[From the Author of Author's POV...] Emotions are like a drug to us. The more we experience them, the more we become addicted. The hardest part is not letting them consume us. But it's already too late for me. I've already been swallowed whole. *** I had no knowledge of the game. I was meant to have died. And yet, I found myself in this situation. A game I had never played before. A character I was unfamiliar with, and... A world that seemed to want to swallow me whole with every move I made. What the hell is going on? ...and who am I? *** Discord : https://discord.gg/PEbN7fc2ww
'....How is this possible?'
I couldn't tear my gaze away from the thin red leaf that sprouted from the ground. I couldn't believe my eyes, and upon thinking about the scene from before, a thought occurred to me.
'When the old man was coughing, a little bit of the blood spilled.'
Could it be that...
'Wait, is that even possible?'
The idea seemed absurd, yet as I stared at the scene unfolding before me, I felt my convictions begin to overturn.
But even so, that wasn't all.
In spite of my attempts at trying to move, I was still stuck in place.
I couldn't move, and all I could do was stare blankly at the small leaf on the ground beneath me.
'How long...'
Beneath the arid air, I stood while watching the leaf grow taller.
