Melissa McCarthy woke up feeling tired. She felt really heavy as if her pets were sleeping on her but when she woke up her cheap run-down apartment seems suddenly turned into a luxurious room. Brown warm colours, wooden textured wall. This luxurious room with King size bed and a lot of old vintage expensive furniture seem to belong to a very wealthy family.
The entire room worth more than her tiny life, from the expensive-looking grandfather clock to the finniest satin curtains hung over the huge French windows.
‘Where am I?’ Blankly, Melissa looked around this fancy looking place. In a daze, Melissa pinched her cheeks to see whether she was dreaming or not, suddenly she was jolted by a scream.
Behind her was a maid with a pale face screamed as if she saw a ghost and ran away.
'Hey, even if I am not pretty but I am sure I don’t look that scary either' thought Melissa.
Feeling a little out of place, Melissa slowly tried to get up from her king sized bed only to fall on the ground. Stumbling with her weak legs, she took a shaky breath and got up. She slowly walked around this unknown room in search of any clues why she was brought to this place. As she explored this fancy looking room, she suddenly saw something that it is really weird and freaky in the mirror.
As she went forward to the mirror, she touched the mirror surface and the person also followed her movement. When she waved her hand, the person also waved back to her as if it's her reflection...Wait! The girl in the mirror seems to be her...
Fuck…Fuck…NoNoNoNo…Nop…No way… this is definitely not happening to me…Damn it! Who is she?
Who the heck is the girl in the mirror? She does not even look like her. Melissa is sure she is an adult, not a child! She has curly brown hair and blue eyes with an average face. She looks normal but who is the girl in the mirror?
This girl with long black hair, which seems it has not been cut for a long time with pale skin and a very sickly thin body. This girl looks between 9 or 13 years old, she might be even older than she looks. Her bones are even showing and she looks very tiny compared to the large mirror. Melissa knows she is a grown-up adult but why can't she see herself in the mirror.
God, What’s really happening?!
This girl who looks really sick and fragile as if she will break into a mome-
“Ahhhhh!!!!!!!”
The pain shot up in her head like needles, ripping her from within. She screamed.
Damn…It hurts so much. Pain...so much pain. Why is her head hurting? Where are her lovely pets? Where is her family? Her Maa, Paa, old sis, her brothers? Where is everyone? Why am even I here?
For the first time, Melissa felt fear for being in this strange situation. She tried to stay awake but couldn't.
And then she watched a movie. A short movie about a girl called Quinlyn Irsiavel De'Rosa.
‘I see… it's her memory.’ Melissa realized.
Quinlynn Irsiavel De'Rosa, named after the first ancestor of the De'Rosa family, Quentylnn Autumus De’Rosa. They say, she looks just like her ancestor with dark black hair, porcelain skin, and crimson red eyes...those crimson red eyes that can see through your soul.
“My Little ancestor.” Her mother would call her affectionately as she would kiss on her forehead. And Quinlynn, cheeks dusted she would protest that she is not little anymore.
“Mama, I am a big girl now.” Pouting she then would run off towards her father while her mother is left chuckling at her antics.
Both her parents Duke Autumus De'Rosa and Lilith White married for love. Both of them loved their only child unconditionally. Quinlynn lived a very happy 'childhood'.
Yes, a childhood. The movie was so short because Melissa saw Quinlynn only live up to five years.
A child who deserves to witness the beauty of this world died. A young soul who died too early and lived too short.
And Melissa, watching this beautiful family, dearly misses her family. The laughter of her three younger brothers causing mischiefs, nagging voice of her Maa behind the kitchen counter, complaints from her Paa about his work and dark luring shadow of her sister who always pop up when there is the only food on the table. Her two cats Bread and Jam who likes to curl on her stomach. God, she misses them too much that it hurts.
She feels is grief for both herself and this young beautiful soul who died too early.
On her fifth birthday, Quinlynn and her mother went to visit her grandparents. It was planned that Lilith has to be the one who needs to distract Quinlynn and take her away from home. During that moment, the other family members prepare a surprise birthday party for her. Happily, both mother and daughter pair went to visit their grandparents. It seems that fate will always meddle between those who live a happy life. Both the mother and daughter pair got into a car accident. Lilith died protecting her daughter while Quinlynn went into a coma. A coma where her family never gave up hope and waited for her instead they got Melissa McCarthy, not Quinlynn Irsiavel De'Rosa.
