Shu Xian was waiting for her friends, Shi Lian and Zhang Ren. As she was waiting for them, she then started to think of her assignment when it comes to creative writing. 

One of her major classes that she was taking with Shi Lian is her creative writing class. With her already thinking of a possible plot, she then scribbled it down on her notebook for her to polish when she has the time. 

The story that she decided to make is going to be a fantasy-based story. With her already thinking of possible scenes for her synopsis, she also formulated a title for her fantasy story.

"Wh-who the hell are you and why are you kissing me!?"

With Aranea backing away as she hid her lips with her forearm, the blue-haired man who came out of nowhere approached her, making Aranea stand up abruptly but was suddenly stopped when he knelt down right in front of her.

"Where is my phone!? Why did you turn into a human being? Why did you kiss me!?"

Ignoring her series of questions, the man held her right hand then he kissed the back of her palm, introducing himself to her—everyone flabbergasted with what he said.

"My name is Leonel. I am your loyal familiar that you have summoned, Aranea Griffin."

Aranea Griffin, together with her twin sister, Elenea Griffin, received an invitation to enroll in a magic school.

Their foster mother was ecstatic to receive such news! However, she felt doubt on how Aranea had received the invitation when they knew that she did not possess any magical powers compared to her twin sister having musical, healing powers!

That was what most people thought... until Aranea kissed her phone, transforming it into a man who claimed to be her loyal familiar!

Maybe Aranea may not be as powerless as they think she is…

With her already formulating the synopsis, she then opened her phone and looked into the first draft of her chapter that she did. With her reading what she did, she then jotted down what to add, what to remove, and what to edit. 

"I\'m sorry... I\'m so sorry..."

Two infants cried as they heard their mother\'s desperate voice. The woman\'s tears fell on the infants\' faces as she embraced them both tightly.

The flames surrounding their house worsened by the second, making the woman look around for possible exits for their escape.

"Where are you, you damned woman!?"

When the woman heard the angry voice of the man who vowed to kill her, she panicked, her eyes watering as she looked at the unconscious man beside her. She cried once more as she put her babies down and held the face of the unconscious man.

"What am I going to do?" she whispered as she looked at her crying babies once more, unsure of what to do.

The woman heard faint footsteps and she slowly looked back, with a fierce expression on her face replacing the distressed one. She wanted to put up a brave front in order for her to mask her cowardice.

The woman in ragged clothes looked at the man condescendingly. Upon inspecting the man\'s face, his flesh was already showing due to the burns he got from the fire.

"Go away!" the woman said sharply, but the man just shook his head then looked at her like she had said something stupid.

The man laughed evilly then he aggressively kicked the woman in front of him, making her cough out blood. The old man bent slowly, grabbing the woman by the hair, making her face him head-on.

"What are you going to do? You betrayed me!"

There was sarcasm and anger in the man\'s voice. Despite feeling pain and sorrow, the woman spat on the old man\'s face. The old man released the woman\'s hair and gave her a hard punch on the face, making her lie on the ground.

He was ruthless. Merciless.

"Do you want to lose everything!?"

The man pointed at the crying infants, ready for an attack as he held the handle of his sword tightly. The woman\'s motherly instinct kicked in as she sensed danger coming from the enemy. She stood up and went in front of her babies, protecting them.

"No, stop! What more do you want?!"

Hearing the desperation and fear in the woman\'s voice, the man let out a menacing laugh as he walked slowly towards the unconscious man, lying on the burning house\'s ground. He stepped on the man\'s chest, then stared at the woman with angry eyes.

"Choose between them... as you did with us."

The eyes of the woman widened in horror.

"What!? H-how could you let me do this?"

The woman cried once more as she took her crying infants in her arms. She embraced them tightly, scared that the mad man might kill them.

"No... how could YOU do this to me?" the man said, disdain and rage etched in his voice. He tightly held his sword and he pointed at her, then back at the unconscious man he was stepping on. "Choose someone to kill as a sacrifice... and I\'ll spare whoever you chose. Him, or your children?"

The woman could no longer control her tears. She wailed as she embraced her babies tightly, looking at the unconscious man on the ground.

"Well!?"

The man\'s voice roared inside the burning house, forcing the woman to rush to a decision. The woman looked at her two beautiful babies, then back at the unconscious man. Her heart started beating uncontrollably fast as she found it difficult to choose.

The woman slowly put the infants down and stood up, facing the man. She approached the man then she slowly got the sword from his hand. She had already decided who to sacrifice.

The woman walked hesitantly, stopping in between the unconscious man and the two crying infants who now find it difficult to breathe because of the smoke. Tears escaped from the woman\'s eyes once more as she rose the sword shakily, ready for a deathly strike.

"It has to be done," the man reminded her and the woman closed her eyes for a moment.

"Ha!"

Overcoming her uncertainty and her woe, the babies were silenced in one strike. The blood of the babies pooled on the ground, making the woman succumb to her knees and drop the sword.

With shaking hands, the woman held their bodies one last time as she closed her eyes shut, feeling heartbroken to have chosen their deaths. With despair and at the same time determination, she looked at her babies one last time.

"Wait for me... I\'m sorry."

--

"Ah!"

The red-haired girl fell from her bed, waking her up from her nightmare. She panted as she sat on her bed, calming herself down.

She clutched on to her chest, feeling every heartbeat as she felt fear. Soon after, the lamp on their bedside table lit up, giving their room some light.

"Aranea, what\'s wrong?"

Groggy, the blonde-haired girl approached her sister. She was rubbing her eyes as she waited for her twin sister to speak.

"Elenea... I had that dream again," Aranea answered and Elenea looked at her with concerned, worried eyes.

"I\'m worried... you\'ve been having that dream since your 15th birthday. It\'s been almost four years. We have to tell mom," Elenea suggested and Aranea just shook her head.

"Not now... tomorrow," Aranea whispered and her sister nodded.

"Now go back to sleep. It\'s three in the morning. We might wake mom up," Elenea whispered and Aranea agreed as she laid her head on the pillow. Elenea turned off the lamp but Aranea still stared at their ceiling.

\'Why do I keep having that nightmare? It\'s so frustrating!\'

Aranea sighed, feeling exasperated as she embraced her spare pillow tightly. Before she knew it, she had already drifted back to sleep.

However, the woman in her dream kept echoing her last statement inside Aranea\'s mind, giving her discomfort the whole night.

\'Wait for me... I\'m sorry.\'

What could that mean and why was she dreaming about it since her 15th birthday?

As the girl grew up during those four years, it made her think that maybe the dream is telling her something.

***

Shu Xian thought that there is no need to change anything in her story. With her already looking at it with an acceptable smile, she then gave her story a title.

Accidental Harem: Let\'s Kiss Again!

At the same moment, she already heard a knock on her door, Wan Wan walking beside her as Shu Xian then made her way to the door to see who just came. 

Actually, she had a strong feeling who was before the door. With her already opening for their entry, she then immediately saw Shi Lian and Zhang Ren who visited, Shu Xian\'s grinning at them ear to ear. 

"You\'re both here! Finally!"

As she gave both of them an embrace, she then welcomed them into the house, excited that they will further talk about the things that they have missed so far in just two days.
