[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
Growl~
I heard the loud and fearsome growl of the monster in the distance and hurriedly looked at the two books in front of me.
'Just what is he trying to do?'
....I still couldn't understand what the old man was trying to do. Was he trying to teach us or did he have another agenda?
"He did say this will help us, but..."
Looking towards the distance, I felt a little skeptical.
How was defeating a monster going to help me?
"It looks like I don't really have a choice, do I?"
I saw no way out of this place unless I defeated the monster. This was some sort of weird space that the old man had created. There was no way I could break it unless I followed his instructions.
"Which book should I use?"
I alternated my gaze between the two books.
'Fast to learn, but brings a lot of pain, or slow to learn, but no pain.'
