Chapter 16 15. MY NOVEL.

I glanced at the figures near the portal; one was wearing a robe, he had brown hair, dark brown eyes, and he was average looking, and the other was wearing light armor and had great sword on his back, he had pony-tailed his red hair that reached his waist, black eyes, and he was almost as handsome as me.

The guy with red hair is 'VINNY GROVER' 'the main character' of the second part of my novel, the guy with brown hair is 'GANG JIWOO' 'the reader' character who is from the first part of my novel.

In first part of my novel 'the main character' is a woman 'KATLINE ROMERO' and the 'wife' of Vinny Grover, and Gang Jiwoo is 'the extra' and 'the reader.'

There are a total of three stories:

1) Story of a woman Katline Romero saving the world by sacrificing herself.

2) First part of my novel is the POV of 'Gang Jiwoo', he helps 'Katline Romero' in saving the world for his own survival at first, later falls in love with her, story flows normally as she still gets wed to 'the male lead' 'Vinny Grover' but she still dies.

3) Second part of my novel is POV of 'the husband' 'Vinny Grover' who regressed to save his wife 'Katline Romero'.

That is the summery of my novels, goddamn, it's simple and complicated at the same time.

Looking at how Vinny's hair is red this must be second part of my novel. They are both too weak to be here; Jiwoo sneaks in to sector one by making as fake ID to steal the rewards, and Vinny also sneaks in here with a fake ID because he hates Dragons and wants ask a question to the Dragon inside the dungeon. They both know of the future.

"Hey, you too." Vinny asked Jiwoo.

"Hey, me too." Jiwoo replied.

"Wait, who are you?" Jiwoo asked with a confused face, as he took a step back.

"Pfft." I laughed; I recognized them.

"They are the main characters of my novel."

That dialogue is a Korean meme, and I wrote it in Vinny's POV to introduce the character Gang Jiwoo in the second part, because Vinny doesn't know Jiwoo is a 'READER,' and everyone in the first part of the novel, including Vinny, thought Jiwoo was a 'REGRESSOR' because he knew the future, and because Vinny thought Jiwoo was a regressor, and now that Vinny has also regressed, I used that meme while thinking from Vinny's perspective.

SWOOSH

BAM

CRACK (3x)

The boulder I was hiding behind cracked, revealing me. Maybe I let my guard down while thinking about the novel, well, it's not like I wasn't going to reveal myself.

"Who are you?" Vinny asked in a horse tone as he took out his great sword from his back, Jiwoo took out his sword and pointed at me, I walked out with my both hands in air.

"Hello?" I said awkwardly.

The world I created; I was very happy when I found out that this world was my novel but looking at the characters I created, I started to have mixed feelings, all the hardships they have to go through.

"Haaa." I sighed as I massaged my nose bridge.

"Who is he? Do you know him?" Vinny whispered at Jiwoo.

My ears perked up as I heard his voice.

"I don't know. No, first, who the f**k are you?" Jiwoo whispered at Vinny.

"Pfft." I laughed.

Jiwoo doesn't recognize Vinny at this point because his hair was short and black before regressing; only after they spend a long time talking here will Jiwoo understand what's going on. I couldn't help but laugh as I watched the scene unfold in front of me.

"Oi, I'm Vinny." Vinny said out loud as he glared at Jiwoo.

"Huh? Vinny?" Jiwoo replied.

"Pfft, pfft hahahaha." I laughed out loud.

"Aye, what are you laughing at?" Vinny asked as he glared at me.

"You!" Vinny said in surprised tone as he glared at me, he seems to have realized who I am.

"Are you MAX?" Vinny asked.

"Yes and no." I calmly replied.

Vinny started to dash at me with his great sword, I calmly pointed at Jiwoo who was staring at us blankly.

"Are you sure? Don't you want explain what's going on to him?" I said calmly.

Vinny's steps came to a halt as he looked back at Jiwoo and turned back to face me.

"I can wait." I said with a smile.

*

Three of us sat on the cold ground in front of a rank-SS dungeon, Gang Jiwoo sat above his robe, which he removed and placed on the ground before he sat because the ground was too cold for him, Vinny sat on the floor enduring the cold, his shoulders were shivering but he didn't show it on his face, and I sat comfortably because I was used to cold.

"So, you're saying you are Vinny, and you regressed?" Jiwoo asked as he stared at Vinny.

Yes, Vinny admits that he regressed in order to save his wife and make Jiwoo his ally. Jiwoo has only read the first part of the novel, so he believes that something different from the original novel has occurred and begins to make plans for the future. Jiwoo is a smart and fearless commander-like character.

"Yes." Vinny answered with a solemn voice.

"And this is 'MAX' the villain?" Jiwoo asked Vinny as he pointed at me.

"Guh."

"Yes." Vinny answered without hesitation, his answer was bit faster this time.

"I'm here too, you know?" I said with a hurt face.

"..... Why are you here Max?" Vinny asked in a serious tone.

"First, I'm not 'Max', I'm Eshwar Frost,"

"Huh?" Jiwoo snapped his head to face me with a bewildered face.

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?" Vinny asked, not minding Jiwoo.

"And let's just say, I have some business in this dungeon, more specifically with the Dragon." I said as I pointed at the dungeon.

".... How do you know there is a dragon in dungeon." Vinny asked as he glanced at me.

Vinny knows that the dungeon has a Dragon in it because he had heard it directly from the thief... ahem Jiwoo, who came here to steal the artifacts.

".... It's just like how you know." I said with a bright smile on my face.

Gang Jiwoo just sat there looking at the ground, pondering about something.

"Okay, wanna join?" I asked as I glanced at Vinny.

"... Sure." Vinny answered back.

We both stood up, Jiwoo was still lost in thought but still stood up with us, me and Vinny walked towards the portal, Jiwoo stood still where we sat.

Vinny and I stood beside the portal and glanced at Jiwoo who stood still, I don't know what he was thinking so deeply, hmmm... maybe he is making future plans in order to survive here, as he has a new ally who knows the future now, he must be making new plans with Vinny as a new variable.

"Ah!" Jiwoo exclaimed and glanced at us with twinkling eyes.

'Oh, he must have thought of an amazing plan.' I thought and nodded my head in satisfaction. 'Yes, Jiwoo is smart, he must have come up with a better plan considering some variables.' I glanced at Jiwoo, but then something unexpected happened: Jiwoo pointed at me and screamed in delight.

"Sir Eshwar! The Author."
