I looked at the comments on my video.
Different strangers with different opinions all arguing under my video.
"Baba, Tumininu is finer than Simi"
"Simi no even fine like that"
"Guy, shut up, Simi is finer than that drag queen"
"Bro thought he ate"
Why?
Why the fuck were people arguing under my comment section about another content creator and comparing me to her?.
Because we create the same videos?.
I'm into vlogs and skincare and I've been doing that for 3+ years now. And it's been going great now, with 2.4M following.
Yeah it's a thing to brag about
But then this little bitch .... Came from nowhere, called herself "Tunmininu" or something and started copying every video I make.
Ugh, talk about (censored).
Anyways everyday since then, it's been like a war. People constantly comparing us online as to who did the videos better or who looked prettier or who did this and that
Like I actually seriously cared.
Honestly, all I wanted was a normal life.
I'm 23 for crying out loud.
I'm in my last year in the University and my parents keep nagging me to get a job before graduating.
So I started doing vlogs to survive. At first, I didn't get much following or views, but eventually after changing my makeup style, people seemed more interested in what I used.
And I was so pretty that I quickly became famous fast. With all other content creators begging to do a collaboration with me.
Before I knew it, the cash came in and life became a smooth sail.
But ever since this Tunmininu of a girl arrived, everyday feels so stressful. Posting feels like a chore and I have to watch everything I do because now, people would antagonize me saying I was copying her makeup style.
Some people even came up with the theory that i bullied her in Secondary School.
Then before you knew it, sometimes she was better than me.
I didn't even know the girl
And it seems she was enjoying the clout because this human being actually tagged me to one of her videos once saying that I challenged her to a makeup challenge claiming she wasn't pretty enough
And that was enough to spark up a controversy.
Girl got the views and the money
I got the hate
And people started using A.I to even fake things.
We were in 2025, what wasn't possible?.
I decided to ignore the negative comments because, why not?
I honestly didn't have time for this ....
I had to go live to promote another skincare. The job wasn't going to do itself.
Besides collaborations, I basically worked for brands.
And this was definitely enough to get me started on the right track.
"Omo .... Sometimes I hate my life ehn...."
I checked my pocket mirror to check if my face looked rough or oily, then I arranged my makeup on the table.
After that I set up my ring lights and I placed my phone on the tripod at a lower level
Perfect
"Hi guys" I immediately said going live. I closed my eyes and sprayed a face product around. "It's your girl Simi, today I would be going-" I opened my eyes after .....
Suddenly my phone was gone, and my tripod, and my makeup table and my mirror.
Infact that wasn't the only thing that was gone.
My makeup, the setting spray in my hand and .... Crazily, my entire room.
My hand was empty, I was sited on a bed and I felt long blue hair strands fly around my body continuously.
And my surroundings looked like the ancient bedroom of a queen or something.
"Your Majesty" A girl gently called while standing at the door, entering the room I was in. "It's time for your royal bath. The leaders request your presence soon"
The girl was dressed in a maid's attire and she kept her head low the entire time. She was also dark like me and had long virgin hair .....
"Are you talking to me?" I had to clarify
"Your Majesty " the girl looked worried, then she bowed her head again "I am addressing your Majesty"
"Me?????"
What the fuck was happening?
Why was I in somebody else's room and why was some cosplayer calling me her Majesty?
Was this some kind of prank?
Is this a juju spell that one of my ex's might have done?
Is it Joshua???
Is it because I left him for a taller guy???
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I suddenly started to scream.
What was going on?
Who was this?
Where was I?
I just finally found myself a decent income and I'll finally soon be graduating from that irritating school .....
And now they just had to kidnap me with juju?
God abeg!
"Your Majesty!" The girl immediately panicked "I'll call the royal physician immediately " then she ran out, leaving me screaming alone in the room like a mad person.
I swear I don't know what happened next because all I could remember was that I suddenly blacked out.
.........
When I woke up, I saw a very old man around me. He had some herns on his hand and I could swear that they all smelt so bad that I almost passed out again.
