Before I woke up, I had a dream about the end of the world. At first, it felt like a vivid nightmare that left me shaken. But as I slowly woke up, I realized that the dream was the pre-ending scene of my own novel. I am Zio Varrez, an unnamed character in my own book, and to my disappointment, an extra. As I lived in my novel's world, I couldn't help but feel that my existence was meaningless. But what made it worse was the fact that the ending of my book was the end of the world - a bad ending. I knew I had to do something to become strong enough to change the world's fate, even if it meant altering the story I once knew completely. Little did I know, there was more to this world than I realized, and the journey I was about to embark on would uncover secrets that I never even imagined. "I thought I knew everything about the world, but as I lived and experienced it, I realized there was so much more to it than I ever imagined." === Daily update! === Author note: The story is going on rather slow pace, expect the boredom for the early 60 chapters
"Right. It's even more strange that you even believe what I just said."
"Yes… Wait, what?"
Zio chuckled.
"I'm just kidding. But seriously, this monument is not just a random architecture in the ruins. It holds important information."
"Information about what?"
"About the ruin. The origin of this place, which civilization that built it, and about what lies within."
Lux furrowed his eyebrows.
"I thought that the ruins are just a place containing treasures… something like dungeons."
Zio shrugged. "That's what people said. They're too greedy to care about something like this."
He walked away from the monument.
"Anyway, we're not here to talk about that. Let's hurry and find Lumi," said Zio as he looked around. "There should be something around here. Lux, let's search the area."
