Royal Guards... Royal Guards...
Why join the Royal Guards? I mean—
where the hell ARE they?!
Should I summon her again?...
No i'd be a waste ,
Should i drink it ?! .. teleport potion? it could get me there easily
Aquarine's voice hissed in my memory
"Don't be selfish with your level! You're weak..."
"Did you forget your bones at home?"
"You didn't even unlock Agility or Strength!"
Right. She's right. I'm useless like this..
Agility ? Strength ?..
Gotta level up. First.
and i guess i will do it the hard way..
Let me check the window first

AG. [UNLOCKED] Level 3 Required
SR. [UNLOCKED] Level 3 Required
"So I should reach level 3, huh?But I haven't received a quest in days! Damn it."
"As I was walking aimlessly, a notification suddenly popped up:'Quest 6: Return to Wyrmwood Village.'Return? Why return? It feels like I'm going backwards."
"That system is toying with me however it wants! Damn it!NO, I AIN'T GOING!"
"I'M GOING THE OPPOSITE WAY—DO YOU LIKE THAT, HUH?!BLEEEH! You deserve it, System!"
"Huh, that damned system—what does it think it is?I can't keep obeying that thing that turned my life upside down. Damn it!"
....
"YEAH, EVEN IF YOU'RE SHOWING ME THIS RED SCREEN—MY POINT STANDS!I WON'T GO BACK."
"I was walking straight ahead—the place was completely empty, just nature.
Not a single footprint on the dirt path. Just the sound of leaves whispering like they knew I didn't belong... It had been days since I last encountered a human.What's going on? It feels weird… and scary…"
WHY IS THERE NO ONE?!" I yelled almost everywhere ..
My knees buckled. I laughed into my palms like a maniac, staring at nothing. Even the wind felt like it was mocking me....
AHAHAHAHA… I lost it... I lost it completely
"Wait a minute..." I sat down on a rock and just realized something.In games, when you go against the missions, nothing happens—until you do what they ordered you to.But here... I think it's almost the same.I went against the quest, but...?I'm just walking, searching for... nothing?"
You're right , Julian
I stopped immediately and turned around... like someone had just called my name
W–what? What's that sound?
You're right
Am I hallucinating?!
You are nothing without me... and I am nothing without you.
We are ONE
I wasn't hallucinating…That heavy feeling…That deep, glitchy voice…
it's him
