[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

We were currently in the infirmary. Unlike last time, I didn't sustain any serious injuries but I still had to be checked just for precaution.

"So you really did fall for it..."
Leon stood next to me with an all-knowing look.
I thought about rebutting him when I stopped.
Could it be said that I fell for it? Hmm... maybe I did when I thought about it. Nonetheless, it did help me push myself further.
There was a real chance I wouldn't have had such a high score had I not been provoked.
"Ukh...!"
I groaned yet again.
My head hurt yet again.
'I was so close.'
