" The Soul of the Novel The Traditional Hero Welcomes Author "
A message popped up in front of me but I can't stop playing hide and seek with those bloody wolf like monsters. That Damn old man, I thought he was kidding by saying that he will help me in completing the novel but he actually sent me in novel and the most interesting thing is that he sent me in the worst scene for any newbie to start his journey "The Forbidden forest of Cursed Ruins". I know about it because it is the same as I described in my novel, But why am i here . The Urja or Energy concentration is so high here that it is suffocating to be just here even wild animals muted themselves to keep living. That Damn toothless old man sent me here to die, i will make him pay when I will return to my World. I will never forget his so called GoodBye smile.
I have been running and hiding since last night. I am damn hungry and can't think of anything except running. It is so much dreadful situation that i can't even complain about it loudly. Resting myself on the back of a broken pillar sentence came out from my dry mouth without thinking " How can I get out from this forest ? "
"there are two options." It was a voice more like a whisper but it was clear. ' Am I hallucinating or it is like things happens before someone dies.'
I was planning to ignore it but next line from voice didn't let me ignore it .
" The Soul of Novel The Traditional Hero Welcomes The Author "
Lots of questions was whirling in my mind but only one question squeezed out.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
"What are you ?"
A voice more cheerful than last replied " I am the soul of the novel you created, I am like the essence of the story. My role is to act as a support system for Author till the tutorial end. "
" Well i can understand that much. Now Tell me the options ."
I couldn't help feeling relive.But still this makes me sick.
" Option First - If you will die you will sent to scheduled place of starting of story "
This makes chill run down from my spine. Isn't it just too ridiculous.
" How is that Possible" I couldn't help but yell on her.
Despite my yelling an excited voice came from her mouth -" This is one of the Author Privileges. The Author has three lifelines. One the Author dies, he will be sent back to the last checkpoint. This privilege "Lifeline" is only valid in tutorial mode."
"What will happen after 3 times"
I think I know the answer so i don't want to hear it from her. But i can't stop shivering after hearing " Your existence will be erased from this world as well as original world ".
It sounds ridiculous but I don't want to get out from here by dying.
Understanding my feelings she didn't wait for my words and stated next option.
"Option second - You can use Gates that appear in ruins for random locations in this world "
' Was it really like this in novel that I wrote ?'
Sigh,This is tiring.
"Hey soul, Where and when the Gate appear next"
In a monotone voice, She replied -" 10 Km away in north east direction from here within 7 Days ".
That means I have to survive here 7 days. Tears flowed down from my eyes.That damn old man, how can I survive here ?
"Hey soul , Is there anything edible here ?"
"Within the range of 100 Km nothing is edible except monsters "
"WHAAAT"
