His words

Axel hurriedly reached out and opened the book.

"This kid… If you are reading this book, it means I am dead."

Axel stiffened as he read the first sentence.

"I don't want you to be involved. The life of a Challenger is extremely dangerous. I did my best to fight and clear as many dungeon floors as I could. The Tower of Erase hasn't unleashed its terror on the human world yet, but once it does, 70% of the population will be 'erased'."

Erased…?

"I just want you to know this is not the life I wanted for you. I live every day imagining my baby brother graduating from college, living the life of an artist that you always wanted."

Axel's finger subconsciously touched this sentence. A slight, gentle breeze blew on his face. With a snap, a heavy, overwhelming feeling possessed him. Axel looked up in surprise.
