The Author's POV

Chapter 4

"Haaah...."

Letting out a long breath I dazedly stared at the scenery presented before me.

"I expected something out of the norm, but this...."

'Overwhelmed' would be the perfect word to describe the sensation I was feeling at the moment.

A huge towering tree stood in front of me. Its large roots deeply penetrated the hard rock, almost as if it was made of clay, and its lush green leaves made one wonder if there really was no sunlight here.

Right on the top of the tree was a pale red fruit that looked extremely succulent. It resembled a peach, but contrarily to a regular peach, it had a yellow glow enveloping it making it clear that it wasn't just your regular peach that you could get from the supermarket.

Taking a deep breath I looked directly at the fruit that contained the [Seed of limit] with burning desire.

'This is it...once I get my hands on the fruit, my future will change entirely.'

I thought as my eyes couldn't detach themselves from the pale red fruit that sat on top of the tree.

I will no longer be some good-for-nothing author who lazes around his house, raging at his own readers.

No

Instead of writing other's stories, I will be writing my own, and.....

Glancing at the fruit above me, I raise my hand and slowly clench it

"It all starts from that fruit"

...

Getting the fruit wasn't actually that hard.

In the first place, it was supposed to be an accidental find by the protagonist for when he explored the Clayton ridge during his elective. Moreover, if I don't remember incorrectly, I don't think the protagonist even got his hands on the fruit, as by the time he came the only thing he found was the [Seed of limit].

I kind of feel guilty for saying this, but.....

When I was writing this part of the novel, I totally forgot to add a trial.

You know...like the obstacle the protagonist needed to overcome in order to boost his own power.

If this was a typical novel, there should've been a guardian protecting the fruit, or at least some sort of defensive mechanism that made it hard for the protagonist to easily claim the fruit, but...I just couldn't bring myself to write one, as this would've been considered in a certain sense a small upgrade for the protagonist.

The main purpose was to speed up the protagonist's training by removing his limiter, thus I didn't really add any trial. This lazy me did it so that I could finish the novel faster, as at that point I was already bored of the novel.

But now that I am holding the fruit in my hands, I realized how complacent and stupid I was.

I mean, this was a total cheat item!

No wonder the readers started getting mad at me.....

I was totally over-gearing the protagonist. Moreover, the [Seed of limit] was essentially a guaranteed ticket to stardom, as it severed the restraint a human would have on their capabilities.

Actually...that may not necessarily be true.

Although the [Seed of limit] could be considered a cheat item, it wasn't necessarily that overpowered.

Although it removed one's limit, it did not mean that it improved one's talent.

In actuality, a person's talent remains the same, and apart from the fact that one would have no limit and their training speed increased, the [Seed of limit] did not help in regards to actual talent.

For example, if a person who has no talent in regards to fighting suddenly takes the seed of limit, they will not suddenly turn into some sort of god of war. No, if such an item were to actually exist, I might as well just drop the novel and be done with my day.
