Reader X Cheater Novels & Stories

"It's already way past midnight! Why are you so late?" I was already exhausted from the sudden overtime work I had to put in. However, as soon as I sat down on the couch, he'd already started questioning me. Angrily, I snapped back, "You're the one who cheated, so why are you making such a huge fuss? You should be thankful that I'm even here in the first place!" As soon as he heard me call him a cheater, he froze for a split second. After recollecting his thoughts, he softened up and tried to justify himself. "I'm an award-winning A-list actor now, so you're not a good fit for me anymore."

"That doctor is fake! Dakota, you hired someone to lie to me and make me look guilty! You're the one with the STDs, not me!" I had expected Laurence to react this way. Calmly, I pulled up the hospital's official website and found the contact details for the doctor I had spoken to earlier. Seeing the identical phone number, Laurence scoffed. "You went this far to set me up, even making a fake official website." His reasoning had so many holes, but at that moment, none of the netizens were paying attention to his words. Instead, they all turned their anger on me. [This woman has a poisonous heart!]

I burst into tears and was struck with the realization that my parents were the only people I could trust in this world. I thought about all the times I had fought them for Wayne, and overwhelming guilt drowned me. Dad seemed to see straight through my thoughts. He affectionately ruffled my hair and offered me endless understanding and tolerance. … A week later, I met Mason Frost, the heir to one of Jynxwood's elites. I had heard a lot about him, but back then, I despised marriages of convenience, which were built on interests and gain. I had been determined to find true love, only to end up paying for my mistakes in blood.

Could you please tell me why I cannot read the next page or any other page? [Host has understood 1% of the content of the First Page] [The Second Page will be accessible after the Host gains 100% on the first page] You!! AGGHH! Why aren't you letting me be overpowered! [I've overpowered the host enough. Get to work!] As I thought of destroying the book, I became furious, but I calmed down immediately. Relax, it's nothing to worry about. There is no free meal available. I got a gist of how the book works, the reader moves onto the next page once they have understood 100% of that page.

The doctor told the women, Steven watched in pity as they shook their heads in agreement. Whatever has gotten into them was really bad. The good doctor wrote in the book and then passed it to Steven. What is this? Did he think I can't read? He snickered. "You did well. If you can read this, we have a letter for you. It is from David, do you want to read it?" Steven carefully read through the wordings line by line to be sure he never missed a thing, he was sure he read some words twice or more to be cleared.

My voice did not shake. The man tilted his head. He didn't have a face, just a shifting darkness where his features should be. "You can call me the Reader," he said. His voice sounded like paper rubbing together. "I am the one who pays for the ink. I am the one who decides if your story ends here or keeps going." Bryan stepped in front of me, his hand on his pistol. "He’s another code, Hazel. Don’t listen to him." The Reader laughed. It was a dry, thin sound. "A copy thinks he has a choice. How cute."

I thought as I headed over to Manor first. I found him at the very back, flipping through a book with a stack of books next to him. " Hey, V4.1. What are you up to?" " Trying to win a bet." " Wouldn't it be easier if you used your phantom powers?" " Yeah, but then it would be cheating since your teacher is a human!" " Yes, he is, but he has the skill of speed reading. Wouldn't it be better if you picked out books and Kaen narrows it down to the information that will be of help to us?"

The Reader stumbled backward. Their faceless hood twisted violently, body bending in impossible angles. “You’re not supposed to hesitate!” they gasped. Liora clutched the book to her chest. “Then maybe this isn’t the final chapter.” “You can’t stop what’s been written,” the Reader hissed. “You can’t outrun the ending!” The floor cracked beneath them, Not ground, But text, Pages of her life peeling apart like skin, And rising from between them, Was a figure made entirely of titles. No face, No features.

“You didn’t…what?” I remove my hands from my eyes while watching the clouds move above before feeling a single tray tear fall from my right eye. “I did not skip a chapter.” I sniff. “I read the entire thing from chapter 1 to 10!” “Ah shit. She read four extra chapters.” Conrad's muttering makes me want to slam my head against a tree even more. I literally wasted all that time reading chapters that would not come up in the exam when I could have used the extra time to study other subjects!

“You’re one of those annoying people who quibble over every little detail in a book, aren’t you?” He lifted his eyebrows. “I can’t believe you’re not. Did you read what he said to her when she opened her legs—” “No,” I warned him when he reached for my Kindle to find the cheesy line he wanted to quote. “Don’t you dare ruin this story for me with logical bullshit. I like the emotions it brings out. That’s why I’m reading it.” He blinked at me a moment before shaking his head and murmuring, “I find this so interesting to learn about you. I mean, really, how can you be so...you, and then read something that’s just so...not you?”
