Miss Otaku

Tsidkenu YA&Teenfiction

“You are not limited by the circumstances of your birth but by the size of your dreams.” (Dr. B)

Miss Otaku, The Introvert, Miss Flat Affect - that's what Lily has been known for in her school. She looks so ordinary and average, having no talent or beauty to offer to the world except her good heart. She is one who can attract less attention when placed in a sea of people. What’s more, she always stays inside her small room and does ‘who-knows-what’. In short, she is no one as her classmates put it.

She has been an outcast in her school, one who has always sat in the corner of the room and wished that the teacher never noticed her. She grows short hair at the back with shaved hair from the neck up to half of her head but long bangs that covers almost half of her face. She has always been bowing her head on the desk and only raises it up when answering questions. Having only a couple of “costumes” that she alternately wears at school, she has been criticized, ridiculed and laughed at as being poor, dirty and weird. Regardless of the criticisms and rejections though, she remains silent wherever she goes. She has always been one who has kept a low profile for so long.

That's why it all came as a shock when her name was seen in the national news as “the high schooler who turned the world outside down”. Not everybody knew that she is “The Character” that emerged in the computer game who made everyone crazy in the virtual world recently. While everybody was busy criticizing, rejecting her personal preferences and pushing her away, she has been busy building her world where no man could dictate who she is or what she could become. Nobody knew that she has been building her world where no one could dictate what she should be or do. She has placed everything she wanted in there – and no society could ever criticize her.

Join Lily as she explores the cruel world and discovers who she is in the process, from obscurity to prominence.
