2 – starting point(1)

“… … .”

I see an unfamiliar ceiling.

I woke up feeling the unnecessarily soft feel of the bed on my back.

Leaning against the back of the bed, I looked around the room.

It’s a surprisingly unobtrusive room.

There was no special furniture, the only thing that drew attention was the large window next to the bed.

Through the window, where the warm sunlight came in, I could see a huge bush of white flowers. I didn’t feel very stuffy because of the distance.

After looking around the room, I briefly traced the situation before I opened my eyes here.

one. A question from the creator that popped up like an Easter egg.

two. Responding to questions with imperfect reason.

three. My eyesight was dark.

“When I woke up, I was here.”

After spitting out the words, I moved my excessively thin hand and touched the neckline.

When I first opened my eyes, the swearing that came out as a reflex. There, I had to hear the profound voice of a man whose ears seemed to melt.

It didn’t take long to realize that it was the sound that came out of my mouth, but the embarrassment didn’t change.

It’s still awkward even now.

“Whoa.”

He let out a short breath.

It was good that the limbs were intact, but this body. It seems there is a bit of a problem. First of all, it is very difficult to breathe. Also, the drowsiness did not go away, as if I had been drugged.

―Do you have the confidence to complete a story that satisfies you?

The producer’s question passed through my mind as I leaned against the backrest of the bed for a moment in the drowsiness that spread through my body like poison.

“Tsk.”

My limbs are still heavy and my body refuses to get out of bed. However, as long as the nerves are connected, it is impossible to ignore the commands from the brain.

My body must have accepted my will to move, and my limbs, which had been clumsy, began to speed up a little.

The more you move, the more tired your body becomes. However, my limbs, which gained speed, moved without rest.

I got out of bed and stood in front of a sunny window.

There is no mirror in this room, so it was the reason I tried to check ‘me’ through the window. And I saw through the window that I was wearing stupid glasses.

Round glasses with a whirlwind drawn on opaque glass that could only come out of a cartoon.

I was writing that now.

“… … There must be a reason.”

The reason why you have to wear these stupid glasses.

I took off my glasses to see why.

“Kuh… … .”

As soon as the glasses came off, the field of view completely changed. Perhaps because of the shock, a rather terrible pain came from both eyes, and I closed my eyes without realizing it.

“Tsk.”

Like a habit, he clicked his tongue and rubbed the two throbbing snowballs.

‘grey… … and cracks.’

The moment I took off my glasses, my vision turned gray, and I could see cracks all over the place.

I decided not to think too deeply.

After the eye pain went away, I put my glasses back on. I don’t want to write, but if I don’t, I can’t see, so I have to write.

“You’re dry.”

It was the first thought that came to my mind when I saw my reflection in the window.

tall and broad shoulders. Considering that I have broad shoulders compared to being skinny, I just think that the skeleton itself is in good shape.

His nose was sharp and his lips looked a bit cool.

Seeing as I think he’s quite worth looking at even though he’s wearing stupid glasses, the character I’ve possessed must be a pretty handsome guy.

‘Even though his voice was different.’

Better to be handsome than ugly.

But I’m not here to enjoy a second life.

Awakeners, monsters, gods.

In order to create the ending I want in this world that smells of blood, it is much better to be an ugly man with limbs intact and healthy than a handsome man with a disease.

‘It’s still too early to judge.’

I could look around the room some more, but I decided not to.

If it’s true that the producer sent me here, and if it wasn’t for being mean, I’d have left a note or something that might be helpful.

‘There is nothing within sight.’

The only furniture in the room is a bed.

If you leave the room and can’t find anything, then you can come back and look under the bed or the mat, etc.

“Whoa.”

I took a deep breath and moved my heavy legs toward the door.

‘Did it look spacious because there was no furniture?’

The distance from the window to the door was much shorter than I thought. In reality, it would be uncomfortable if the room was small, but I thought it was a very good room considering my current physical condition.

Click.

pushed the door Fortunately, unlike the old appearance, the door was pushed smoothly without making a sound, as if it was well oiled.

“Is it the study?”

My expectations of a hallway or a living room were slightly off. However, it is a pleasant deviation.

“Looks like you still have a conscience.”

I found a large glass case lying on the desk in the study and walked towards it.

“It’s a letter.”

Inside the glass case, there were five beads smaller than a thumb at a distance, and all five of them were shining brightly in blue.

