PROLOGUE: SCARLET'S FEAR

The smell of disinfectant mixed with soap hit her nose. Her eyelids trembled as she slowly opened her eyes, only to close them again when the sharp light of the room hit her eyes. She groaned, raised her hand, intending to rub her aching forehead, but a tingling pain at the back of her hand stopped her, and her frown deepened. "Scarlet, Scarlet, you're awake!" A troubling voice of an elder reached her ears, confusing her even more. 'What's going on?' She wondered. The voice she just heard belonged to her mother without doubt, but why did her usually nonchalant mother sound so scared? And why was she calling her name so stressfully?Scarlet tightened her eyes, ignored her aching head, and recalled what had happened. She remembered helping her mother in the kitchen as it was time for dinner, but things suddenly became chaotic in her vision, her legs felt like they weighed tons, and her head felt light. She remembered falling back even when she tried so hard to hold herself, and she

CHAPTER 1: REGRETS

Scarlet stood by the side, watching as her family cried over her corpse. She stared at her body, which was about to be cremated, and her heart clenched. She had been dead for two weeks, and in those two weeks, she had been forced to watch her family cry daily over her, her best friend breaking down every time she saw anything related to her, and even the people she rarely communicated with were all shedding tears when they heard about her death. She had been feeling conflicted ever since then. Her mind wouldn't stop imagining scenarios of change. What if she hadn't died? What if she had fought with her parents when it all happened, if she had run away from home, if she had tried to be stronger... What if, what if, countless what ifs had been running through her mind, but it only annoyed her even more. She hated to see her family cry over her. She hated the fact that she was the source of their sorrow when everything she ever wanted was to put a smile on their faces despite everythi

CHAPTER 2: FIRST WORLD

Scarlet frowned as she took in her surroundings- the void around her. She realized she couldn't see anything except a vast field of clouds. "Where is this?" Mumbling, she tried moving forward, but the fear of falling tied her to a spot. Fateball rolled around, seemingly enjoying itself. "This is my space." It twisted its fur gently. "It's formless now because I'm still an infant..." Trailing off, it rolled closer to Scarlet and poked her nose. "But we can grow together, right?" Scarlet nodded her head in a daze. "Good. Now, let's start with your mission." Immediately after Fateball mentioned "mission," a string of words appeared before Scarlet...[Conquer 100 worlds, and you will be able to save Carlos. Conquer another 100 worlds and restore Carlos' happiness. Conquer another 100 worlds and wipe his memories of you.]"Are you ready?" Fateball asked. Scarlet stared at the words, reading over and over again as she wondered what was going on. It wasn't her first time seeing somethin

CHAPTER 3: NO OOC

Scarlet's eyes dimmed, fear palpable in her black orbs. "I don't want to..." Her words trailed off. She didn't really want to be pregnant. She wasn't up to the task... especially when the father was so irresponsible. Scarlet knew she would have to surrender a lot for the mission, but she wasn't ready. She wasn't ready to waste a life... again. Fateball appeared beside Scarlet. It stared at her gloomy eyes and suddenly felt bad for her.It wasn't silly. It had gone through Scarlet's life before it attached itself to her and knew how deep Scarlet's trauma was. It also knew about that particular moment when Scarlet lost her child___"You are not pregnant." It said in a solemn voice. "This is the beginning of the timeline, and tonight is your birthday." Scarlet's eyes widened. "Really?""Yes," Fateball revealed, a slight smile forming. "You just turned 18 today." Scarlet's gloomy face finally morphed into a pleased smile, and she rubbed her stomach carefully. "Thank goodness. I hav

CHAPTER 4: MAKE-OVER

Scarlet found herself dumbfounded. She had always thought that the Cyn in this world would be a replica of her world's Carlos, but she never expected them to be so identical!She would have thought he was Carlos if not for the indifferent expression on Cyn's face even when he held her and the big 'Zero' affection on his head. The Carlos of her world wouldn't have zero affection for her..."Hello," She arranged her skirt properly and greeted him shyly. Heck, she needed to act good before a handsome guy!Especially when he looked so much like her idol... Um. Cyn, who had just gone out of his way to save a stranger, cleared his throat and stood right. Even though he was confused as to why he would spare anyone a glance at a place his mother forced him to escort her to, he still did not want to be rude. "Hi," He replied and turned around to leave. Scarlet smiled cunningly. 'After staying in such a boring world for so many hours, I finally found you, and you still want to leave like t

