Not sure.

  The smoke is kinda makin it hard to see.

  –Boom…

  Well I can see and hear small explosions so…

  I’m sure they’re doin fiiiiiiiiiiine.

  I circled the hole and descended using the stairs.

  I mean, destiny's one beaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaach after all.

  So it’s fine to throw them a bit early right?

  Makes em stronger too.

  I think.

  This is one long walk down.

  Though I can hear it better.

  The screeches are faint but…

  Eh whatever.

  They’ll be fiiiine. Not like they’re facing somethin that’ll absolutely obliterate em.

  Definitely.

  Totally.

  “Ahem.”

  They're the protag though!

  Protag-kun's always live!

  …M-Mostly.

  They always got that dawg in em!

  Like that guy who was the protag of the squeakal of the og! Turns out he was the final boss, so villain protagonis– I mean! Uh!

  “T-That doesn’t count!” mhm. “Yup.”

  Oh I should see if they’re fine.

  “Hey I think you're doing great with all these explosions!”

  ….

  No response.

  For some reason I feel like they’re cursin me in their head.

  Wonder why.

  Geez this stairway is long.

  And cold.

  Also dark.

  “Maaaaaan fix yo dungeon foo.”

  No aesthetics, no nuttin.

  Thinking back, maaaaaaybe I’m doin a lil too much.

  Naaaaaaaaaah it’s their fault for eating too much.

  “Fatty!”

  My yelling echoed below where the explosions sounded more vivid.

  If they didn’t steal my food I wouldn’t punish– training is always good to get rid of laziness!

  Exactly me.

  Like always, this takes too long.

  Sipping from the cup, I picked up pace.

  Smokes gone at this level.

  The amount of shaking is cr~azy.

  Aight I’m bored.

  “Yippee~!”

  I jumped and fell down.

  Why?

  Thought yourself slick eh?

  Coulda just skipped but had to check.

  Nothin here.

  Nothin for you that is.

  Without the context it’s meaningless.

  Without the dream.

  Without the flaw.

  Without the…

  “I herald THE DREAM!!!!!!!!”

  Because.

  Because.

  Because!

  BECAUSE!!!!

  “THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR!!!!!!!!!! KYAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!”

  THE STAR!!!!

  THE DREAM!!!!!

  THE SELF!!!!!!!!!!

  “The roads end, we end it with the final page. Death.”

  I summoned the sword and gun.

  Smol lookin kid from here. Haha.

  “So go back.”

  No rulebreakers here.

  To the story and time you came.
