Leave the Monster alone
Mark's life changed the day someone broke into his clinic to tell him that he had been a character of a video game all along and what he had known till now had been a code decided by the game's system. When he was supposed to die though, an external interference broke the code and he was no longer part of the system. Now as the only external influence inside the code, his existence was an enigma on its own. And his fate was to turn into a monster when the humanity continued to betray him at every corner of the world. 'His nature was gentle and loving to the point of putting himself in danger for those he loved. But betrayal laid everywhere in his new world and he should get used to being used' My twitter: https://twitter.com/ojasvisharma6 Support me on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/daygonyuuki (cover is not mine, I like it but if the maker wants it gone, they can tell me and I'll change)
The way back
"Are you still not done? I'm bored" Mark really wanted to deck the snake hard. Not only was he creating more problems for him but he was also a constant source of irritation and annoyance.
After the first mistake, he should have learned not to touch anything else. The snake had behaved for all of 10 minutes before he had started to complain. Then he had tried to help Mark once again and had broken an important tube.
In the end, Vodi had taken him away from that room, allowing Mark free time to pack. The allotted two hours were already over and Mark was sure there was plenty for them to explore here anyway.
But the pair had returned far too early for his liking, the female's expression telling him that she was fed up with the snake.
At least that was one thing they had in common.
