"Sigh... What can I do to improve this story? How I wish that writing a story is as easy as dreaming"

Complained a man who is almost 21 years old but has a scrawny build like a 16-year-old teen, laying on his bed while holding his old model android phone that he's using to write a novel.

"Man... I need to take a shower now, mom's coming home later..."

I walked out of my room and saw my little brother listening to the news.

[Advice to all the citizens of City xx, stay at your house later at night if you have no important thing to do outside. A typhoon will hit the country later which will cause heavy rainfall and strong wind. The super typhoon is estimated to come inside the country 3 hours later. Stay safe everyone. This is your weather news reporter, Dave reporting!]

"Hey, what do you want for dinner tonight"

I asked my little brother.

"Anything is fine. Ask Mom later what she wants, she's the one who will cook anyway"

He's right, why did I bother to ask him it's not like I'm the one who will cook. Even if I try to... Sigh never mind. I sighed as I walked to the bathroom and remembered the time that I cooked for them. That was devastating.

"Lalala~lala~la" I sang as I feel the cold water drench my body. 'I need to hurry up, mom will be pissed if I fetched her late'

As I grabbed the towel preparing to dry myself before going out, I felt a stinging in my hand that I used to grab the towel.

"Ouch. What was that?!"

I yelled as I threw the towel. Still feeling the stinging pain, I looked at my hand trying to look for something that caused the pain. I notice that there's a small bite mark right in the middle of my palm.

"Was it a small snake hidden inside the towel?"

I shuddered thinking about what would happen if it was something super venomous. I kicked the towel while holding the doorknob of the bathroom door, ready to run even if I'm butt naked if there was a snake hidden in the towel.

When the towel flew at the corner due to the force of my kick, that's when I saw the thing that bit me, an alien-looking grey bug.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

I sighed and thanked God that it was not a snake, but then I was terrified again because of the sheer size of this bug.

"Fck... Isn't this bug too big? It's almost an inch"

"Hey, Vin. Mom texted me saying she was almost at the bus stop, hurry up there and fetch her, the sky was getting dark. She said that if she gets caught up in the rain she'll smack the hell out of you!"

"Shit, I almost forgot" I yelled when I heard my brother's voice. Looking at the unmoving bug again before getting the towel that flew in the corner of the bathroom. 'Maybe it died when I kicked it?' Ha.. serves you right, that's for biting me you stupid bug. I chuckled as I opened the door and got out of the bathroom.

"Text her and say that I'm coming."

I hurried up to my room to get dressed, I grabbed my phone, before picking a black shirt and grey shorts to wear before going out.

"I'm going out now."

I looked at my brother that still watching TV.

"Yeah. Take care!" He said as I closed the door.

Checking out the time displayed on my phone. 'Yeah, I can still get there in 20 mins' I thought as I put the phone inside my pocket before riding my motorcycle.

25 mins later.

I parked the motorcycle near my mom as I saw her waiting at the corner of the store.

"Hi, Mom! Sorry for making you wait for me"

She looked at me before saying.

"It's okay, I just got here. Hurry up, let's go home before it rains"

"Okay let's go"

38 mins later.

"Welcome home, Mom!"

My little brother said after he saw us coming inside.

"Hi, honey. Are you finished with your homework today?"

I smiled as I saw my mom smiling while she was talking to my little brother. I know that my little brother is my mom's favorite and I'm not jealous of that. I know that my little brother needs my mom's attention and care more than me because he was just a baby when my father got arrested.

'Mom is hard working' I smiled as I thought about the past. My mother was the only one who raised us when my father got arrested for attempted murder and other gang-related cases.

"Mom I'm going inside my bedroom now"

Walking to my room while trying to forget about the past. I sat in my bed as soon as I got inside the room.

"Now I'm getting sleepy"

I whispered to myself before hearing my mom yell.

"Vin, don't sleep yet. Come outside later for dinner. It'll be ready in an hour"

"Got it, Mom!"

I lay my body down in bed before reaching out for my phone inside my pocket. 'hmmm, let me try to write a chapter before mom finishes cooking'

"Hmmm... he should be merciless because of the place I put him in"

'First, let me change my plan for the opponents that my Main Character will face'

"Maybe I should change my plan for the opponents that he will face and not make them all too calculative and too smart"

"Right. If I made them all too smart, the readers would not buy the reasons why he always survives"

"Okay, that's it. I'll make the 65% of the opponents smart, the rest will be arrogant and brainless like those young masters from the xianxia novels" Hehe...

Sorry for making you suffer a little my precious main character. I laughed before pondering 'Wait, if I make 35% of them like those young masters, will it not be making me too suffer?'

Thinking about those cliche scenarios where when you killed the young master - comes the father, kills the father - comes the grandfather, kills the grandfather - comes the ancestor, and to mega ultra supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ancient ancestor.

"Sigh... It's really hard to write a story." Sob~ (⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠)

'Hays.. It's alright, some readers like those kinds of scenes anyway'

While I was still thinking about how hard to write a story I heard my mom's voice calling me.

"Vin, dinner's ready"

"Coming"

I got up from my bed and looked one more time at my phone. As I was just about to save my drafts, I felt a burning pain in my hand. 'Argh... What the f-'

**Thud**

Unknowingly, I fell into the ground clutching my chest as I heard my heart thumping louder and louder before losing my vision. The last sound that I heard was my mom screaming something. I tried to move my body and successfully moved my other arm that was holding my phone... 'It feels like I'm falling out of the building'

That's the last thought I had before the darkness consumed me.

[DING..]

[SAVED SUCCESSFULLY.]
