How to Become a Person in a Novel World
Chapter 001: Original Works
“What is it?” he asked when he saw me carrying a maroon velvet-lined box. I also lifted it up and opened it. There were five precious stones in it. It is red, blue, green, and clear. The other one was a large pearl whose beautiful white radiated other colors like a rainbow.
“This is original work,” I replied briefly.
“Hah?” he frowned in astonishment, “What do you mean?”
“Touch one of these stones,” my door to him. Although still with an astonished expression, he still followed my request. The most clear precious stone.
“Hm, you choose diamond,” I said with a smile review knot, “Let's see how the original work of this gem.”
I also took out the diamond. The beautiful, clear stone reflected a unique light formation as I placed it on the shining table. The original work is ready to be displayed.
"Selena la Diamond. The eldest daughter of Diamond Works. She is a smart, cheerful, and skilled girl. Since childhood, it has been known as the best gem in all kingdoms, even continents."
A strand of description figures appeared on the glowing screen. After a while, the description disappeared, then replaced by a platinum-haired long blonde girl. The girl's skin was soft as bright as morning.her golden yellow was like sunlight. Her smile was as beautiful as a full moon rising at night.
He noticed every visual displayed by the shining table after that. His expression was fickle, especially when the main character girl began to get tragic calamities in a row. As soon as the visual was done, he looked at me with a look of disbelief.
“What happens next?” his insistence was curious, “Times he was a prisoner in the enemy kingdom forever?”
“That's a secret,” I took back the original work of diamonds from the shining table. In an instant, all of those visuals disappeared. I also returned the diamond to my beludruku box.
“Sad very finally,” protest furious, “Do not be a prisoner dong! Moreover, he had gotten a lot of abuse since the first tragedy. He became blind, estranged in his palace, must be a prisoner of the enemy anyway.”
“Just wait for the continuation,” I put index finger on the lips while grinning thinly, “You will know finally happy or sad if you can be patient and watch every plot.”
I put my velvet box on the shining table. A second later, he sank into the table as if swallowed just like that. Not long after, my five precious stones appeared on the table.
“You want to enter the world of novels, right?” ask me while looking at him, “How easy. You don't have to die to get into it. If you die, you won't even be able to go in there anymore. You don't have to be hit by a truck after work. Nor did he die of exhaustion in the endless nights of overtime. It was a cliche plot of the mainstream isekai fantasy novels.”
“So?” tanyanya brief.
“Come into the story by reading it,” my words lightly, “Thus, you will feel how wonderful the world is there.”
I pressed the button that appeared on the shining table. The inscriptions appear on every precious stone. Diamond, Mirah Pomegranate, Patchouli, Emerald, and Pearl. Those are all code names of the original work of this ‘multikarakter’ novel.
“Note the signboard in each story,” I said give directions before the novel starts, “The name board will give you instructions on the plot you read.”
“Hm,” he nodded, then said with great confidence, “Look at me later! I'll change the bad groove you wrote it.”
“Please,” I don't care about his determination. I stared visually-visual each original piece at the shining table. Before he dissolved in that imaginative tale, I reminded, “As I said in advance. You can be anyone. Whether it is Mirah, Nilam, Emerald, Pearl, even Diamond that you have seen the outline earlier. You can even be everything if you want.”
“Not sure I am everything?” guess with a frown.
“As for you,” I shrugged both shoulders, letting his guess go, “Well, every groove is connected to each other anyway. Oiya, you must remember!”
“This is all made just for entertainment. This is what we call the fantasy world in novels. Every detail is just a delusion,” I said reminded, “You can not go too deep into there. You have the real world. Ah, even where we are is only the mortal world. Later, this life feels as if everything is just a dream. However ...”
He looked at me curiously as it stopped for a moment.
“This world is a place to plant. Use your time wisely. Really you will be resurrected and held accountable.”
He touched my shining table slowly, stroking it slowly. A moment later, he disappeared from before ku–certain for ‘injuk’ to the novel. I smiled with satisfaction to see it too.
“Thanks?” muttered as he stared at the flickering diamond visual, “It seems, he sympathizes deeply with the princess. Well, not bad anyway. It's even good that she's Selena la Diamond, but ..”
I pressed a button on the shining table, typing something into the plot she chose. With a thin grin on the lips, I muttered again, “Let's make him remember the scenario after the first tragedy that made him blind happened.”
...***...
He's Diamond. The girl was named Selena la Diamond, the first princess of the Diamond Kingdom. She grew up in a good neighborhood, became a cheerful princess, and loved her parents who were the supreme rulers of the kingdom.
“What's up, Honey?” ask Queen Clara la Diamond, Selena's mother. Three-year-old little Selena shook her head. He just felt like he had forgotten something important. However, it seems that it is not an urgent matter.
Season by season. Year after year passed. Selena enjoyed her wonderful childhood with joy. Because of his high curiosity, the king and queen also woke up a special palace for him. The palace will be filled with books from all over the world.
“Mother, let's invite the princesses from every country,” exclaimed Selena as she co-designed the event to be held in every country. At that time, he was seven years old. “ Let them play with me White Melati Palace later. I want to have a lot of friends from everywhere.”
“Sure, let's do it,” welcome Queen Clara excitedly, “It will definitely be a great event for you guys. My daughter is the best.”
The big event was also held. The princesses from every country came. They gathered at the palace of the invited. Selena herself prepared a special event for the princesses in her palace, especially on the choice of a variety of banquets, decorations, and a series of events.

Even so, the event continued to run smoothly so that it naturally increased the influence of Selena la Diamond in the hands of the other princesses.
"Hanna, greet Princess Selena" said a graceful young lady who was one of the palace's important guests. There was an aura of wisdom emanating from him. Behind him, hid a reddish-black-haired little girl in the sun. The girl looked scared and alert. She was five years old at the time, two years younger than Selena.
"Your name is Hanna, right?" selena said as she approached Hanna and smiled sweetly at her. Her platinum blonde hair was straight down to earth, beautiful and dazzling. His golden eyes stared friendshipily at the shy little girl peeking at him. "Meet me, I'm Selena la Diamond."
"Sa–salam," replied Hanna who was still hiding behind her mother's dress, "I ... Hanna Muthia's."
"Geez .. Cute," exclaimed an exasperated Selena wanting to pinch Hanna's reddish chubby cheeks, "You're like a flower fairy in spring."
Such was the meeting of Selena la Diamond with her sidekick, Hanna Muthia. Hanna was not familiar with him. The daughter of the Earl Muthia couple was even impressed scared when he saw Princess la Diamond I. He just wanted to open his heart after many times Selena invited him to play together.
