The man untied my hands and feet, allowing me to rise from the chair. I looked at my wrists, reddened with pain from the tightness of their bindings. I turned to the man and demanded to know who he was to kidnap me, and why he was now releasing me. Then he smiled, almost mockingly, and disappeared.

Where are you going!

At least tell me where this is...!

야, 이 개새끼야!!

The man who'd vanished grabbed me by the back of the neck and staggered for a moment. A sigh escaped me as my vision dimmed, and I looked around, hoping for some hint of where I was, but there was none. Surely, a kidnapper wouldn't kidnap me to a place with something like that... All I saw around me were clocks, clocks, clocks—it was enough to make me wonder if I was a clock-obsessed person.

Where the hell is it...

Oh, I'm going crazy and going crazy!!

As I clutched my hair, the distinctive squeak of a door opening pierced my eardrums and reached my cochlea. I turned my head to look in the direction of the sound, and the door was open, revealing a light streaming in. Thinking this was the moment, I hurried to the door.

It was a forest that alternated between dark and light, as if time had been fast-forwarded. I wondered what this was, but I also knew this wasn't an ordinary place. No matter how hard I pushed through the weeds, they kept blocking my path, driving me crazy. As a result, my arms and hands were covered in scars.

Ha... Where the hell is where...

I was already dizzy from the weeds, but the surroundings that had been getting brighter and darker since a while ago made me even more dizzy. I walked and walked, and eventually my legs gave out, so I sat down on the roots under a tree to catch my breath. Damn it, why am I standing here like this? Suddenly, I was overcome with anger, and soon I was startled by a rustling sound. I barely managed to get my trembling legs up, tilting my head from side to side to check, wondering if there was something nearby. Then I saw another man walking toward me, and our eyes met.

I...!

You were here!

I kept looking for it, but I was surprised when it wasn't there.

Go back quickly. It's dangerous here.

... do you know me?

By any chance, have you forgotten me while we were apart?

It's Artemis. Do you remember now?

Ah- Artemis? ...Bloody hell, I wouldn't know. Artemis? Oh, is that a goddess from Greek mythology? But I don't know why that goddess is pretending to know me. In the first place, I couldn't tell if the person in front of me was a quack or a lunatic. Is it normal for a lunatic to be in a strange place? I lied and pretended to remember because I had to get out of this fucking forest.

I was worried because you disappeared after that.

Everyone was confused and had a hard time dealing with the rampaging beasts.

As he finished speaking, a bastard from the right popped out, a bastard with two heads and bloodshot eyes. He seemed momentarily flustered by my screams of surprise, then he took out the bow and arrows he had on his back, aimed, and shot both heads at the same time, killing them.

Go back quickly before any more appear.

Everyone is gathered now at the news that Gaia has returned.

Oh... really?

'What the hell, what the hell is this Gaia thing? I'm Yang Ye-jin!!'

First of all, first of allGet out of here quickly.

As soon as I made it out of the forest, I'd run away from this crazy cult man. I wasn't sure if my trembling legs would hold up, but at least it was better than being captured by him and becoming one of his cult sisters. I followed him, keeping my expression as straight as I could.

_ Writer's Roar _

I kept writing and it kept crashing, and I kept writing and it kept crashing, and eventually I just stopped writing.

I'm really getting excited.

haha.