Outside the case, as I just said, there was an envelope with a letter on it.

“… … Not even the Middle Ages.”

A sealing thread made of red beeswax was attached to the stationery.

I applied moderate force to remove the wax, took out a neatly folded letter from the envelope, and unfolded it.

『I don’t think anyone will read this letter.

But if my expectations are broken and I tell the nameless person reading this right now. What a crazy man. Or a year.”

“Cough, Cough!!”

My body was sick, so I couldn’t even get angry properly, so only a cough broke out in my boiling chest.

I calmed down and read the text again.

“It’s a compliment, so don’t be too offended. And it’s not like you can do anything about me just because you’re hurt. I’m saying don’t overwork your body like an idiot for no reason.”

I felt it from the moment I opened my eyes, but it seems that there is something wrong with this body.

『Also, I didn’t write down how to return to the original dimension, so don’t expect too much. Because when expectations are high, disappointment comes back double.”

“… … .”

To be honest, I was expecting a bit.

Too often, in the original world, you don’t even know your parents’ faces, and there are no people you can call friends. But there was only one thing that left me with regret.

It was money.

‘what… … Is it okay?’

I don’t think it’s a part to worry about in a situation where you don’t know what happened to my body.

‘It doesn’t matter where the money goes.’

I read the text again.

“And I hope you’re not an idiot who thinks you might be able to go back when you die. If you’re reading this letter, it must mean that you’ve read every single question I’ve posed. Write again just in case.

Death is the end.』

―If you fail, you lose everything… .

It seems that life was included in it.

“There is nothing less. The things you want to know will be solved naturally if you eat the essence in the glass case.”

Five shining blue marbles.

『What is contained in the essence is the memory of the existence of ‘I’ who is writing this. And it is the memory of the existence of ‘you’ who is reading this.”

I wondered what was inside this shiny thing…

When I read something like a novel, the memory of the character possessed comes naturally, but I wondered why there was no such thing, and I thought it was made so that I could acquire it this way.

“Eat one from the left. If you eat it, you will naturally learn how to use that body along with your memory. However, there is a high possibility that the personality of the ‘original’ you who is reading this will change into a blur. There won’t be confusion in your memory, but if your personality becomes blurred, you will be closer to me writing this article than you originally are. This part is a problem that I can’t do anything about, so if you want to curse, curse.

“This dog… Coke!!”

『Of course, it will be difficult when you are just awake.』

“… … Whoa.”

He exhaled and inhaled repeatedly to calm his stomach.

After repeating it a couple of times, I felt it calm down a bit.

『You are free to eat it or not eat it. I will not force you. There is no need to worry as the trashy body will gradually recover over time. After your body recovers, you will be able to roughly learn how to handle power. but.”

“You’re going to waste that much time.”

“You will waste your time… damn it.”

Again, I am not here to enjoy a second life.

It looks like there are options, but in reality there was only one I could choose.

『Lastly, I would like to ask you not to take off your glasses until your body is fully recovered. If you took it off before reading this, I’m sorry. It must have been quite painful. Consider that you have learned the lesson that excessive curiosity is poison.”

“… … .”

Unknowingly, I crumpled the letter I was holding in my hand.

“If I had taken off my glasses, I would have seen it. A gray and cracked world. Don’t expect it. There is no such thing as special ability. It’s just that your eyeballs are broken and you look like that.”

I read the last line, barely resisting the will to crumple the letter.

“For the last one, it would be better to use plausible words. Because that’s what it looks like.”

“under… … .”

Unknowingly, I laughed.

“Someone whose face and name are unknown. You don’t know what ending you want. But I will cheer you on. The reason you are reading this is because I believe that the ending you want will not be very different from mine. Cheer up.』

The letter ended there.

I pressed the slightly wrinkled part to straighten it, then folded it into the original shape and put it inside the envelope.

“I mean eat this.”

Five essences shining in the case.

They say that if I eat all of that, there is a high probability that my personality will be blurred.

Click.

“What does it matter?”

When I first opened my eyes, I was a little taken aback. I won’t deny that. However, after reading the letter, my heart is firm now.

‘never.’

Regardless of the means and methods, I will meet the ending I want.

opened the case

**

exactly five days.

Having swallowed all the essence, I learned a very shocking fact.

“I am the culprit… … .”
