Have you ever wanted something so bad, but when you get it. It comes out totally different from you were expecting.
Life truly has its ups and downs, expectations only give one a false hope of what should happen only to be let down.
Hey, my name is Draydon, Draydon Cosmos. I'm just your run of the mill otaku boy. Living life just meandering about. I want excitement in my life. Not the ones from crime, or tournaments for sports, no. I want the ones from isekai anime where the main guy is just up in a new world and magically gets a harem of females. Like the women in that world have never seen a man in their life just devote their lives to him because he's the MC. I want that in my life. Fighting against beasts or evil villains. Saving the world, all that jazz.
I discovered this obsession of mine when I was just a wee boy. The age of 8, where I started watching anime. Since then, I always dreamed of one day becoming a MC in a different world with magic, skills, princesses, monster girls, you get the idea. That was until I actually lived that experience, that I regretted it entirely.

It all started when I was at home. My phone started ringing whole I was on youtube looking at some anime songs to sing to, normal weeb shut.
"A PHONE CALL IS HERE, A PHONE CALL IS HE-" I pick it up.
"Tis I" 'Oh, it's my boi, Alexander' We've been friends for like two years now, but it seems we've been best buds forever.
"Sup, bro?" I answer like I typically do.
"Dude, check online! People are dissappearing. This could be our chance!" He frantically tells me since we both have the same interests.
"It might be bogus though, you know typical fake news." I skeptically answer from the real world depressing my mind.
"Dude, you have to let her go. Just because the girl you liked had a bf, doesn't mean it's the end of the world. There's plenty of fish in the sea."
"Okay." 'Easy for you to say. You got together with your highschool crush, who is now your fiancee.'
"Aight, bro. Catch you later"
"Later" The phone hangs up. I let out a big sigh while looking up at my ceiling.
'She could've been the one. Why do I crush on girls so hard....'
