Victor Van Vicki lowers his glass and gasps… covering his mouth with his hands….
"Fortune Teller..???" Victor whispers in disbelief as his fingers tremble…
"I never heard of that class…. And I lived for over four hundred years…." He adds… his eyes trying to pierce my very soul…
"Times can change…" I try to sound sentimental and true yet my voice cracks a bit indicating my lie….
Victor narrows his eyes….
He gets up from his seat and steps closer to me his posture tense….
In a sudden….
My senses tingle and an unexpected determination washes over me….
I feel a new understanding of my surroundings….
My world sharpening as Victor finally stands in front of me…
It's the Fruit Of Davinci taking effect at last…..
The demon notices my new found temporary critical thinking strengthening….
He sighs…
Then flops back onto his seat… opposite of me….
Victor laughs…. A sound so warm and light….
I get a few goosebumps at this sudden change of attitude…
Yet…
I take this moment as an opportunity and scan his status window….

As I read the stats and scan the levels… Victor notices my attention is on something in front of him…
"So what are you so focused on?" He says while waving his hand around in order to get my attention back to the feast…
"You said that hunger has taken over you… yet here you are so focused on the empty air around us…" he chuckled loudly as he shook his head finding my actions a bit absurd…
I let out an awkward smile….
My eyes still scanning the status window keenly…
Then I call off the window…
Getting back to the multi-dimensional feast and delicacies in front of me…
The Fruit Of Davinci was still in effect…
Thus my mind wandered off endlessly within the field of imagination….
Victor Van Vicki looked at me his features became serious as the abyssal bells rang from far above…
I tilted my head slightly as the sound waves reached my ears….
The bells were undeniably war sirens…
I got up as fast as Victor….
My hands trembling…
why is the novel I wrote speeding up?
The Abyssal attack happened two years after the earth merge…
yet it's happening right now…
~~~~~~~~~~
I used to believe I was a lucky girl….
But life proved me otherwise…
I never managed to achieve my lifelong dream…
I wrote a story and never shared it with anyone…
I am a failure of a writer…
I gave up and became a simple office worker…
My life couldn't become worse…
spoiler…
It did…
Reality merged with my fantasy…
Plunging the world into chaos…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I shook my head…
As I got back to reality or fantasy or whatever it might be…
"an attack within the Abyss?!?" the old dwarf stormed into the dining room his face full of alarm…
"get the rebellion ready!!!!" Victor the demon yelled with determination his eyes indicating he is prepared to face armies…
"it must be UNKNOWN…" I whisper as I regained my calm…
Victor stops mid step and turns back to me…
"I don't trust you fully… you have too many secrets…" he says honestly…
"but I am sure you have enough info to destroy those idiots…" Victor adds with a genuine smile…
"yes I will be your ally during this…" I nod and give him a reassuring thumbs up…
we prepare ourselves well…
then ascend onto the surface…
battle ready…
as our eyes adjust to the Abyss red sky we take in the chaos…
the Abyssal residents fleeing desperately from the attacks…
because not every person who calls the Abyss home is a fighter…
they are just lost souls trapped within this hell…
I know very well the feeling of desperation and nothingness for I am a fellow wandering creature…
my vision lands on the planner and leader of this devastating tragedy…
a tall woman with human like features yet she is far from human….
Wings sprout out of her back…
cyan horns curl out of her light blue hair…
and cyan lizard like scales painting her dark skin in a few patches…
I squint…
yes it's her…
the Queen of UNKNOWN…
Elera
the merciless half dragon…
in which she plans on taking over all the merged realms…
she is one of the first villains in the book I wrote as a teenager…
originally she is training during the first few months of the earth merge…
so…
how is she here?
Joon-ho is supposed to defeat her in a few months and destroy her in the most gruesome way possible…
yet here she is standing in front of me…
killing the innocent…
is it my fault?
Am I the problem of this speeding of the plot?
Who's the real plotter…?
As my thought stream was getting overwhelmed…
Elera flies over to me and chuckles mockingly…
"oh you are that kid's guardian…" she smirks wickedly…
wait does she mean Philip?
I am aware UNKNOWN kidnapped him that's why I am in the abyss…
"did you hurt him…" I shout as anger and worry get the better of me…
"don't worry Jina… he is doing just fine…" she continues "he helped me a ton with my training…" Elera adds…
"bring him now!" I yell as Elera laughs at me…
