It was at this moment, Frozen Milk felt a new kind of despair and fear threatening to burst his senses. The last time he felt like this was when his villain was after his life. Yes, what Frozen Milk experienced once again was that he was bordering on life and death now.

"Let's calm down for a bit here, okay? You might've hit your head and we should resume the conversation at a later time like perhaps you know never?" he tried to stop Glimpse Water and weighed his options:

A: punch Glimpse Water and run

B: throw Glimpse Water into the waterfall and run

C: hit Glimpse Water and run

D: pee at Glimpse Water and run

WTF? His system snickered after whispering the options in his mind. Frozen Milk was furious! How come he couldn't get rid of this annoying foreboding?

"or E, don't even think about doing anything to me."

Frozen Milk once again realised he didn't shut his damn mouth.

Once he returned back to reality, he sat there on the grass tied up in front of Glimpse Water. Where did Glimpse Water pull out a rope? Only heaven knew! Frozen Milk gave up. He didn't even have the energy to react to all this crap anymore.

Being a straight man was hard! All the excitement left him, and he slowly started to feel feverish again. It was almost evening, Prota would soon come back from work. Frozen Milk had to find a way to escape this situation.

"On that day," Glimpse Water started and stared at Frozen Milk's vulnerable form, "your words made me realise something. I had a divine foretelling."

Frozen Milk mentally rolled his eyes.

"I know who you are. There's a little voice of wisdom whispering in my mind."

"Isn't that just your system?" Frozen Milk lost against his urge to react and commented on the ongoing stupidity floating around. He caught stupidity! He wasn't stupid from the beginning!

"But I didn't know it could be actually true. It's like my whole existence lost its meaning..."

"Isn't that because you turned evil?"

"Why don't you love me? Why do you love the protagonist more?"

Hoooooooooooooooold up!!! Frozen Milk was taken aback, visibly shocked. No, this plot development was way too fast. He thought Glimpse Water was just joking and confused him for someone else but he actually knew who he was?

Who in the world would accept it so easily that they were created and their whole life has been fabricated?

It was literally an existential crisis!

And the only thing you fucking think about is why I don't fucking love you? That's important? That's the thing that bothers you the most?

"The voice of wisdom-"

"SYSTEM!"

"- is telling me you want to kill me."

Was that why he was sulking like this right now? Why he disgraced him by making him pee in front of him?

Was that revenge? Did it satisfy you? Was that a lesson? Punishment?

"It's not killing, it's more like-"

"STOP! Do you hate me this much?"

Glimpse Water attacked Frozen Milk and pushed him to the ground. Glimpse Water looked like a son wronged by his father, having endured unfair treatment by his cold and aloof old man who always scolded and neglected him and preferred his brother.

Fuck, Frozen Milk sighed. Glimpse Water was also his character. He was also his son! Frozen Milk felt like an abandoned single father of many kids who turned out this way because he chased off their mother. Who was their mother? It was Frozen Milk too! So, did anyone see the problem here?

"Why do you have to be this mean to me? Ain't I your son too?"

STOOOOP! Don't call yourself my son! Don't look at me this hurt! What are you being jealous of your own characters for? Fuck, why do you accept this so easily? Were you actually hoping for something like this?

"Get off me!"

There it was again! Frozen Milk's cold treatment.

"Fine, if you hate me so much then I should just get rid off you before you can destroy any of my plans!" Glimpse Water seriously tried to strangle him.

Frozen Milk coughed and wriggled but it was futile. He rang for air, but none wanted to enter his body and fill his lungs. His mind spiralled, his fever was still bothering him and now he was about to die because of the lack of oxygen. His vision doubled and he could barely stay conscious anymore. Was this how it was going to end? Killed off by his own character?

Frozen Milk's face flushed red and his whole body burnt up. Glimpse Water finally noticed the abnormally high temperature and let go of him. Frozen Milk didn't move, however. Glimpse Water put his hand on Frozen Milk's forehead and froze:

"You... you have a fever?"

Frozen Milk didn't answer and could barely open his eyes.

"Don't try to guilt-trip me here! You think I care about you?" yet Glimpse Water towered over Frozen Milk with a worried expression.

Truly a tsundere, was the only thing that flew around Frozen Milk's heated brain. It was now dark and the lights of the place illuminated them. Glimpse Water took off the ropes one by one and threw them away. Then he looked at Frozen Milk's vulnerable form lying underneath him.

"Why do you reject me? Father?" Glimpse Water whispered and brought himself closer to Frozen Milk.

Frozen Milk's ears had oceans in them, the waves crashed against his eardrums making any other sound impossible to hear. It was a good thing he couldn't hear or else he'd have exploded with rage, embarrassment and shyness.

"I'll be a son worthy of you," Glimpse Water's 180-degree turn surprised himself. He was still hurt and mad at this person who was supposed to be his creator but seeing him suffer like this awakened a side, Glimpse Water thought he'd lost after he transmigrated and turned into scum.

Glimpse Water caressed Frozen Milk's cheeks when suddenly he was blown away. He looked up and found the protagonist protectively shielding Frozen Milk.

"Stay away from him," the protagonist glared at Glimpse Water and held Frozen Milk close in his arms as if he was trying to mark his territory.

"I wasn't going to do anything to him anyway," Glimpse Water shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be indifferent but the sight sure stung in his eyes.

"Don't lie, I saw you all over him," Prota's usual bright and cheerful face turned extremely dark and dangerous. Even Glimpse Water knew not to mess with him and just clicked his tongue.

"You saw wrong."

Prota carried Frozen Milk like a princess and the system sighed as it couldn't witness Frozen Milk's priceless reaction to all of this. It'd have been great entertainment.

"Don't follow us," Prota's voice could easily freeze the blood in veins but Glimpse Water didn't care as he knew he had plot armour and couldn't be killed.

In fact, he was the one who would've killed off the protagonist and antagonist. His system told him about his ending that Frozen Milk planned and masked it as a prophecy but who knew it was all planned by another author, by his creator?

When his system told him that someone transmigrated to stop his plans and kill him, he would've never thought it was his creator. His father.
