ch-1 What are you reading now?

In a high school classroom, two friends, Mansh and Ankhush, were engaged in their usual chatter. They were students of Class 3-2, known for talking too much in school.

One day, during a break, Ankhush excitedly shared something with Mansh

Ankhush: "What web novel are you reading now? I'm reading Solo Leveling. I like its writing style, story, and also its characters."

Mansh paused, trying to recall.

Mansh: "Oh, mine. Let me think about it, ummmm. A Novel I'm reading. I can't remember its name for some reason. I'll tell you tomorrow."

Ankhush: "Alright, make sure to check the name and tell me tomorrow

After classes they both goes to their homes

The next day, Ankhush was eagerly waiting for Mansh to remember the name of the novel he is reading.

Mansh cames to attend classes and sits on his seat and after some time Ankhush arrived at school, eagerly waiting to hear the name of the novel Mansh had mentioned. As soon as he spotted Mansh sitting at his seat, he approached him without hesitation.

Ankhush: "Hey, did you figure out the name of that novel?"(Ankhush sits on The bench while asking this question)

Mansh: "Oh yeah!! It's called Novel of Reality. You know, in the last chapter, there were two friends talking about a novel—just like us! One of them couldn't remember its name—just like me! What a coincidence!"

Ankhush felt a shiver run down his spine.

(How is this possible? It's exactly the same as what happened to us. This can't be a coincidence.) he thought.

Trying to shake off his unease, he asked Mansh

Ankhush: "Which app does it upload on and when?"

Before Mansh could answer, the teacher entered the classroom.

Mansh (whispering): "It uploads daily on the WBNovel app at 7:30 AM. What's wrong? You look tense. Are you okay? By the way, a new chapter is about to release in three minutes! I can't wait. I'm going to read it in class, don't tell the teacher though, please."

The lecture started, but Ankhush couldn't focus. His curiosity got the better of him. He pulled out his phone and opened the novel Novel of Reality.

Ankhush (shouting in the middle of class): "How is this even possible?!"

The entire class turned to look at him.

The teacher stormed toward him and snatched his phone.

Ankhush was terrified. His saliva dried.(Because of Novel)

Teacher: "If you want your phone back, tell your parents to talk to me after class."

Ankhush sat there, speechless. His heart pounded. It wasn't just a novel—it was his life written down.

(The teacher left the class after the lecture. )

As soon as the teacher left, two boys walked up to Ankhush with smirks on their faces.

Two boys goes towards Ankhush

Bully 1: "Or are you some kind of attention-seeking idiot?"

Bully 2: "Are you some kind of w**re, screaming for no reason?"

Before Ankhush could respond, Mansh stepped in, unfazed by their taunts.

Mansh: "I don't know about him, but your mom's the one who moans so much—I can hear her every time I think about her."

The words hit Bully 2 like a slap

His face turned red with rage.

Bully 2: "You little—!".

He grabbed Mansh's collar. Before Bully 1 could land a punch on Mansh, Ankhush pushed him onto a bench, and Mansh punches Bully 2 as hard as he could.

Shocked and afraid, the bullies ran out of the classroom and went straight to the teacher.

Bully 1 (pretending to cry): "Look, ma'am, what Mansh and Ankhush did to us! They waited for you to leave so they could hurt us. Look! My friend's eye is bruised!"

the teacher goes to class room 3-2.

The teacher glared at Mansh and Ankhush.

At first, she scolded them, but Mansh quickly defended Ankhush.

Mansh:Mam they were trying to bully ankhush

After listening to both sides, the teacher turned to the bullies.

Teacher: "So you two tried to bully them first? And then lied to me?"

The bullies shrank under her gaze.

As a result, the bullies were suspended for two weeks, while Mansh and Ankhush received a five-day suspension for fighting.

After school, Ankhush headed home, his mind still racing with questions about the novel.

As soon as he stepped inside, his mother noticed his early arrival.

Ankhush's Mom (confused): "Why are you home so early? School finishes at 3 PM."

Ankhush: "I got suspended for five days."

Her expression darkened.

Ankhush's Mom: "What did you do this time?"

Ankhush lowered his head.

Ankhush (in a sad tone): "I was so shocked to see something on my phone that I screamed in the middle of the class. When the teacher left, some kids started bullying me, so I got into a fight with them."

His mother sighed.

Ankhush's Mom: "It's not your fault. They were the ones trying to bully you. But still, picking fights is not a option."

Ankhush: "Please, I have a request. Can you meet the teacher and get my phone back from her?"

Ankhush's Mom: "Why does she have your phone? Don't tell me you were using it in the middle of the class again!"

Ankhush's mom scolded him for an hour,

then left to meet the teacher. Once she was gone, Ankhush went to his brother's room, took his phone, downloaded the app(wbnovel), and started reading the novel called Novel of Reality.

In the first chapter of the novel:
