LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 3: the deal has been made
Thomas sits on a sofa; in front of him is a dining table where there are many dishes. This time he was in the middle of a beach, under a coconut tree. The satisfying sound of the sea and chirping of birds spreading throughout the area.
"Alright, so we have a deal, right? You will play the role of the main character, and I will continue the story; if things go right, you might be able to go back to your world," Voice enters Thomas's head while he is pasta.
"Hmm," Thomas nodded while the food was in his mouth. "But what's the genre, tell me some basic things first"
"Hmm, that's cool, a bit more about the story, main plot and stuff"
"DON'T give me spoilers alright" Thomas murmured. "I hate spoilers"
Outer remains silent for a while, before replying. "You just have to beat the demon king, that's it, yeah…. You will also have a system, and you will be born as a son of a baron. Is there anything else you are interested in?
"Mmm, that's pretty generic to be honest. Is it your first time writing a story?"
"Well, it's still better than… my first story is still better than your last kick; I guess that guy is still waiting for the ball."
"If you make fun of me then I won't play the MC role" Thomas hits the table after shouting at outer, but it didn't caused any noise or damage to the food
"Noo, okay, I will be the MC, ok, I'm sorry", Thomas shouted, closing his eyes, holding his ear, bowing his head.
"By the way, I wanna ask something", Thomas said while rubbing the back of his hair. "Why did you give that guy too much chicken to eat? I know that you did that with me as a punishment, but why with him?"
Outer looks down pressing lips against each other.
Thomas's eyes widened, mouth agape. "That's…" Thomas replied gently. "I'm sorry to hear that" Thomas slowly raises his head and clenches his fist. "I will… for you, I will eat a whole fried chicken"
"Yes, for you, my friend." Thomas said as he narrowed his eyes. Outers served him all the dishes made from chicken that he got from Google. He looks at the whole Chicken with determination before holding both of its legs with two hands.
His breathing got Faster, his heartbeat got faster. Thomas stayed in that situation staring at both of its thick legs. The tension increased, his heartbeat increased, his breathing got deeper and faster.
"Ahh, ok, if you say" All the chicken dishes were replaced with random dishes.
"Deal" Thomas replied before nodding once. [Click] A sound reaches Thomas's ear before a blue screen appears In Front of him. "Why do you have to talk with this cliche system stuff?" Thomas asks, squinting his eyes.
"No, systems are completely overused; if you like gaming, just go play a game; why would you insert a game inside the story, and why are you lying to me? We just made a deal didn't we"
"I don't know what you are talking about, system sucks, plot armour and golden fingers also sucks, to sum it up, even isekai sucks"
<.... You are in one tho… isekai novel… and you want to have fun too>
"That's because, well, that's–" Thomas was scratching his head as his gaze shifted into side-eyes before the author intervened with a composed voice.
Thomas turns his head towards the screen.
[The deal has been made.
Two of you will have to follow certain rules.
1 - The author can't do things that don't make sense in that world. (Except a few things like - adding memories into someone's mind, but it shouldn't contradict the previous memory of the person.
2- MC can wish to change the plot if he doesn't like it, but the story has to have gifts received by the fans.]
"That's what it says." Thomas says while looking at the word "gifts". "The first rule, isn't it common sense," Thomas says, expecting some response from outer, but he stays quiet. "Dude?"
"Well, it's a good thing that I can get a chance to change the plot, but would anyone even read your story?"
"Nothing"
"Wait, that weird guy"
Yes, but I won't give him pizza and ice cream to eat so don't worry
"Nah dude, it's fine, you can–"
"No, male god is fine"
"Wellcome human"