Melissa felt that the memories were not complete. Her intuition told her something seems to be off about the sudden car accident. She believes in her intuition.
Suddenly Melissa felt the last wisp of the child’s soul finally leaving the body. Lamenting the death of this young beautiful soul
She felt tears flowing down from her eyes. Tears that certainly did not belong to Melissa herself but belonged to a small child called Quinlynn.
Melissa saw Quinlyn walk along with hand in hand with her mother Lilith. Maybe it was just a dream that Melissa created herself, a happy ending for a young soul who will never get to live in the novel. Yeah, in novel…wait a minute…novel...De’Rosa family…Lilith White…Cannon Fodder Quinlynn…
Damn! Aren’t I in a cannon fodder’s body in fricking Otome novel?!

“…Da-dad…” her voice was hoarse and dry, which makes others a little uncomfortable.Melissa was surprised. She wanted to ask the identity of these strangers but when she suddenly laid her eyes on the mature handsome man, she knew he was her father more specifically the father of the body she woke up in.

“Huh?” Quinlynn looked towards the boy with pity in her eyes.‘Father, where did you kidnapped this poor kid from?’ Casting her eyes towards her father and towards the poor kid again, Quinlynn suddenly looked at her father with realization and disdain in her eyes. ‘Don’t tell me this is your illegitimate child born out of wedlock while your daughter was in a coma.’ As if reading her thoughts, Duke Autumus coughed and explained hurriedly, “Quinlynn, Dr Josh told me that you need to be around kids your age. Don’t worry he is not your little brother. I brought him as your playmate.” ‘Dad is loyal husband to you mother’. Looking at him warily, Quinlynn asked, “Father, whose child is he?” ‘Where did you kidnap him from?’was left unsaid. “Vincent is my old friend’s, Marquise Blaze’s son.” Duke Autumus said as he softly ruffled the boy’s
It was midnight, unlike the usual busyness in the afternoon the hallway was filled with silence. Moonlight spilled through the huge window softly creating a hazy glow on the figure walking silently up the stairs. Mary Lin softly knocked on the door, hearing a soft ‘come in’ she entered the room. Mary saw Duke Autumus signing some documents seriously gesturing her to talk with his left hand. “Master, these are the reports from the people we have sent to investigate Marquise Blaze household.” Mary respectfully handed the documents. “Hmm…you can leave now.” Duke Autumus continued to do his work not bothering to look at her. A few moments later, Duke Autumus sighed and looked towards Mary. “What is it?” “Master, May I ask why you want young miss to befriend young master Vincent?” ‘After all, Young miss was trying hard despite young master Blaze avoiding her like
“Young Lady…Young lady!” “Huh?... Where?” Quinlynn jolted up realizing that she almost hit her face into her cream soup. “Young lady, you almost downed your face into the soup,” Mary said with concern while taking away the soup from the table. Quinlynn yawned, “Mary, don’t worry. I just didn’t sleep well yesterday.” The truth is that she was readi
“It is said that long before the world was created. The creation goddess Amity was born from the chaos and order of the universe. As an only living being, she continued to live surrounded by darkness for aeons. Lonely and sad, she finally died due to loneliness. Her hair transformed into stars, her eyes into the sun and the moon, her tears turned into ocean and rivers, her flesh formed into mountains and land, her blood formed other living beings and from her heart, we humans came into this world…”“Well, that’s just bullshit- ahem… I mean a famous myth. I recommend you to read the book ‘How was the world formed? Science Not Myth by Dr Josh Miller’ for in-depth knowledge.”Currently, two small heads were watching the lecture given by a big person before them. Quinlynn, who finally is friends with Vincent thought she could hang out with him but she was forced by her maid to study. Apparently, she is healthy and soo
A city as prosperous as Aldrich city looks very dazzling towards one's eyes. People would laugh, enjoy their daily life full of luxuries within the city after all Aldrich city is known as ‘The City of Luxuries’ where all people with wealth, power are gathered. Hack, even the commoners have the better living condition than most people from various districts inside the Kingdom. But they would never know that far west from the city, there is a place called Territory 26 is located. Territory 26, a place filled with filth, treachery, poverty and a dumping place for trashes. It is a place where committing crimes are normal. Here, the strong prey on weak and weak…if they don’t get strong, they will die in a ditch somewhere. Mary Lin hates this place, this is the place where she grew up and almost died. If not for Miss Lilian, she would not have survived. The only good thing she learnt from this place is to be strong…stronger than anyone that no one can touch her after all strong su
