《I Don't Want To Be HERO Of My Novel !》 Survival (1) " The Soul of the Novel The Traditional Hero Welcomes Author " A message popped up in front of me but I can''t stop playing hide and seek with those bloody wolf like monsters. That Damn old man, I thought he was kidding by saying that he will help me in completing the novel but he actually sent me in novel and the most interesting thing is that he sent me in the worst scene for any newbie to start his journey "The Forbidden forest of Cursed Ruins". I know about it because it is the same as I described in my novel, But why am i here . The Urja or Energy concentration is so high here that it is suffocating to be just here even wild animals muted themselves to keep living. That Damn toothless old man sent me here to die, i will make him pay when I will return to my World. I will never forget his so called GoodBye smile. I have been running and hiding since last night. I am damn hungry and can''t think of anything except running. It is so much dreadful situation that i can''t even complain about it loudly. Resting myself on the back of a broken pillar sentence came out from my dry mouth without thinking " How can I get out from this forest ? " "there are two options." It was a voice more like a whisper but it was clear. '' Am I hallucinating or it is like things happens before someone dies.'' I was planning to ignore it but next line from voice didn''t let me ignore it . " The Soul of Novel The Traditional Hero Welcomes The Author " Lots of questions was whirling in my mind but only one question squeezed out.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. "What are you ?" A voice more cheerful than last replied " I am the soul of the novel you created, I am like the essence of the story. My role is to act as a support system for Author till the tutorial end. " " Well i can understand that much. Now Tell me the options ." I couldn''t help feeling relive.But still this makes me sick. " Option First - If you will die you will sent to scheduled place of starting of story " This makes chill run down from my spine. Isn''t it just too ridiculous. " How is that Possible" I couldn''t help but yell on her. Despite my yelling an excited voice came from her mouth -" This is one of the Author Privileges. The Author has three lifelines. One the Author dies, he will be sent back to the last checkpoint. This privilege "Lifeline" is only valid in tutorial mode." "What will happen after 3 times" I think I know the answer so i don''t want to hear it from her. But i can''t stop shivering after hearing " Your existence will be erased from this world as well as original world ". It sounds ridiculous but I don''t want to get out from here by dying. Understanding my feelings she didn''t wait for my words and stated next option. "Option second - You can use Gates that appear in ruins for random locations in this world " '' Was it really like this in novel that I wrote ?'' Sigh,This is tiring. "Hey soul, Where and when the Gate appear next" In a monotone voice, She replied -" 10 Km away in north east direction from here within 7 Days ". That means I have to survive here 7 days. Tears flowed down from my eyes.That damn old man, how can I survive here ? "Hey soul , Is there anything edible here ?" "Within the range of 100 Km nothing is edible except monsters " "WHAAAT" Survival (2) "Are you kidding me. How can i eat monsters? Aren''t they harmful? " " Indeed their meat is poisonous to humans but you will not die author. You are in tutorial mode so you can''t die until you are severely wounded." Well i don''t like her but her words are assuring. But the biggest issue is how can i catch a monster. I haven''t caught a fish till now and i have to survive here 7 more days. ''You can''t see my tears but you know i am crying.'' Huhh it feels like my stomach is shouting on me . Since I am physically weak ,I will use my mind. " Hahaha,cough" I am not excited ,it just i couldn''t help but laugh at my situation. I am going to use one of the most famous hunting tricks. I will make a bow and arrows and hunt wild monsters. Let''s search for materials in ruins. After searching for only five minute i found a bow. It was quite old but i can use it. I found some arrow like things nearby it. It was more like sticks then arrow. "Now let''s hunt" I declared it with all my power. My thoughts and planning were crushed brutally by those monsters.They are damn fast. After wasting nearly five hours I was able to catch a rabbit monsters." Actually I didn''t catch it ,I just stole it from someone." Let''s eat it. I Used an Arrow head to dismantle its skin. First time in my life I am going to eat raw meat. It had disgusting taste. It was like eating mud in swamp. I used all my remaining willpower to finish it.'' Damn that old man.''This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. Maybe due to poison in its meat , i started feeling dizzy. So I climbed one of the thick walls of ruin and laid down. After that my consciousness fade away. When I woke up , it was already night. So I decided to spend my whole night sitting there. Then message started popping up in front of my eyes. " Darkmoon Rabbit meat has been consumed " " Strength and Agility have been improved slightly" " Author crossed minimum Thrashold " "Basic functions of this world unlocked for Author " " Author can see its status " I will yell "What the hell is this " if i wasn''t its author. Why is it happening now, I shouldn''t be able to see it until I join any Parivar . " Hey soul, are you there? " "Yes I am, what do you want ?" Is she sulking that i am not talkative with her ? She is hard to understand like existence. "Why I can see my status before joining any parivar" "Because you are Author" Her monotone replies are hurting my ears. Status are numerical data that represents various characteristics of a specific person. A person''s status is not available until a god infused his Urja into him and create a channel to measure his or her characteristics. A god can transfer urja in many ways. One of the ways is by performing rituals. Some God can use their blood to form the channel. After forming channel , Hightech machines are needed to get a numerical result of it. So the question is simple." Soul, How can i see my status ? " After a short pause she replied in a cheerful voice - " Author needs to recite ''Help me soul'' to open status " I recited it in excitement but nothing happened. I tried again but still the result was the same. "I am kidding Author, Just recite ''Status'' to open it " It feels like I am seeing her mocking smile . Isn''t she started behaving more familiarly ? When I recite ''status'' a report card like image popped up in front of me. And "What the hell is this".
