Chapter:1
Strange Mistake.
Foreword – A Shameless Plea for Your Support (and Maybe, My Freedom)
Hello there, dear reader.
My name is Usman Jamal, and this is—drumroll, please—my very first novel. I sincerely hope you enjoy it (or at the very least, don't hurl your phone across the room).
I'm from Pakistan, and yes, I read all your comments, criticisms, and kind words like my life depends on it—because, well… it kind of does.You see, I'm not writing this book alone. You, my lovely and privileged readers, will help shape the story. From time to time, I'll put decisions up to a vote. Think of it like being part of a secret author's council… except with more memes and moral dilemmas.
If you want to contact me or yell at me directly (nicely, please), I'm on Discord: usman0097912. I don't bite. Unless you're a golden ticket.
Now, here's the truth: I currently work 10 hours a day in waste and sanitation. That's right, I'm a literal garbage man, juggling trash bags by day and typing stories by night (often from my phone, sometimes while hiding from my boss).
But this novel? This is my dream. My tiny, scrappy rebellion against the soul-crushing grind. I want to quit my job and become a full-time author, and with your help—your likes, comments, power stones, and donations—I just might get there.
So, if you like what you're reading, consider tossing a few coins to your struggling writer. Every rupee helps. Every golden ticket is a tiny vote of confidence. And every gift pushes me one step closer to quitting my job and becoming your full-time story slave.
Here's the deal:
📌 2,000 Power Stones = 1 Bonus Chapter
📌 200 Golden Tickets = 1 Bonus Chapter
📌 1,000 Coins (Cumulative) = 1 Bonus Chapter (Unlimited)
📌 1 Golden Gachapon per month = I will face my ancestors, quit my job, and write for you full-time. No joke.
Look, I know this isn't the fanciest pitch. But I'm not a polished author with a big marketing team—I'm just a tired guy with big dreams and a really stubborn heart.
So, dear reader, I leave my fate in your hands. Show me I'm worthy of this path. Help me swap my trash bag for a keyboard. And I promise, on my honor, I'll do everything I can to make you proud.
Let's make something awesome together.
With gratitude (and a slightly aching back),
Usman Jamal
