April 8, 20XX

Note: Let the 4th wall breaks begin!

If you won't give me the role...

"I'll force you myself, author! I bet you even used a name generator in creating my name, give me some screentime, dammit!"

In order to force the author into giving me an MC role, I have to blackmail him. Yes! By means of COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT! And all I have to do is say the name of a certain company.

"Dithney."

Huh?

"DITHHHNEY!"

My tongue... it won't say the word. How dare you...

"DITHHHNEY! DITHHHNEY! DITHHHNEY! DITHHHNEY! DITHHHNEY! DITHHHNEY! Walt Dithney!"

That ain't gonna stop me!

I looked around and searched my surroundings. I stumbled upon my bag and I found what might possibly be… my key to victory.

PAPER! Yes, I have some in my bag! If I'm not gonna get MC, I'm taking down yer story with you! TAKE THAT!

I took some paper sheets and place them on top of my desk. I drew a circle, then another circle tangent to the circle to the top left.

Now for the top right! IT'S THE END OF YER STORY! The mouse shall end my suffering!

Snap.

My pencil broke...

"AGAIN!"

I took out another pencil from my bag and pressed it against my drawing.

Snap.

"AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN!"

Snap. Snap. Snap. Snap. Snap. Snap. Snap. Snap.

My pencil broke each time it pressed the sheet of paper. I’ve run out of pencils.

I-Is this the end?

I rummaged through my bag one more time and found hope.

It’s not over! I’m not out of options, I have hope!

I took out my one and only gel pen. Shame, it isn’t a sign pen, but surely there is no excuse for this to break.

I WILL WIN THIS WAR!

My pen’s tip pressed against the paper and it didn’t break.

TAKE THE L!

..

.

Of course, I celebrated too early. Because once the tip of my pen brushed against my artistic masterpiece, it blotted everywhere.

I-I should’ve cleaned its tip.

I banged my hands upon my desk and the messy paper. I looked up at the ceiling and cursed my creator.

"So you're playing dirty, eh? Fine. I'll let your story live, cause without it I won't become an MC."

I repeated my statement to make it clear that I wasn’t giving up.

"For now… HEAR THAT AUTHOR, FOR NOW!"

April 9, 20XX

I strolled through the hallway peacefully.

It's the last day of the first week of school and I'm still lonely.

"Someone please acknowledge my existence."

I redacted my statement since there was one particular person who did.

"Not you, author. Curse you!"

Someone walked with books and again, like last time, the person hits me. We were both pushed back.

Ouch... Not this again.

"Sorry," the person apologized.

"Hey! What's the big idea? You blind? Look where you're going b*tc-"

Eh?

I hadn’t noticed the gender of the person who hit me and once it did come to mind, it was too late.

"You didn't have to be so blunt," the girl said.

"Ah, sorry..."

She quickly grabbed her books and immediately escaped the scene. The people were murmuring around me.

"Trash..."

"Scum..."

I was struck by gloom.

Author gave me a chance, and yet he knew my mind was filled with the thought of revenge.

I gritted my teeth in extreme anger.

I stared at the window panes. I opened them and I yelled to the heavens from above, hoping that my scummy creator could hear my voice.

"YOU DID THIS ON PURPOSE DIDN'T YA! Fine, I'll end your story early. No one would bother to read or watch it. And that's what I'm gonna do."

..

.

I arrived outside of my room, Classroom 2-1.

I saw a man surrounded by girls, one clinging and two talking with him near the door.

Perfect. It's the Rom-com Protagonist. I'll ruin his story by barging in and saying nonsense that the readers and watchers won't bother to read, and I'll make it vulgar and loud! PERFECT! Absolutely devious. I would like to see the look on his face when no one cares about his story, especially at the disgust of the viewers right now.

"Kazu-kun! Would you like dinner? A bath? Or me?" the clinging girl asked the Rom-com protagonist.

"Do not tarnish Tamaki-kun's last name, Morine Emiko-san," the other girl to the Rom-com Protagonist’s northwest replied.

"Heheheh, it's Kazuhiko-kun for me," the girl to his northeast replied.

What are you saying, Emiko-san? We are in school, you shouldn't say that," Tamaki, the Rom-com protagonist answered.

"Why shouldn't I? Hmph!" Morine Emiko asked with a pout.

I’ve had enough of their nonsense that I decided to call them.

"Hey!"

"Aw, don't be like that, Emiko-san. I'll give you sweets later if you behave," Tamaki offered.

I call them again.

"HEY!" I yelled.

"YAY!!!" Morine cheered.

Being straight out ignored, eh. Wait 'till they get a load of this.

I touched Tamaki's shoulders. He finally turned his attention to me.

I began my rant.

"Can I just say that you're the biggest piece of sh*t I've ever heard, and then you are a dense motherf*cker, can you just shut up, people like you disgust me the most, people like you make me want to drop dead cause of always saying 'I didn't know you loved me,' when they keep clinging to you unnaturally, are you that braindead? Drop dead, oh, and you aren't that handsome, you know? I've seen better faces than you, yet scum like you get the attention, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, don't you dare talk to me-"

"Hey, chill down for a minut-" Morine interrupted.

However, I pay her no mind and proceed with my diss.

"Don't touch me, don't even look at me, oh am I taking up your precious time for 'CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT', THAT'S NONSENSE! I hate you, I despise yo-"

The northwest girl interrupted, "I can't understand anything you're sayi-"

But who cares about her? So I proceed with my rant.

