[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
Ivan...? I frowned. The name felt unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time. However, I didn't have much time to dwell on it considering the situation that I was in.
"You aren't showing much of a reaction. Do you perhaps not know who I am?"
"...Should I?"
While I wasn't entirely familiar with the person in front of me, I more or less had a hunch. Few people could enter my mind space without alerting Delilah and Atlas who stood outside.
"Mhh, I guess not."
The man called Ivan said, shaking his head faintly.
"In fact, it doesn't even matter if you don't know. That's not important, is it?"
As he said those words, his eyes paused on the trapped Julien. With the chains biding his body, he was still showing a struggle.
Staring in his direction, I shook my head.
"No, it isn't."
