The Author's POV

Chapter 399

"This can't be…"

I took deep breaths, trying to calm my mind. But it was all for naught as I struggled to breathe properly.

I was suffocating.

"Haaa…haaa…"

I took a couple more breaths in hopes of trying to calm myself down. Fortunately, this time it worked as my nerves quickly calmed.

'Get it together.'

Closing my eyes and taking another deep breath, I muttered inside of my mind.

'Status.'

Nothing.

My heart rate quickened.

'Status.'

I muttered once again.

Nothing.

Biting my lips I tried channeling my mana.

'Perhaps this might work.'

Again, nothing.

"Huuuu."

Anxiety suddenly struck me as my tows curled inwardly. My teeth started to chatter, and my eyes darted all over the room.

I was inside of a single bedroom appartment. It was a familiar place. One that I remember seeing in my memories and living in for over thirty-two years of my life.

A place that I thought I would never get to see again. My stomach churne .

'It…can't be…'

My head was numb.

Lowering my head and staring at my hands, the truth finally dawned on me.

I was back in my own world.

'No, no, no.'

I repeatedly muttered inside of my mind.

Denial.

I was in complete denial.

It couldn't be.

How could I have possibly come back here? Was everything I went through a lie?...Was everything really just a sick dream?

"Impossible!"

I shouted at the top of my lungs.

There was simply no way! Everything felt so clear. No one way did I want to believe that everything I had been through was a dream!

'Wait, what if this is all an illusion?'

Now that I thought about it, all of this happened as soon as I touched the red book. What if this scenario was merely an illusion I was trapped in?

Yes, it had to be that. I deluded myself.

'There must be something more about this situation than I'm making out.'

Staring at my desk in the distance, hope rekindled in my eyes.

"Ughh!"

I tried to sit up straight, but...

Breathing heavily, I stared at the white ceiling of the room.
