1 The Beginning

It ended. But my heart felt as empty as my brain. I didn't know whether I should be happy or sad after finally finishing the very last panel of the Webtoon's unpublished chapter. I spent my precious five years on this project.

I still remember the first time when a famous novel writer called me by phone and said that she was going to hire me as her Webtoon artist. I was very proud of myself that day, so I decided to drop out of college and focus on my new job as a contracted artist.

But honestly, it was not the best choice that I've ever made.

The workload was just too much that I didn't even have time to only get a night of proper sleep. Even though this job lets me work in my personal room, it doesn't mean that I have to turn my room into a jail for myself!

Gahhh. I shouldn't be like this.

Despite all the bad things, the salary was pretty good and I could even send my sister to college.

At least, I could save her from being a failure like me.

Today, I plan to use my savings for solo traveling around the world. I have checked the flight routes to the closest country that I would love to visit, Japan.

Manga. Anime. Nendoroid. Figurine. And of course, Waifuu!!!

I had to thank them all because, without them, I will never be able to draw and get a job as an artist.

Right now, I stood on my feet while holding my precious pen display. The final chapter of the Webtoon was a nice ending.

Both the MC and Villain had agreed on world peace.

Finally, I will never draw them again.

I still remember the first time I sketched them. The MC visual has made the readers fall in love at the first glance.

But for the Villain, readers were complaining about his appearance, especially his face that was wrecked on one side due to the severe burns he got from the story.

I didn't even know why they blamed me instead of the author on that day.

[New Message!]

[Author Josephine: Thank you for your hard work, Damon. I hope you enjoy your holiday. Let's discuss the new project when you get back (':]

That damn witch! I am waiting for my extra salary! Not your new project!

*Gosh*

I didn't know why she could be a famous novel writer like that.

All of her staff are suffering from the workloads she gave. I was the only one who could survive working with her for more than a year. Normally, her staff will just disappear after the first week or two.

Okay, I don't want to think about her for now. It ruined my special freedom day.

And my bath was ready. I would like to relax my muscles a bit.

I moved my naked body into the bathtub filled with warm water. It removed my stress like magic and I decided to close my eyes tight.

*tuck* *tuck*

"Ahhhhhhh…finally…goodbye my boring old days…"

*tuck* *tuck*

"Ahhhh…I am going to build my new life."

*tuck* *tuck*

"Ummm…maybe collecting waifuus when I visit Japan will be nice."

*tuck* *tuck*

"Just what the hell is that annoying sound?!"

I opened my eyes when I saw a broken cable from the water heater knocking on the corner of my bathtub with an electric current sparking like a mini thunder.

"Oh no…"

*Zzaapp*

And thus how Damon lost his life. The high voltage of Electric Shock plus the water covering his body. No one can survive this dangerous combo.

…

*Drip* *Drip* *Drip*

The sounds of something dripping could be heard by a young man figure who was laying on the ceramic floor tiles.

The man was sleeping there with his naked body.

Different sizes of scars were decorating his tan skin like tattoos. It seemed that his body had experienced hundreds of battles.

He moved his right hand first like he was trying to reach something that is usually close to him. But, he found nothing.

"Arghhh…that was close. I thought that I'm dead."

Finally, he opened his eyes and found something was different from his sight.

One of his eyes, the left side, was a bit blurry when he tried to focus on one object closest to him. He blinked several times but the result was the same. His left eye has been damaged and could not properly be working.

"What's going on?" He tried to touch his eyes one by one to make sure that it was still there.

At that time, his eyes suddenly saw a half-body mirror placed at 1-meter in front of him before he noticed that his reflection had changed.

"Holy shit."

He touched his face using his bare hands while staring at the figure who has wrecked half-face inside the mirror, doing the exact same thing with him.

"No way…what? What the hell is going on here?"

His heart suddenly pounded hard when he realized that it was his own reflection.

"No…it couldn't be!"

"No! Wait… No!"

He stood on his feet, and almost slipped because he stepped on a cylindrical object on the floor. And when he checked it, it was a baby feeding bottle about 100 mL in size and it still had remaining drops of milk inside.

"What? Who's left this bottle in the bathroom?"

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

"No no no! I shouldn't be worried about this thing right now." He was so easily distracted.

He walked towards the mirror that wasn't belonged to him to double check his physical appearance had changed.

His pale skin has been replaced by a tan one. His hair was now black, and his left eye was red while the other was hazel. The thing that really made him shiver was his left face. It couldn't be recognized as a human face at all.

"Am I really becoming him? The Villain? Rex Westhell?"

"Impossible! How could that be? Am I dead and got reincarnated back? Or am I just randomly transmigrated to another body?"

"But why does it have to be the fictional one?"

When he was still confused about what is going on, suddenly the door of that bathroom opened and a tiny-skinny figure with silver long-wavy hair entered the room and jumped to hug his new long leg tight like it has a magnetic force.

"Daddy!"

"I'm hungry!"

'Did she just call me 'daddy'?'

"Daddy! Let's go! I am hungry!"

"…"

Damon was trying to pull the girl out of his 'new' leg but she was attached there strong like a powerful glue.

The girl looked at him with her teary golden-shiny eyes.

For a second, Damon got stunned by her cute little face. She was indeed the most adorable creature he ever saw.

Her skin was beautifully white, her tiny lips were as pinkish as her chubby cheeks.

But wait, why did she call me Daddy?
