asher and Anthony cried out, internally. One was annoyed at being dragged into an annoying situation whereas the other was sweating buckets at having encountered that monster in a test where one was allowed to kill others. Nobody wanted to die even if it was virtually, the pain was realistic after all!

As Alex called out to Asher, Lucia visibly lowered her guard which she had slightly brought up due to the presence of an unidentified individual. Being one of the strongest people amongst those currently taking the exam, she didn't need to pay much attention to each and every single person.

"So you know him?", Lucia questioned Alex while glancing at the devilishly handsome man with an ice cold face.

"Oh yeah, meet Asher, he's our dormmate and a pretty cool guy."

Asher waved at Lucia nonchalantly as Alex explained who he was to her. He didn't want to be here but now that he was, he wouldn't mind getting a free carry out of them.

Anthony and Alex were protagonists which also meant that they were pushovers he could use to easily get into the top spots.

On the other hand, Lucia scrunched up her brows as she glanced at the man. Normally she would have liked to eliminate this person but now that she knew he was their dormmate, she couldn't do so.

Eliminating your own dormmate could cause relationship problems with them for the next few years of your Academy life, which is something most people would like to avoid. (Most people wouldn't like you if you killed them even if it's during this exam as it's extremely realistic. And then given the fact that you're supposed to stay with this person for the next few years, you'd ideally want to maintain a good relationship with him.)

"Are you also separated from your team? In that case, why don't you come with us? It's the same for all of us so we plan to work together until the end."

Anthony offered him the same deal the rest of them were working with while occasionally eyeing Alex with anger, mostly due to what happened with Lucia before. (Alex groped Lucia two chapters ago if you guys don't remember.. yeah you probably don't)

"Sure, a while ago my team was ambushed so we all ran in opposite directions. Guess I'll be sticking with you guys for a while." Asher offered a handshake to Lucia who was looking at him intently.

Normally, giving out this information about your team being ambushed would have been a bad idea, but these stupid protagonists who lacked a brain probably couldn't come up with anything harmful.

Soon, Asher and the others took off from the small hill, slowly journeying towards the center of the map while keeping a lookout for any orbs lying around.

Along the way, they found out another individual - a woman with Black hair and Red eyes. It was the beauty who originally sat down next to Asher during the class.

"Oh hello there, I'm Alex. Are you perhaps also separated from your teammates?"

Alex waved out, a bit more enthusiastic than usual, given the simp he was while Lucia frowned for a moment at Alex's behavior before returning to her poker face.

"Y-Yeah, I'm Lucy. By any chance, are you all also separated from your groups?"

Lucy who was originally afraid of having encountered a group while being all alone had a smile plastered on her face after hearing Alex's remarks.

Finally getting the confirmation, Alex didn't waste any time and hurriedly asked her, "So would you like to joi-"

Meanwhile, upon seeing a beautiful girl roaming around alone in the forest with barely any people around, Asher decided to do the only thing any sane man would do.

Asher ran up to Lucy and stabbed her in the gut!

(Author: Trust me, if you want girls.. this is the way to go on about it! I'm never wrong, Hmph!)

Alex was flabbergasted as he saw the beautiful black haired beauty get stabbed right in front of him.

"Alright, let's move on", Asher casually pointed out the way to the center and began to walk at a steady pace without even bothering to look back.

After a while, he noticed that the two guys weren't moving at all so he looked back.

Lucia was following him while nodding at him in an appreciative manner, feeling quite happy about how he killed that woman. On the other hand, the two boys looked like they had eaten sh*t for breakfast, making complicated faces while simply staring at Asher.

In response, Asher did the logical thing any dictator would do. Raise his Sword while putting on a mad grin and giving them a threatening glance, making both Alex and Anthony gulp in fear.

Anthony had already been scarred for life before regressing by watching the horrifying version of Asher while the sword from his emotionless dormmate was enough to give Alex the chills.

They nodded simultaneously and took off, not wanting to further anger their dormmate.

After a while, Asher gradually began to slow up, letting Lucia and the others overtake him, simply following behind them.

Alex and Anthony had been trying to strike up a conversation with Lucia to get to know about her interests. Or so it was for Alex while Anthony did it for formal purposes, given the fact that he already knew everything about her.

Quite some time had passed by and they had eliminated several other people by this point. The group was sure that they were either in the top 10 or simply extremely close to it. In fact, they were gradually approaching the final hour of this battle royale.

"So Lucia, would you like to grab a drink with me one of these da-" (Author: You might have noticed how I often like to cut off Alex's sentences. Why is that? Because I'm evil muehehehe..)

At this moment, the heads of all, Alex, Anthony, and Lucia rolled off. The final thing they saw as their heads spun mid-air was the body of Asher lying down on the ground with blood soaking his entire back.

'Just what happened? JUST WHO AMBUSHED THEM!!?'

(This is a mental domain. These aren't their actual bodies so they were somehow able to see even after getting their heads cut off. How this works is that their souls are pulled out once these bodies' "HP" drops to zero. Essentially, if one was a master in the art of souls, they could live on even after getting their heads cut off in real life.)

After all three of them finally died, Asher slowly got off the ground while taking out a tissue to wipe out the ketchup from his back. He was almost sure that he had gotten into the top 10 even before the three of them died but there was an off chance that there were perhaps 11 or 12 people alive.

Not wanting to take a chance, Asher killed them off while making them think that he wasn't the cause of this. There was no point in angering them after all when he could simply make it look like even he was ambushed alongside them.

Now, even Asher was sure that he had entered the top 10 so there was no point in staying alive any longer to draw extra attention to himself. He drew out his sword and stabbed himself, thus getting eliminated.
