[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.

Perhaps a similar situation would occur.
'The only difference is that Delilah is very strong which can explain the delay, but what about me...?'
I was nowhere near as strong as her.
"Haa."
With a helpless sigh, I stood up.
