What is perspective?
Is it the art of drawing solid objects on a two-dimensional surface to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position with each other when viewed from a particular point?
Or a particular way of considering something…
To me, perspective is more than just an object drawn on paper or an attitude towards something.
It is an individual's feelings, thoughts, and actions in their own life. To keep something in perspective and compare it to other things just so we can make it accurate and fairly judged.
However, this isn't presumably special in the first place.
In literature, it's considered as important as the content of the story itself. Through the character's perspective, we'll get to see different opinions and the way they deal with certain situations. Through the author's perspective, we will see how the story was driven from the start to the end.
In video games, we often see how the developers choose which kind of point of view would be for their games and what we are about to play. For first-person shooters, survival, horror, etc, the first point of view is a way to go. For adventure, racing, RPG, horror ( again ), and soul games, however, the third point of view is a good way to demonstrate the lore and what character they are in.
That's why the idea of getting to experience different characters' points of view in separate times and spaces would rather be interesting, exciting, or even thrilling!—Just from a web novel that we come across on the internet.
With the omniscience of the third point of view, they usually use two viewpoints from the story at most; yet it's already sufficient in their opinion. But what if... there are more than two points of view in the same scenario?
That question has inspired me to create this very series that bears the same name as it.
By combining many perspectives from different characters like a piece of puzzle, we'd get the complete full story surrounding these individuals who were coincidentally involved in a single matter.
They could be somewhat related or not at all. Just thinking about how everything falls into their place perfectly makes my heart racing.
However, these concepts, these ideas have come far too late for what is done...
This series is made of stories and scenes from many characters in this series—or so I said...
Yes... There are also backstories and interactions between them, but that is all to it.
To be honest, there's not much of a depth in this series. Considering the amount of short story has been combined, a rough surface idea that is as blank as a white sheet of paper makes the storyline incoherent. To put it simply, it's a piece of shit of a story; an undeniable mess of junk foods.
However, right when I was deciding to take over it, I somehow fell into this creation's world…
To you, this is the greatest chance you ever had. You can do anything with your knowledge and freedom( maybe ) from the storyline. You can date your favourite heroine or even the MC of the story( if you succeed ), you can steal all the important items and level up yourself or you can even destroy the world to your liking!
So normally, in these kinds of genres, the "author" will try their best not to interfere with the plot line of the story and survive because the most and only option that they chose in these kinds of situations is desperately leaning on the original one, or... I should have said it was the story they've known.
With that confidence in mind, later on, the "author" will meet several problems on their journey while heading towards the end of the story that they had written before. Some may be brave enough to overcome such events, but some are too scared to even get going quickly. Although they will somehow survive through these scenarios in the end, don't you agree?
However, the core of those problems came later on from none other than... themselves.
It's not like I'm neglecting their reasons for living or something. The story is fine on its own, and they're just... not supposed to be here. They knew full well the consequences by choosing not to interfere with the plot and working their way alongside the story.
But it's futile.
No matter how hard you try, the story will always catch up with you, and your efforts will break down into a speck of dust compared to the storyline. So, instead of struggling like a fish out of water, the best option I can think of is to end it right away.
Since there's no one would come and find me after all...
That is why I'm here, on the top of a random building. There's nothing in the distance nor the sky, other than white clouds and lonesome sun. The wind breeze through me is strangely warm today as if the world has become a dream…
Yes, it has to be.
There's no way for a being like me here in the first place.
Let's wake up and continue what I have left…
I walked toward the edge of the building, one more step, and I would be back to the familiar desk... or if that wasn't interfered with.
Great.
"Huff... huff..."
Of course, it just has to be this way. A familiar individual can be seen right before me, gasping for air; his clothes are a mess, and a pair of glasses nearly falls off his nose. As if he has just made a run to get here as fast as possible.
Not that it matters, I needed to go anyway.
I continued heading towards the sky, but not to my wish; he grabbed my hand more tightly, preventing me from walking even a step outside the railing's edge to my end.
Although I don't understand how he got here and I can't tell what is going on, there's one thing I could tell from his puckered face.
"Oh my God! It only started for a few seconds, so calm down!" ( what's with you doing these monologues in the middle of this... )
[ The man appeared out of nowhere just a second ago, completely shattered ■'s plan of leaving this place. He gripped ■'s hand tightly as if trying to prevent the story from ending.
This scene could be described as unbelievable to themselves when one is from reality, and the other is not, in the non-existent world, a novel, if you'd like to call that.
But whatever the case is, it happened. From the tone to the expression, ■ easily knew what this man desired. ]
My character doesn't want me to die.
