...'A commoner- no. An author who travels from place to place met a lady, as cold as ice. Her gaze made every people around her shiver from cold....

... But deep inside, her eyes were filled with loneliness, almost drowning her.  She searched and searched frantically. ...

..."Will a pet make me happy? just like in those novels?" Stumbled upon a wolf in the black market with the same cruel gaze as her. It was beaten almost to death, and shackles in its legs....

... "Am I this pathetic? thinking it would turn into a human just like in the novels?" Considering the author is not from this world, he took a liking to the lady drowning in loneliness and despair. ...

...An illusion. He made his way inside the imperial family with an illusion. Just for the lady. A wallflower, a cruel lady, lonely, and most of all, delusional. ...

...Every novel she read made her envious. "Can I live in a different world just like them?" "If I die, will I also get reincarnated?" ...

...An inspiration for my book. I owe you one ugly. In exchange, I will make your wish come true. Yearning love from her family, getting trashed and left....

... But still, she still loved them. Even herself was confused as to why. "Why...isn't she giving up? Why isn't she falling into despair? Aren't humans fragile? so...why...?" ...

...She's willing to leave everything behind for something new. But regrets will taunt her every single night. Her delusion made her believe it might happen. Even just a pity from the god.'...

... "After 200 years...I read this again. I won't forget what happened. Rest in peace" He whispered as he gently placed a flower above the grave. ...

..."Eri..." ...

...A wind spirit. I was once just a wind spirit roaming around everywhere, searching for freedom. After years and years of roaming, there's something I realized. 'Humans are fragile. A single pain and it would lead them to despair.'...

...A goddess looked down upon me. "A wind spirit...Do you wish to live?" She asked gently and kindly as she held her hand out. ...

...A single nod and the goddess fulfilled his wish. "Even if decades or even centuries passed, you will never fade. But if you tainted this world, I will not spare you." She said as she fade away into glowing azure maple leaves....

...As she said, many decades and centuries passed and humans had developed. But his image never seemed to age. Those who lived and died seeing him wondered. 'Why is he still so young?' ...

...Jealousy rose upon their souls. They wish for him to look old too. They wish for him to be tainted. 'What did he do to gain immortality' Their greediness soon disappeared alongside them....

...In this generation, medieval era, he was known as the wandering author. Traveling to every country to write a book. But none has ever read his books before. ...

...None has ever dared to. His books are filled with curses. All about how tainted this world is. But there is only one book that isn't. ...

..."Huh? did someone leave this book here...?" A girl mumbled as she held the book above the gravestone....

...Taking her interest, she opened the book. "Eri...?" She questioned herself....
