Books were Allen's favorite thing in the world, where reality was unforgiving and harsh, books have the ability to be something totally different. They could be about monsters and happy endings with princes and princesses, and they were his safe haven. He used books so he could escape the world he lived in, so he didn't have to be anyone. That's why he started writing books, so he could help other people escape their lives as well. By the time he was twenty-six he had published six books, all about a man by the name of Ash, who wakes up one day to find a mysterious man in his house. The mystery man named Steel drags Ash to another dimension so he can help this stranger defeat terrifying beasts. Unbeknownst to him, Ash had magical powers, waiting to be unleashed.
Allen loved his books with all his heart and stashed away a piece of himself in each one, he didn't care about the money or fame that it 's why he had created a pen name for himself so no one he knew would figure out he was the one that wrote those books. He wanted his life to remain calm, so he made sure no one would recognize his pen name, The Fourteenth. It was the name that his uncle had gone by when he was a musician, and he knew no one in his circle of friends know that. Allen had been careful over the years to keep his secret, as he friends swooned over The Fourteenth, the author of the book series called The Traveler. Allen had even been careful enough as to never reveal his face to anyone, he always wore a mask to cover his face and had a hood up at all times to cover his hair. He had become known as The Masked Writer. People to this day were still trying to figure out who he was, and Allen was terrified that one day they might actually find him. All someone had to do was dig really deep to find his deceased uncle and find his musician name.
Even a close friend of his, Kanda, had come close to finding the truth. Maybe it would be today where he realized that Allen was The Fourteenth, maybe he was getting closer and closer every day. Allen stared at the clock as he sat at his desktop computer, he was getting extreme writer's block at the moment from thinking about all of it. He pushed himself out of his chair and went to go get some tea from the fridge and sat back down. He tapped his fingers on the keyboard and concentrated, he suddenly snapped his fingers, "That's it!" he muttered to himself before he went to town on the keyboard. The book he was working on was the epic finale of The Traveler, and he wanted it to be just perfect, so he shut himself up in his room until he finally got the plot developed for the book. Ash and Steel would finally confront the tyrant that controlled all of the beasts that were destroying towns and killing people. The two would complete their search for all of the magical relics and gain enough strength to defeat him.
Allen had two ideas for an ending, one, Ash would die and Steel would spend the rest of his life searching for a way to resurrect him. Or two, Ash would return to his planet and his boring life. But he's crushed by returning to this old planet with his new powers without Steel. As Ash is suffering, Steel had devised a plan to get to Earth again and spend the rest of his life with Ash. The more that Allen thought about it, the more appealing option two was becoming. It was absolutely perfect. He turned off his phone and put some classical music to get his creative juices flowing. He had a certain goal in mind for how much he wanted to write today, and he was determined to reach it. Allen chewed on his lip, he couldn't believe he was going o finally end his series, and that excited him more than anything. He spent hours on his computer, typing it all up until someone tapped him on the shoulder.
He jumped out of his seat and took out the headphones before slamming his laptop shut. Kanda was standing right behind him, with his eyes wide. He had seen it, he knew Allen's secret. "K-KANDA?! What are you doing in my house?" Allen asked, trying to play it cool before he completely freaked out.
"I texted you that I was coming over." Kanda told him, giving him a weird glare, "But you didn't answer, so I came to check on you." Allen swallowed nervously.
"My phone was off-"
"You're The Fourteenth." Kanda blurted, "All this time I had been right about you. I knew it was you, but I didn't want to say anything because I knew I could be wrong." Allen frowned and tapped his foot nervously. Was he going to reveal his identity to the world? "Why do you do it, Allen? Why do you hide behind that mask?"
"I-I was afraid-"
"Of what?" Kanda asked, "That they wouldn't like you?"
"No, I was afraid they wouldn't like my face," Allen said quickly, so he wouldn't be interrupted. "I wanted my life at home to be calm." Kanda wouldn't understand, Allen's appearance wasn't soft on the eyes. It was exotic and different, so different that Allen didn't want to risk not getting published because of what he looked like. He also wanted his fans to love him and his writing before they judged him for his looks.
"You shouldn't be afraid of your looks, Allen. You're beautiful."
xxx
"Today, the last book of The Traveler was released by The Fourteenth, and to celebrate its conclusion he gave his fans exactly what they had been asking for in the beginning." said the news reporter, "A picture of what he actually looks like." A picture of Allen popped up on the corner, Lenalee, Lavi, and Kanda all sat on the couch together. Lenalee screamed and paused the TV. "IT WAS YOU THE ENTIRE TIME!?" Lenalee screeched.
"Yeah, I never actually planned on revealing my identity, but I had a little encouragement from a certain someone," Allen responded.
"Che. It was nothing." Kanda muttered.
