Petals Lost To a Fated Fall

Summary:

[Channel #N-1411 has been opened.]

[A constellation is entering.]

[Greetings, dear constellation!]

[The story I am about to tell is a common one in this era. The story of a reader who seeks to change the fate of their dearest protagonist.]

[However, this one is a bit different. You see, this time, there are two readers, with pasts as tragic as the other. You could say the genre of their lives is tragedy. They have not only the protagonist to protect, but each other as well.]
.・。.・°-ˋˏ ༻❀༺ ˎˊ-・゜・。.

"You—why would you—?"

[It was the only way, you know that already.]

"That fate was meant for me!"

[Perhaps, but there's more than one 'Dokja' in this world.]

I smiled at him despite the gaping wound in my abdomen.

[It was a really great story, wasn't it?]
.・。.・°-ˋˏ ༻❀࿐؛༊༺ ˎˊ-°・. 。• .

[Now then, shall we begin the tale marred by loss, regret, and tragedy? To see if our dear protagonists can make it to their happy ending or if it is tragedy that will meet them once more at the end?]

Chapter 1: Welcome

[Channel #N-1411 has been opened.]

[A constellation is entering.]

These messages were my cue to begin.

[Greetings, dear constellation! And if you are someone who has been here before, welcome back!]

[Ah, you must be confused since you're not really a constellation. However, is there truly much of a difference between a constellation and a reader? You thrive on stories, after all.]

[The story I am about to tell is a common one in this era. The story of a reader who seeks to change the fate of their dearest protagonist.]

These lines, I had them memorized by now.

[However, this one is a bit different. You see, this time, there are two readers, with pasts as tragic as the other. You could say the genre of their lives is tragedy. They have not only the protagonist to protect, but each other as well.]

[Ah, but fair warning before we begin; you may question the point of this story as you read on. Not much will change...]

Not this time, at least.

[However, I ask for your patience. The field must be prepared and tended to before it bears yield. Think of this part of the story as the former1 and expect some turbulence2.]

[Now then, shall we begin the tale marred by loss, regret, and tragedy? To see if our dear protagonists can make it to their happy ending or if it is tragedy that will meet them once more at the end?]

Fair tidings, ■■■■■3.

Notes:

1. Author means that the story is mostly canon compliant in the first book. Plot line will not deviate. Back

 

2. Author means that schedules are difficult to follow due to the nuisance that is exams and inconsiderate educational system. Also, expect edits. Back

 

3. Ah, my old enemy; Censor box! Back

 

On a more serious note, I barely got a chance to breathe since the announcement so even though I had the prologue written out, it was difficult to polish and publish. Can't promise it'll get better, I'm swamped all October and through November. So I will have to ask you to bear with me (^ᴗ^);
