I started writing my own web novel 2 months ago.

The story revolves around a guy who gets sent back in time and now that he knows what is going to happen in future he tries not to make the same mistakes again that he regrets.

As the novel's story is based in my own country which is india i tried my best to come up with names which will match the vibes of my story, but i kind of suck in coming up with names for any character.

I wanted to give the main character of the novel my own name but i don't think that's a good idea.

I also thought of doing the same thing with the other characters by giving them the names from people who were /are part of my real life.

But I also scratched that idea.

So if anyone has any suggestions they are free to leave their ideas.

Protagonist-

13 years old.

Too mature for his age.

Always seems to be in a bad mood.

Has a lot of self doubt.

Always overthink.

Other characters:

Female lead- also 13

Was a loner before but changed after being regressed and her personality changes to a social person.

There are many other characters like friends,teachers,relatives and some rivals and enemies will be added in the future.

So if you'll can suggest names for them that too is appreciated.

Thank you!

I... just had a dream.

It all started when...

...I was asleep, of course.

The dream I saw was from a world I never knew existed.

It was just me and a bunch of other guys who I assumed were my friends, even though I couldn't really remember their faces.

I once read somewhere that, in a dream, a person can't clearly see the faces of others—or even their own. They also can't properly look into a mirror or read a clock.

I don't know if that's true, but what I do remember was that it was daytime.

It must have been late afternoon, around 2 p.m. or so.

We were just chilling in a small apartment that looked somewhat familiar.

Some things around me were incredibly detailed—the refrigerator, the TV that my friends and I used to play video games on, and a sofa that was a slightly different color from the one in my house. There were many other little details too.

I don't know how to explain it, but I could literally feel everything that was happening around me.

It didn't feel like a dream.

It all felt real.

I couldn't clearly hear what my friends were talking about, but knowing them, it was probably another pointless conversation about some game or TV show.

Then...

...the phone rang in my pocket.

As I reached for it, I realized it wasn't the phone I normally use.

The caller's name and phone number were both blurred.

I answered the call.

The moment I picked up...

...I was no longer inside the apartment.

I found myself standing near a very old building that looked like it could collapse at any moment.

A young woman walked out of it.

She slowly approached me and held out her hand.

I had no idea what was happening, but without thinking, I reached out and took her hand.

From that moment onward, the rest of my day was spent traveling around the city with someone I didn't even know...

...yet somehow, she matched my energy perfectly.

We visited countless places.

Sometimes we were at a shopping mall.

Other times we were riding a bike with her sitting behind me, holding onto me.

I still couldn't clearly see anything, just like I mentioned before.

But the feeling...

...the feeling was real.

The feeling of being with someone who genuinely made you happy.

The feeling of having someone just like you by your side, enjoying every little moment together.

The memory that stood out the most was when we were walking through a nearby park.

As we exited through the gate, I suddenly felt a slight tug.

The girl—whose face I couldn't see and whose voice I couldn't hear—pointed toward a lake that looked almost identical to one I know in the real world.

I couldn't hear what she was saying.

But somehow...

...I knew.

She wanted to spend a little more time walking around the lake and watching the sunset together.

I don't know how long we had been together, but judging by the sky, it had been nearly three hours.

The sun was slowly sinking in the west, signaling the end of the day.

We continued walking hand in hand as unfamiliar people passed by.

To me, they were nothing more than background characters in a game.

She was the only person who mattered.

After a few more minutes, we came across an elderly couple sitting on a nearby bench, laughing and enjoying each other's company.

They also had two elderly cats with them.

The girl beside me asked if she could pet them.

The couple smiled and nodded.

We both reached down to pet the old, grumpy-looking cats.

One of them had deep black fur and wore an expression that looked permanently annoyed.

The other was, I think, a female.

She looked much older than the black one.

One of her ears had been torn away.

She had a scar running across her face.

Her white-and-orange fur was stained with blood, exposing patches of raw skin beneath.

For some reason...

I remember every tiny detail of that cat.

I felt genuinely sorry for her.

Despite their appearance, both cats quietly accepted our affection.

After petting them, I stood up.

Naturally...

I reached out to hold the hand of the person with whom I had just spent one of the happiest moments of my life.

.......

Nothing.

To my surprise, no one was standing beside me.

The girl who had shared one of the most precious moments of my life...

...was gone.

I looked around.

The elderly couple had disappeared.

So had the two cats.

Even the people who had been walking by were nowhere to be seen.

It was just me.

Standing alone in front of the lake.

I couldn't help but wonder...

"Was everything that just happened really a dream?"

.....

My eyes slowly opened.

I found myself back in my room.

The same refrigerator.

The same TV.

The very same things I had seen in my dream.

The only difference...

...was that I was alone.

For several seconds, I simply lay there, trying to understand where I was.

The warmth in my hand...

The feeling of someone by my side...

It had all vanished.

I looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.

The time was six in the evening.

Outside my window, the sky glowed with shades of orange and yellow.

The sun was about to disappear beyond the horizon.

It looked exactly like the sunset I had seen over the lake in my dream.

Hey everyone,

I'm writing this as an experiment. I wrote it in just two hours after waking up from a dream I had.

I hope you find it at least somewhat interesting. If you do, feel free to leave a comment—or criticize it, of course.

I started writing my own novel a week ago and thought it was a good start that I'm getting pretty good readers.When i saw the reader count had crossed 1k i was so happy soon to realise most of them were bots.🥲

Do make sure to leave a review or just comment.

I started to write my webnovel and posted a few chapters on the webnovel app a week ago, but the reader count doesn't increase much.

So does every novel has a slow start or am I going wrong in anything?