"Shut up! Don't say anything. We all know the readers and watchers hate you and despite all that for some reason the girls still love you, I hate you and the author, both of you are so unoriginal, and then for some reason, girls out of nowhere appear again for 'plot development' and in the end, you just prolonged and milked your series and wasted their time when their best girl doesn't win, I'm getting tired of using words that make sense so the rest would just be filled of curses. F*ck you! B*llshit! Curse you! Motherf*cker!"

The northeast girl suggested to them, "Just let him finish, this is getting nowhe-"

"I'm all out of curses so I'm gonna spout out some nonsense! ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA! YOU LIKE JOJO REFERENCES RIGHT! ORA ORA ORA ORA! Let me waste your time some more. Blah Blah Bleh Bleh, all right I'm out."

I breathed heavily. Silence filled the area.

Guess I made things awkward.

I coughed and coughed and fell to my knees.

Water! I need water!

I plead weakly.

"Watuh, w-a-tuh, plis."

I uttered gibberish as I pant. I’m almost out of breath.

Well, this is embarrassing.

I tried to meet their gazes, but no one dared to. They all looked away from each other. I muster the courage to ask one more time for my needs.

"Somebody gimme water, please!"

Ring. Ring.

The school bell rang.

"We're just gonna back to class..." Tamaki excused.

The girls' nodded with him and they went inside the classroom at the same time.

Wheeze.

"Pleaseeee, have mercy..."

Cough. Wheeze.

What was I doing again?

  • Update on the Series

    Guys, I really apologize for not updating for so long. My parents do not allow me to write, and it's a lot harder especially since I'm in high school, so I have to focus a bit more on my studies. However, that doesn't mean I'm abandoning this series or the other, it's just on hold. Please do expect an update somewhere around summer, perhaps June or July? Around those dates. Please continue to follow my series and follow my twitter if you can. You can simply search my author name and it pops up. Thank you for understanding! And that is all for now! Might drop a special chapter soon, a special, "might".

    5:21 PMI was on a call with Arata."WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T GIVE HER THE POTION?!" I retaliated."Sorry, Kibe. I really am.""THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE HER THE FREAKING LOVE POTION?!""Kibe, don't you think trying to court her for a single rooftop is already foolish? More so with the love potion… even we have a line to draw.""DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY THINGS I HAD TO DO FOR THAT POTION?!"Aside from persuasion, I technically haven't done anything for that potion, but 'will'."I deeply apologize for my selfish actions."I sat on my bed morosely contemplating. I rubbed my fingers on my forehead.This is what I get for trusting other people… no, this isn't the time I should be doubting my accomplices. I know his progress is doing relatively fast but perhaps a week may have been pushing it to the limit."Fine, we'll have to start the challenges now," I declared."Even without you?""We have to move things somewhere. I can't keep waiting here, so inform the rest of them tomorrow or even me

  • EPISODE 33 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 14)

    The background became an eyesore once more because of the oversaturated colors. I decided to look down at the floor as I passed through the class to avoid seeing these painful colors, as well as avoid meeting anyone's gaze, as failure to do so, will give my own classmates a dinner known as me. To ease my hand, I tucked my phone into my shorts' left pocket.I took a short glance at the critters that I once recognized as my classmates. Their gazes shot everywhere. Their breathing was erratic. Most importantly… their faces were hungry, not for food, mind you. Even our teacher was losing control, he wasn't even teaching. He just sat silently.Everyone must still be short-circuiting from the sudden transition.I decided to ignore the scenery before me and tried to find Okada.I tried to find her everywhere but she just wasn't there. I turned around to see that she was the very first person to the door I just entered.Bro… Did I really just miss her because I looked down?I sighed in disapp

  • EPISODE 32 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 13)

    "But how will I do that?" I asked myself, "Do I bribe Okada again?"If so, what can I even offer to her? I owe her for last time and hadn't even repaid her yet.I crossed my fingers."Got nothing else to do other than hope."I stood up and walked in circles."However, there is another problem that arises... I am supposed to be phoned in sick and since Okada is in the same class as I am... there is a high chance that I get spotted if I get close to her."Should I make use of the Overruling Statement again? But then again, a Slice-of-Life Protagonist regardless of gender has broad application over various genres and is included in almost all. Even if their role was diminished even for a slight second, they would remain a side character which only takes away their ability and frequency to interact but does not change their personality in any way."What I'm saying is if they see me, they're not going to forget it."Then should I ask Mieko once more for help?I scratched my head at the ide

    We went down to the first floor where we took a break from the intense confrontation. "I can't believe that actually worked," Yoshida said in disbelief. "What did I tell you?" I responded in a smug manner. Arata went down the escalator and approached us. "Arata! Our hero and savior," Hara chanted. "Why didn't any of you pick up your phones?" Arata asked. "There was no signal here," I answered. I checked my phone only to see that there was now a signal. "There's a signal right there," Arata pointed out. "Look, I'm not lying. It just happens that there is one right now. Why don't we set aside all this for now and call it a day?" "Hmm, I guess..." "Hey, what about the subjugation plan? The plan to conquer Mari? Whatever happened to your progress? Inform us." "Things are... progressing. I was able to exchange messages with her since she accepted my friend request just earlier." I was baffled. I was overjoyed. I did not expect my seeds of progress to be growing at such a rapid
