The Unrecorded Extra
Before I woke up, I had a dream about the end of the world. At first, it felt like a vivid nightmare that left me shaken. But as I slowly woke up, I realized that the dream was the pre-ending scene of my own novel. I am Zio Varrez, an unnamed character in my own book, and to my disappointment, an extra. As I lived in my novel's world, I couldn't help but feel that my existence was meaningless. But what made it worse was the fact that the ending of my book was the end of the world - a bad ending. I knew I had to do something to become strong enough to change the world's fate, even if it meant altering the story I once knew completely. Little did I know, there was more to this world than I realized, and the journey I was about to embark on would uncover secrets that I never even imagined. "I thought I knew everything about the world, but as I lived and experienced it, I realized there was so much more to it than I ever imagined." === Daily update! === Author note: The story is going on rather slow pace, expect the boredom for the early 60 chapters
The Ruin's Origin II
The staircases felt endless. At this rate, I would be left with no stamina when I reached the surface.
'I don't want that.'
I did not want to feel helpless once I arrived back at the ruin's surface. There would be a lot of villains waiting for me up there.
Knowing that fact because of my Pathfinding skill, I slowed my pace, which almost looked like a leisurely walk.
Taking deep breaths, I tried to regulate my breathing and conserve my energy as much as possible, this also considering that I was holding Lumi like a princess.
"She's so heavy!"
I was glad she fell asleep and was unconscious right now so she couldn't hear what I just said about her being heavy. If she was to hear it, I did not want to imagine what would happen to me.
Humming while climbing the stairs, I took my time to reach the surface.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I reached the top of the staircase.