CHAPTER 5: BIRTHDAY PARTY

"Scarlet, you are so beautiful!""Who would have believed that Scarlet is even more beautiful than Lyn?" "Don't even compare them. Scarlet is a real beauty.""She shouldn't have hidden her beauty for so long. People wouldn't have mocked her for being ugly.""Humph! Why does a beauty like her need anyone's acknowledgment? She's beautiful already, and she doesn't care what anyone thinks of her. Who among those who mocked her is as beautiful as her?"Murmurs filled the hall. Many were no longer interested in the dance. Their gaze lingered on Scarlet's every step as if she would disappear before them. Among these crowds were Lyn, Klaus, and Ray. Ray was so stunned that he couldn't stop staring. His lips parted, and he let out a low curse. "Klaus?" He called dazedly. There was no response. Ray searched around with his hand until he got hold of Klaus' phone. He snatched the phone from Klaus and hugged it to his chest. "I will have to borrow this, Klaus." He whispered. Klaus, whose gaze

CHAPTER 6: CYN

Klaus was surprised. Scarlet had never rejected him before. Everyone in school knew how Scarlet ran after him, wagging her imaginary tail like a dog and answering to every call of his. The reason he noticed Scarlet in the first place was her obsession with him. She did it so much that she made the teacher place them together in class. In a class where males and females had to sit separately, Scarlet made her family sponsor the school so they could place her beside him. Klaus still remembered how the event shook the whole school that day. Everyone talked about it. Many congratulated him for winning Graham's heiress's heart, while some pitied him for attracting the attention of such an average-looking and dumb girl. He felt like he was indeed unlucky. He was handsome. He was one of the most handsome men in the academy, and many girls were after him, so why would he want to be with the average Scarlet? But he returned home and thought about it. Scarlet was rich and loved by her fami

CHAPTER 7: SURVIVAL

Scarlet hit the stage with Cyn and finally realized how stiff Cyn was. The guy had no dancing skills!But Scarlet held on. She had to increase Cyn's affection point after all. "Hold my waist." She mouthed. But Cyn ignored her. He stood there, following Scarlet's movement with a stoic expression on his face. Scarlet frowned slightly. She took his hand and placed it on her waist. "Hold tight." She mumbled. Cyn's eyes flickered. His cheeks slowly turned red, and he looked away. Even his ears reddened. Scarlet's eyes widened at this sudden change. So, the big guy was so shy? Even reacting so much to a mere touch?Scarlet felt the urge to laugh. Who would have thought Cyn was so pure?The urge to tease him flashed through her mind, and the corner of her lips lifted. Cyn felt the warmth against the palm of his hand, and his thoughts became muddled. This was the firs

CHAPTER 8: CONFESSION

Cyn stepped forward and stood beside Scarlet. Honestly, he had no idea why he stepped out or why he agreed to help Scarlet. But when he saw the desperate expression on Scarlet's face, he realized for the first time that Scarlet wasn't as strong as he assumed. She was fragile, too. Like everyone else, she had a side that scared even her. Cyn felt his heart flutter. This wasn't his first time helping someone in his life, but it was the second time. And that twice... was all spent on Scarlet. "I guess we were more connected than I thought." He mumbled inwardly. DINGAFFECTION +10. Scarlet raised a brow, but she was too bothered to care about that at the moment as Klaus was already approaching her. He was done with his confessions, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked toward her and stood before her. "Scarlet," He called. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked. Scarlet's heart lurched. Fateball cursed. "He asked. He asked. What do we do, Scarlet? This slag asked you out. You

CHAPTER 9: CYN'S PANIC

The elevator chimed softly, and they stepped out. Scarlet took the lead until they stood before a room, and she pressed a card on the door. Cyn was taken aback. His expression changed rapidly, and he tried to move back, but Scarlet, who seemed to have expected his movement, grabbed his hand and pulled him back. "What? Scared of me?" She asked with a small smirk on her face. Cyn's eyes widened. He was both shocked and confused. He hadn't expected such a move from Scarlet. Why would a girl bring a man to a room? Cyn couldn't understand. "What do you plan to do?" His voice grew deeper as he questioned. Filled with warning. Scarlet pushed the door open and dragged him in. "Exactly what it looks like." She smirked and closed the door behind them. "You promised to accompany me tonight, didn't you?" Cyn's brows twitched. He felt the urge to escape. "I, I didn't tell you I would enter a room with you." He was flustered. Scarlet's eyes shone slightly when he saw the f
