[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
The Orb pulsed before me.
It throbbed like the beat of a heart.
I stood motionless, staring at it with a blank mind. The world outside seemed to freeze. I knew this wasn't the case and the world was flowing at the same speed.
It was just that my thoughts were running so fast that the world outside appeared to freeze.
"...."
In the darkness, I stood before the orb.
Throb! Throb...!
With each throb, the orb grew brighter and brighter.
The darkness that embraced it faded, replaced by a dim red glow.
I stood in a trance, my eyes tracing over the Orb that shrank and became the size of a football.
The sight made my blood boil.
"Hooo."
I drew in a cold breath as I looked at my hands.
As if I had some sort of X-ray vision, I was able to see the veins inside of my body. They throbbed in the same rhythm as the Red Orb that stood before me.
Throb! Throb!
