Critical

Hello Panda Readers, I just wanted to shout out to those who gifted Pwr-S to the novel. Knowing that humans like my story makes my day. Remember to comment on any questions you have. Tomorrow will be the interview chapter. Depending on how it's liked or not, I might do this once a week. 

Anyway... onto the chapter!

The world was teetering on the brink of an unprecedented crisis. On Earth, the effects of Erisophis' and Casimir's actions were beginning to manifest in alarming and horrifying ways. People who had been playing Morphantasia on the day the crystals cracked were showing critical conditions. Hospitals were flooded with patients who had fallen into deep dazed states, staring into space, their speech trapped in a numeric language that seemed nonsensical yet consistent. Researchers and linguists worldwide were baffled, unable to decode the strange sequences of numbers that the afflicted muttered in their sleep.
