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
"Welcome to our base camp!"
The base camp was just an empty big warehouse, but Valka introduced it as if it was a magnificent place. Well, it was not exactly open. The aged furniture was placed randomly all over the floor, making Niveus feel overwhelmed by how messy this place was.
Though the furniture was all old and barred, the warehouse was surprisingly clean. Niveus didn't spot a speck of dust or cobwebs decorating the warehouse. Still, seeing how the furniture was haphazardly placed made his OCD kick in.
"Did you recruit me because you needed a janitor?"
Unlike Niveus, Valka and the others already made themselves home in that messy warehouse. Ivan carried Zoe on his shoulder, heading toward the door in the back where a kitchen was located. Martin brought himself to the staircase leading to the upper floor. Valka settled on the worn-looking sofa while Gunter sat on the box crates beside her. They stared at Niveus expectantly.
