Trolling around
A model student. A gifted athlete. A kind-hearted soul. I could've been called any of that. But ever since I was roughed up by some local bullies and had embarrassing pictures of mine forwarded to all my contacts, I became a laughing stock to my peers. My classmates would make snide remarks at me. My relatives would have fun at my expense during family gatherings. Sometimes, even my parents and teachers would shoot pitiful glances towards me.
I wanted to fight back, argue with them and prove them wrong. But fighting a crowd wasn't easy. I couldn't take punches from all sides so I shut myself in my room, isolated from the world. But in this world of information and technology, how isolated could one be? I could find jokes about me still floating around in social media groups and friends' circles. I snapped back at them online but the punches this time didn't feel as painful. Instead of being overwhelmed by the crowd, I could become the crowd. I created multiple accounts and wrote multiple comments on their posts. I felt very happy when they backed down or deleted their posts.
I eventually got back my revenge on those bullies online. I would make jokes about them or comment that they were looked like idiots on all their posts. I would create fake accounts in their name and cause trouble for them online. I would posts their mail ids on vulgar chat boards to outsource the harassment. I could've stopped when they deleted their accounts online but I didn't. I went after bullies from all around the town. Once I couldn't find more bullies, I went after their friends. And then I moved on to strangers. I went after anyone and everyone.

It didn't matter what the topic was. It didn't matter whether I was right or wrong. I was living for the controversy, picking fights wherever and whenever. I didn't know it back then but now I it know. I had evolved into a troll. GG had become a name hated by many and I lived for that. From politics to pancakes, from histories to mysteries, from telescopes to horoscopes, from old books to modern crooks I had to create a controversy in everything. That was how I stumbled upon a small message board for Reverend Insanity. I couldn't understand half of what was going on there but their meme game was lit. From what little I could understand the protagonist of RI, Fang Yuan, was a cold and calculative character who would stop at nothing to obtain the benefits he desires. He would routinely scheme against major players in RI world and gain what he wanted displaying determination and ruthlessness. He had no moral obligations and is in no way a traditional hero. Seeing people cheer so enthusiastically for such a character amused me. I decided that I would pick on them for today.
GG698372: I don't get why people go ape shit over a character like Fang Yuan. He is literally the worst written character in history of Chinese Novels.
AS098907: Have you read Reverend Insanity? The world is beautifully constructed and Fang Yuan's nature is clearly explained.
GG698372: Have you been dropped on your head when you were a kid? Fang Yuan is just a murder crazy bastard with a god complex. No amount of back story can justify that.
JU838215: Fang Yuan had 500 years of life experience before he was reincarnated. You are just another arrogant Young master who can't see Mt. Tai.
UK827638: RI was written too well for you to even comment on it.
GG698372: Haha! Looks like the loonies came out. Reverend insanity is apt for cult worshippers like you. Seems like the government did a good job in banning the book.
HG294890: You have no idea how great Fang Yuan is. In a world full of hypocrites and self serving justice warriors, Fang Yuan shines like a diamond.
AS098907: Seriously, read the book before spouting nonsense. Why did you even join this message board?
JU838215: I think he is a troll. The moderator should just kick him out.
GG698372: Haha! Lol. As if I needed to be a troll to insult Reverend Insanity. Even I could do a better job than Fang Yuan.
UK827638: You can't even compare yourself to Fang Yuan's pinky finger. You dare mock him?
HG294890: Too many back seat drivers in this world. You don't know RI world. I bet you can't even stand up to Fang Yuan in RI world!
FG996609: Can you grant freedom from suffering in RI world?
JU838215: Hey! Who's this new user FG996609?
GG698372: Of course, I can even beat Fang Yuan's ass while doing it.
FG996609: Close enough. Let's see what happens. I'll send truck-kun on your way.
JU838215: Haha! This new user seems to be a man of culture.
GG698372: Weirdos just keep popping up in this message board.

Somewhere in China
Gu Zhen Ren woke up from his sleep in the middle of the night. He was the author of RI and he was struck with an idea to retcon something. He opened his laptop and started re-reading the initial chapters of Reverend Insanity. He added a few sentences introducing a new character while thinking. He then closed his laptop and went back to sleep.
…
What is this sudden feeling of discomfort? Did that simple message about truck-kun shake me up. It makes no sense but then why do I feel like this? Anyway, it's not like a truck will hit me and I will end up being transmigrated to the RI world. I am in the confines of my room and not in the middle of the road trying to save a child.
Wait a second… Why is the room getting brighter? The lights from the window? Who is shining lights into my room now? Holy shit! WTF is happening? Is that truck-kun. It looks like it's going to collide with my house? Did I just jinx myself?
**** CRAASHHHHH ***
