Chapter 3: Reincarnated in my Novel.

Lucas, who the hell is that? Wait, that's not important right now. Looking at the room, it is not a hospital, that's for sure. So, where am I? I don't know. Did someone kidnap me? And they are asking for money from my parent, which is terrible. "Luc, as hey, you kid, open the doo.r" Who am I, kiddi? Kidnappers had already broken the door long ago, had I not answered it. And who is this Lucas? Looks like I have to ask whoever the other side is. I opened my mouth to answer, but— "Guh… ah, a!" A scream echoed through the air, slicing through my thoughts. The sound was sharp and filled with panic, drawing my attention away from the mystery of Lucas. I turned, heart racing, searching for the source of the cry. Shadows danced in the dim light, and a chill ran down my spine. Something was wrong, and I couldn't ignore it. Whatever was happening, I knew I had to act quickly. Pain washed over my head as I started experiencing a massive migraine, followed by a severe case of vertigo. Pain…pain…excruciating pain that I had never felt before engulfed my entire being; it felt like I was going to lose consciousness. "Help" I finally managed to say. "What's Happening, Lucas opens the door. Why are you screaming? Wait a minute, I'm opening the door with a master key." Before I lost consciousness door burst open and women ran toward me. I stumbled as I raised one hand on my head and another toward the woman. She has long blond hair like gold, reaching her waist, and she has green amber eyes with a beautiful face. But right now on the only thing you see is worry. Worry for whom? I don't know. She reached me and touched my head upside down. She still had a worried look as she asked me a question. "Luca is my son. What happened? Why are you screaming like that?" 'What??? Me??? Her son???' When the hell did that happen? At this whole 'son' thing, I lost consciousness.s "Hey, Luc, are you listening to me?" I could not answer it because I had already lost consciousness. As I slowly regained consciousness, my surroundings started to come into focus. The blinding pain in my head had subsided to a dull ache, and my vision cleared enough to reveal a room that was unfamiliar yet oddly comforting. It felt like I was in a cosy bedroom, adorned with soft colours and familiar trinkets. But how did I get here? More importantly, why did that woman refer to me as her son, Lucas? Confusion and disbelief swirled in my mind as I attempted to make sense of the situation. I blinked a few times, trying to shake off the remnants of my previous migraine. My gaze shifted towards the woman who was now sitting on the edge of the bed, concern etched across her features. "Lucas, are you feeling better now?" she asked gently, her voice a soothing balm to my disoriented senses. I swallowed hard, my voice hoarse as I responded, "I... I think so. What... What happened?" She smiled, her green amber eyes reflecting a mixture of relief and tenderness. "You had us quite worried, my dear. You were screaming and clutching your head in pain. I thought your headache might have come back." I struggled to recall the sequence of events that led to this moment. It was all so jumbled as if my memories were playing tricks on me. I reached up to touch my head, my fingers brushing against the spot where the pain had radiated from. It felt real, too real to be a mere figment of my imagination. "Mom," I began hesitantly, the word unfamiliar on my lips, "I don't... I don't understand. Why did you call me Lucas? And why did you say you're my mother?" Her expression shifted, a mixture of surprise and concern crossing her face. She reached out and placed a gentle hand on my arm, her touch warm and reassuring. "Lucas, honey, are you feeling alright? You've been acting a bit strange lately. Is something bothering you?" I opened my mouth to respond, to ask more questions, but the flood of memories that surged through me was overwhelming. Scenes, emotions, and thoughts that weren't mine... memories of a life that seemed foreign yet strangely familiar. Images of a keyboard, a computer screen, and the joy of creating worlds with words played in my mind. I was an author, I realized, someone who had poured their heart and soul into a story. But the boundaries between fiction and reality were blurring, and I was left grappling with an unsettling truth. I'm my novel, I don't know that I created this Lucas, this character doesn't even exist. So that means I'm extra. The realization came like a bomb, it was like my whole world was lying. 'If this is novel, then what about my old world and my parents?t' And this person who claims to be my mother, how should I call her? My mind wants to deny it, but my heart wants to call her 'mom'.Looks like aside from the memo,ry I also inherit 'Lucas' emotions. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I held in as I looked at the woman who claimed to be my mother. "I... I'm sorry, I don't know what's happening to me. I... I think I had nightmares or something. It was a very strange dream, but it was also very real. But... that can't be real, can it?" She held my gaze with a mixture of compassion and understanding. "Lucas, sometimes the mind can play tricks on us. Dreams and memories can feel so vivid, even when they're not real. You're safe here, and I'll take care of you. We'll figure this out together." Her words were a lifeline, grounding me in a world that felt both foreign and familiar. As I struggled to come to terms with the merging of two lives, the weight of uncertainty began to lift just a little. With her by my side, maybe I could unravel the mystery of this surreal existence and find my place in this new narrative. "Now rest for a bit, I'll be going to the Guild now. I came here to check on you, oh, a,h before I, g,o your sister is sleeping, so don't be loud." 'Guild? Sister? Now I have a sister too.' Great. "Mom, I know that it'sweirdwd but what is the name of this planet?" "Lu, what are you talking about? I t's theria." Ah Etheria "I see, well,l good luck with the guild." Then she leaves me alone to think about lots of things. One is that I reincarnated in my novel. Second, what am I going to do now? Third, I need to know about myself and this family ( my family ). Memories are still coming, but it's slowing down the process. Inin maybe ten minutes, I'll know about myself. I know what novel I have reincarnated. It's "Blades of Destiny. It's your typical novel I was writing about before my death. Like how all races come to live here. It's a type of novel that you would find anywhere. I stood up, but suddenly I stumbled, looking like I still needed to get used to this change.

Oh, I know I'm going to sleep, butt my body still feels heavy. "Let's think about this after I wake up, if it's not a dream, that is." With that done, I slept.
