chapter 1

And I think it's fine to let go sometimes. We can't fend on to sadness forever. Everyone faces them and I support them in every way. But the thing is. in this game of life THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING MENTIONED ABOUT HOW TO RUN FROM A FREAKING DRAGON!!!

some time ago, 21st century

''One more order coming right up!'' I said nearly shouting at the top of my lungs. Well, I was quite a hectic day at the Chinese restaurant. I worked part time here while remaining a college student. my life is quite the ordinary if I say. Working 3 part time jobs just to keep my scholarship while trying to pay my family debt was terrifying. I was engrossed in my thoughts when I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder. I looked around to see who it was when I saw miss Ahn smiling at me. miss Ahn was the owner of this restaurant and I must say she looked quite young when she is 50 years old.'' are you worried about your parent's debt? '' she said putting on a warm smile. miss Ahn had been a mother to me more than my biological mother. to my parents I was a burden. I wasn't to ease their burden by helping with their debt.'' Miss Ahn, I am fine '' I said. '' Aiyaa, this girl'' saying this she hugged me and said '' don't worry about it, '' being in her embraced felt like crying but I was on shift, and I would ruin the mascara i have on.'' no, I am not sad. LET'S FINISH THIS SHIFT!'' I said being my old euthanasic self.  I don't want others to pity me for something I can't control. So, it is better to hide it them let others pity me.

I am Jane Williams. A third-year pharmacy student who is just as half dead while trying to get a degree. My shift ended half an hour ago. WELL, it was quite a hectic day! I said while stretching my body as wide as I could in exhaustion. 'Man, I warm bath would be nice right now''. I started walking down the streets of Seoul and towards my apartment. Wondering about my life. Would it be different if I choose my happiness? I didn't realize I was coming close to the busier street of the city and suddenly I was hit by a truck ...Wa..a.ss th..is th..e end of my life? I still haven't paid the debt; I never lived a day for myself. How could I die just like that? .my eyelids were getting heavy and my whole body ached in pain. it felt like I was drowning. why? Don't I deserve a happy life like the others? Looks like I wasn't the hero of the story Afterall. I said smiling faintly. Don't the heroes have tragic backstories, and they die glorious deaths? '' looks like I was the villain, they will not weep but celebrate and dance on my grave'' Maybe this is for the better. I reached up a hand towards the sky. The night sky in Seoul today was exceptionally beautiful. ''Goodbye, I hope I never get born again''.

''Some people are born with tragedy in their bloods''.
