( Silvie's POV)
The quill had struck my forehead.
I expected pain. I expected death.
Instead, I felt... wet.
My eyes snapped open. The apartment was gone. Miki was gone. The Goddess was gone.
I was sinking into an endless, dark blue ocean.
There was no surface above me, no light below me. Just infinite, crushing pressure. My mouth opened to scream, but water rushed in, choking me. It tasted like ink.
'The Goddess...' My thoughts were sluggish, heavy.
She hadn't just attacked me. She had rewritten the scene. She had decided, "The Anomaly drowns," and the world had simply obeyed.
I tried to swim, but my limbs felt like lead. My stats didn't exist here. My [Rapier Arts] were useless against the ocean. I was just a character in a book, and the author had decided to close the cover.
'She is really powerful... I couldn't even do anything.'
I drifted deeper, the darkness pressing against my eyes. The ink was filling my lungs, erasing my breath, erasing my name.
