Once upon a time, there exist four students who were suddenly eaten by a lake. Stumbling around in the new world, they later found it was a world similar to an otome game! With an actual heroine at play, the irregulars of this world unconsciously drove the plot to a certain ending. However, something's greatly amiss as everything seem to be a little bit too realistic and a little too tragic. They were supposed to be normal, if they were not the irregulars of this world. A simple otome game was completely not so simple anymore once the capture targets were involved and a certain heroine becoming strange! And did anyone mention there were others just like them? Irregulars? Well, we're doomed! • • • • *Story is written by me.

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

I have a curse. Every time I look at someone I have a connection or relationship with, I can see exactly how everything will fall apart between us. Except for him. I don't see anything with him. But maybe that's because there isn't even a beginning to begin with. -- Ellie wished she had a normal life. And she probably would've lived a pretty uneventful one if she had continued to keep quiet about her "superpower" or whatever. But, alas, life had different plans for her, all shaped in the form of one attractive, mysterious man named Zachary. Okay, maybe too much credit was given to Zachary, just because he was attractive. Ellie supposed "different plans" also included the big war between other people just like her and the other-other people who are not so much like her, but wanted people like her dead. Yeah, that was pretty important too. But it all started with Zachary, so that was her excuse. Yes. It all starts and ends with you.

Midnight Achilles Arch was born different. She didn't cry when she was just delivered. She just blinked her bubbly grey eyes open and started staring at the people around her. She didn't bask in the attention that came with being a royal princess like her brothers and sisters either. She didn't like the thousands of eyes that bore into her whenever she entered a room. She liked her own company and she liked to read, preferably alone or with her mother. She didn't get her special Xlinx or Vampire gifts when she became 12 either. Her siblings doubted her genes when she couldn't heal quicker than normal people and was unable run as fast as the wind. But her mother always told her that they were just jealous as she was special in her very own way. Like the way she could sense danger before something happened, and the way she had a 'friend' who always looked out for her. And exactly like the way how she revived that crow that hit her bedroom window one evening. "They tell me I'm different mommy," She had said against her mother's neck late one night as Rose held her 7-year-old darling in her arms. Rosemarie smiled. "You are different, baby girl, but in a good way. You're something special." "Like you mommy?" She blinked up at her mom, her grey orbs glimmering under the moonlight. "Yeah," She kissed her on the forehead, "Just like me...Only better." *Xlinx: a supernatural creature that has divine special powers. Spin-off of Vampire Mates and Dark Mates
