Re:Different But Better

A thief and a shut in

NOTE: I THOUGHT IT WAS SPELT EMELIA AND NOT EMILIA. YOU WILL NOTICE ME SPELLING IT EMELIA FOR THE NEXT TWO CHAPTERS, I HAVE FIXED IT ON FANFICTION.NET BUT IT LITERALLY TOOK ME HALF AN HOUR AND IM TOO LAZY TO FIX IT HERE. I AM VERY SORRY AND WILL BE SPELLING IT CORRECTLY IN THE CHAPTERS AFTER 3

Gore warning because of Elsa.

(Quick editors note: I realized how much this might seem as a Subaru x Felt fic, which it is not. So uh, yeah, just keep that in mind- oh and because Lugnica's currency is wonky and weird lets say each coin is 100 to one, so 1 holy coin would be 100 gold coins. Just so its easier for me.)

(Another editors note: Ok, so, went through the entire document again on phone. I am pretty sure I fixed every typo and broken sentance, so this SHOULD be the best version of the chapter. I hope.)

《Line Break》

"this is how they get you hooked? Seriously?"

Said a certain 17 year old boy in a gas station, flipping through the pages of a random manga he had chosen through the assortments of various manga. It was an isekai, the generic power trip story of a guy who gets teleported to a different world, gifted with some super power and then given a harem of women who love him for no real reason. According to a friend from... a long time ago the way they get you hooked is by the magic system and the world... But, this is just some generic magic system and world. The main character can use all magic types even though they're supposed to be restricted to two so what's even the point of the restriction in the first place?

He thought as he placed it back into the slot it was in before he had taken it out. He looked out of the window Infront of him..

"Gosh its dark"

He noted to himself, he couldn't even see anything, there was a street lamp but it was barely working and it was flickering. Nothing was outside either, or he just couldn't see whatever it was that was outside. He turned around and looked at the contents of his bag, cup noodles, some chips and a bottle of water. Was there anything else he needed? Maybe a manga that doesn't suck? He dismissively shook his hand as he thought no, he could just order something that he specifically searched for at home.

He walked up to the counter, not saying a word to the cashier as he placed the plastic bag and all of its contents on the register. They said their generic forced greeting, a hello, wishing you a good day and smiling. Something about the forced smiles people at restaurants or cashiers would be forced to do always put him off, it made him feel.. nostalgic, even though he had never forced himself to smile or show an emotion he didn't felt. Whether it were for worse or better. He sighed as he heard them tell them how much it costed, he nodded and handed over a couple of bills and took what small sum of coins were handed back to him. He put the coins away into his pocket before he grabbed the plastic bag from the register and left. Just ignoring whatever forced farewell the worker was needed to say.

He walked over to the two automatic sliding doors, the doors opening with a small chime as they did. He walked outside, taking small glances to his sides to check for muggers.. As if he had anything someone wanted. He chuckled to himself as he turned to the right and began making his way to his bus stop. Looking at the cars that would drive by, he wondered why people would even be driving at such a late time. Maybe it was the same reason he had... to go "grocery" shopping at a gas station? No, definitely not. He sighed as he made it to the bus stop, he took out his phone and looked at the time, then at when the bus would arrive. Just 2 minutes, seems like he's in luck. Now hopefully the bus isn't late, all he can do for that is hope unfortunately. And it seems his wishes were granted as he saw the bus from a far distance, so he waited the minutes it would take for it arrive.
