The Author's POV

Chapter 311

A book he had never seen before lay on his bed.

"Who put this here?"

Kevin muttered out loud as he turned his head around and once again scanned the whole room from top to bottom.

'...Did anybody come here without my permission?'

He wondered to himself.

Even though he had never seen the book before, the more he stared at it, the more entranced with it he became.

It was as though the book was begging for him to pick it up.

This made Kevin more and more apprehensive about the book. There was something wrong with it,.

Yet.

He took a step forward. Towards the book.

—Gulp!

Stopping right at the edge of his bed, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Ba..dum! Ba..dum! Ba..dum!

Unbeknownst to him, his heart started to beat faster.

It wasn't out of fear nor nervousness, but something different…

Something he couldn't explain.

"Huuu…"

Taking a deep breath, Kevin reached out for the book.

Even though his mind was telling him not to touch the book, his body moved on its own. Refusing to listen to him.

It was as though someone was controlling his body.

His finger soon touched the book, and it was at the exact moment that a static current ran down his body.

"Arrgghhh!"

Pain.

An almost unbearable pain coursed through his brain, threatening to tear it apart.

"Huuueeeaaaaaghhh!"

—Thud!

Falling face-first onto the ground, Kevin directly passed out. The pain was too much for him to handle.

Next to him, the now open red book mysteriously glowed.

As though a breeze of air had entered the room, the pages soon started to flip by themselves.

***

Only darkness enveloped Kevin's thoughts and mind for an unknown period of time.

He couldn't hear, see, or feel anything.

Like when he was travelling through a portal, his mind drifted through an endless void.

"Kevin!"

A faint voice reached Kevin's ears.

It was a familiar voice, one that he had heard not too long ago.

"Kevin!"

The voice once again called out for his name.

This time the voice was a lot clearer.

Kevin's mind slowly cleared up, and he opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a devastatingly beautiful girl looking at him at nose length.

With a small pout, she muttered.

"Geeez, class is about to start; just for how long are you planning on sleeping for?"

"…Emma?"

Kevin blinked a couple of times.

Raising his head, he glanced around. Then, much to his surprise, he found himself inside of the classroom.

He couldn't quite remember what happened before that.

"Strange…"

He muttered as he looked around the classroom.

"What's strange?"

Emma tilted her head.

Her short auburn hair gently fell on her shoulder.

Kevin pointed at the classroom.

"Did we have this many people in our class before?"
