Chapter 45 - Discovering His Origin (2/2)

“It’s a story about Lenia, who became the heroine, and after some time, you became involved.”

“Me?”

“Yes. Well, you are the male lead in the book. Oh, don’t make that face. I already sound like a madman, but if you react like that, I will seem like a real psychopath!”

Kyle Leonard grimaced at every word that came out from Park Noah’s mouth. Attempting to digest the absurd truth, he joked, “I’ve heard all sorts of wonderful stories in my life. Anyway, what happened then?”

“Until the end, it’s a classic story of moral decency. Just and honorable main characters defeat the villains who enable evil. They even succeeded in defeating Eleonora Asil, who tormented them the most. After their triumph, the protagonists ask for each other’s hearts….yeah, well, that’s it.”

“Until the end? What’s the ending, then?”

“Uh… Mu, no, the dragon kidnapped Lenia and left without a trace. That’s the ending.”

“What kind of novel is that?”

“Right? But don’t ask me, I’m not a writer.”

It was no wonder that Kyle Leonard was caught in bewilderment upon discovering that his life sprung from the ink of a pen; even more so when their destinies were twisted. He gazed into space for a brief moment, collecting his thoughts. Then, with a deep sigh, he nodded.

“I never expected that and it’s completely baffling, but I understand. The people in Miss Noah’s world are odd, writing a flimsy novel about someone else’s life.”

At the investigator’s remark, Park Noah had a strange realization. She stared at him, in deep thought. Kyle Leonard frowned at her and said, “Don’t look at me like that. I don’t know what else you’re going to say.”

“No, I just thought you are worth the title of a genius investigator.”

“Did you read it in the book, too?” His voice was sharp. It seemed the truth was unpleasant to his ears.

Park Noah pondered — what Kyle Leonard said was plausible. Maybe, the author of the novel wrote the story according to actual events. The world appeared too precise and realistic to be a person’s mere imagination that one might assume that someone had lived in this world, traveled to South Korea in the 21st century, and wrote a novel based on the world’s reality. However, it was a world not written in history.
