[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
'I died.'
...At least, in the vision.
Taking a deep breath, I calmed myself down and replayed everything that had happened in my mind.
'The old man is a lunatic who doesn't like people lying to him.'
This much became clear to me after he killed me for something like lying. Maybe he didn't even care that I lied and just wanted to kill me?
'No, that's not it...'
Recalling those last moments and how enraged he looked after catching me in my lie, I could tell he genuinely disliked people lying to him.
I didn't understand why but I noted this piece of information in my mind.
There was something more important that I needed to take note of.
'...The tune.'
The old man said something about the tune keeping the puppets away.
I replayed the tune in my mind.
It wasn't complicated. In fact, it was quite easy but...
'Mary the little lamb?'
"Uh...?"