"Your Majesty, you're finally awake" he said in a calm, slow voice. The same girl that came to me before was standing at the door again but this time there was someone with her
"I told you there was no reason to panick" a young girl said, coming out. She looked like a teenage and she had on a traditional lace ballgown.
Lace keh?
And how did she get adire beads on her neck??
At this point, I was 100% sure I was hallucinating.
"Well damn," I started to talk to myself "I've finally lost it. All those hate comments sha don succeed. Person don finally craze"
Everyone around me looked confused.
"It seems like she's been infected with one magic spell that's making her speak in a different language that we do not understand"
As how nah?
I sat up immediately, with full strength. "What kind of scam doctor are you?" I immediately said
The man looked confused Scam .....?"
"Someone better explain to me what's going on or I swear I will beat somebody in this room". The maid immediately looked terrified at my threat and fell at the floor then started begging for mercy
"Please spare my life, please spare my life" she was literally chanting.
If only I had my phone with me, I would take a video of this place and post it on social media.
No one might actually believe me, they would think it was A.I. The place looked too beautifully crafted and it was definitely a palace.
And it looked so familiar....
I had to look around more and then it finally hit me.
This place wasn't real, it belonged to a novel I read once when I didn't have anything doing at the hostel.
It was the Kingdom of Aludgi. And the name of the novel was "I would run a thousand races for you". It was actually supposed to be a romance novel but the book was extremely messed up.
Actually a lot of things were messed up.
If her suspicions were right, and she did end up in a novel, then
"Um .... Ayo" she called out. The girl in the ballgown looked at me unfazed
"Yes" she replied. And then I swallowed my saliva. "What's my name?" I asked, begging that it was all a coincidence
"Ife" she replied ... Then rose an eyebrow "what's wrong with you?, you've been behaving weird since you woke up from sleep"
And that's when it hit me!
I've been transmigrated. And not just into any body.
INTO THE BODY OF THE MOST USELESS CHARACTER IN THE BOOK!!!
"Can you guys give me some time alone please?" I requested
"Suit yourself " the girl sarcastically said, then the physician and the maid bowed their heads and they all left.
So I had a few things to clear out first.
I transmigrated
Into the body of a queen
But not just any queen ....
I then looked at my reflection at the window to confirm my words. And I almost had a heart attack.
Truly the most useless character in the book. Omo ... I really wanted to cry ....
Queen Ife was the main Character of the book. Or to put it better, the female lead. She was extremely beautiful no doubt, but she also had the brain of a fish ....
And I'm not exactly smart either.
She was a very rich and spoil princess who had everything she wanted. But unfortunately one day, she refused to marry the son of a south side emperor, saying he wasn't her type. Her parents got upset because she was basically useless and all she did was spend their money
And unfortunately for her, that insult also lost them a huge deal.
And because she was the only child, they couldn't disown her.
So as a punishment, they gave her quarter of their kingdom and decided to go let her establish hers.
That's how became the Queen of the smallest and weakest region in the entire map. With no help whatsoever from her parents.
Life wasn't perfect for her either but she had a few noblemen she could have a drink with and squander of their money before they closed their eyes and opened it.
That's how she had been surviving, while the Kingdom was basically in sherds.
A really bitch girl if you ask me ..
No wonder her parents dropped her.
And that Ayo girl was supposed to be someone to watch over her and report to her parents.
But Ife didn't know that
But I do ....
But ... Besides the fact that I entered the body of a good for nothing spoilt ex princess, this book itself makes no sense.
I wasn't sure what the author was driving at, but the fool mixed ancient Nigerian Culture with the western one. Saying he wanted to try something new for Nigeria ...
Like, who the fuck sent him message????
And the worst part, it's an incomplete book.
I was enjoying my life, who the hell brought me here and why?
And it couldn't even be inside the body of even a maid, seriously ....
IFE!!!!
I looked miserably at my reflection in the mirror
"I want to go home" I was telling myself.
I didn't budget my life for this
What the actual hell?
"Your Majesty" the same maid called me, standing at the door. "The leaders wish to see you now"
"Leaders?"
