Chapter 1: Prologue

A/N: The book cover was made by me, yes I know, it's a bit lazy on some parts, but eh

Also, to all ScribbleHub readers, I shall be posting one chapter every 3 days until it caught up with the other 2 sites I crosspost this, but if you are impatient and wants to read until the current chapter then feel free to visit Wattpad and Fanfiction.net, the story title is still the same "A Flash of Silver"

But if for some reason, you can't find the story, then you may search up my username instead "X3lNaga" on these sites

AFoS - Prologue

It was a normal day for a boy so far, though due to the lack of bread to eat this morning, he was asked by his parents to buy some pandesals from a bakery

Unfortunately for him, said bakery was quite far from the house he's living on, so he has resort to using a bike every time he was asked to buy some bread, which was every time they ran out of stocks of bread

The boy lifted his bike out of the wall hanger and slowly put it down to the ground, he was used to doing this, so he started thinking of plans for today, knowing full well that he most likely not do most of it

'Hm... I'm still quite into reading Honkai fanfics, and would probably stay that way for quite some time... Maybe try to check out Azur Lane fanfics? It's been a while since I've last checked it, there's probably some new stories that popped out.' He thought as he opens the gate and walked out with his bike in tow

'If there's no Azur Lane fanfics that interest me, then maybe try rereading some stories instead.... Hm...' He thought as he mounts his bike and started to let gravity do his work as the bike started going down the semi paved path

'Sinz of a Prinz, Senti in Date a Live, hm... Maybe Encrypted Bunny again? And also Great Harmonic Crossing... Damn, I really need to think of how to continue that. I knew posting that half-assed idea of a story is a mistake... But eh, what's done is done... And also DBD... I need to finish that map so I can start writing it, damn my OCD, damn my perfectionist ass that I inherited from my mother.' He thought, and then he sighs in exasperation as he thought of his unfinished map which caused him to be unable to write his original novel idea

It's been almost a year and that idea has been developed into a whole story in that time, the only reason why he hasn't started writing it was because of that map, which was the world map of the in-universe world. The boy doesn't want for his work's world to end up like those in animes or some web novels, 'as realistic as possible while also somewhat being entertaining.', that was the whole theme of his story after all

The boy sighs in exasperation again as he thought of all the countries he has to add, 'I already have more than thirty different countries, stopping now would be a waste.' he thought for the umpteenth time, it definitely wasn't the first time he thought of this exact train of thought regarding the DBD story of his, and it definitely wouldn't be the last time he thought of it

The boy sees a steep sudden upward as he turns an almost 90° turn, 'Habulin' as what the locals infamously calls it. The sudden upward climb would probably be between 70 and 80 degrees, hence why it became infamous among the locals. Without the momentum he got from the downward slide just before Habulin, he probably wouldn't be able to easily get to the top as he usually do

'Hm... Back on the original topic, Senti in DAL, Sinz of a Prinz, Maybe Back to the Source? Eh, probably yes... Encrypted Bunny, With Eyes Wide Shut, Conquest of the Sirens... Hm?' His train of thought stops as he sees a very very unusual sight, the road just before the main highway is closed, the boy sighs in exasperation again as he was forced to take the main highway

The boy usually avoids the main highway as long as it isn't necessary due to multiple reasons such as avoiding any accidents, but seeing his usual route is closed and it would be a waste of time to turn around and take the alternative road since it's quite further away, he continued his pedalling to the main highway

But just before the boy goes down the main highway, he looks to his left by habit and what he sees causes him to decide to not go down just yet

A speeding semi-trailer truck passes in front of him on the main highway

'Isn't it like 6 in the morning? Don't they usually only commute during the night to avoid accidents? And why the hell are they going so fast? I guess history wants to repeat itself.' The boy thoughts as he remembers the accident that happened some time ago, how long exactly? He can't remember, maybe a few months or maybe last year

Said accident was a speeding truck losing control and crashing everywhere, in fact, the location of said accident was right here... Well, it's not where truck crashed but it's on this same road and is probably just down the road

'Hm, wonder how many people got isekai'd?' The boy thought of an inappropriate joke, and he knows that full well

Though he found it strange that a truck would be commuting now, and that if he didn't have the habit to look before going, then he'd probably be dead by now due to that truck, though he would've avoid it entirely if it weren't for the fact that his usual route was closed for unknown reasons

The fact that two unusual things happened is quite a weird coincidence, and as not only being a reader of thousands of stories, but also being a writer himself, he feels that there's something happening...

Contrary to his better judgement, he starts going down the main highway
