Waking from my deep and restful sleep. I stretched my arms and legs, feeling the satisfying sensation of my muscles waking up. I then opened my eyes and was greeted by darkness as the sun had yet to peak through the curtains. I then took in a deep breath and exhaled, feeling a sense of calmness and contentment wash over me. I could tell it was a good sleep because I felt refreshed and rejuvenated. After being awake for more than twenty-four hours getting a good night's rest was extremely…-

"Is that what we are calling it?" Her melodious voice almost caused my walls to collapse and explain everything to her but I stopped in time. "Tell me, where is it?" I felt her gaze land on me but I knew better than to look back up at her. Thankfully she didn't take too long before snapping her finger. Hearing the sound I looked up and the next second the red mist appeared. But it wasn't like it was before where the mist seemed threatening enough to devour the whole world instead it was reduced to…

Riding up the elevator, I patiently waited for it to come to a stop. The ride was lackluster and uneventful but I never expected there to be anything of significance in the first place. When it came to a stop and the doors opened I quickly made my way out and moved toward my room. Once there I went inside and the very first thing I did was rush into the bathroom to take the shower which I had been so desperately searching for before the incident. Turning on the water I immediately relaxed as I…

Thankfully it seemed that Mr. Griffin was only asking because he was curious and not because he knew something. That meant I could keep the situation under wraps and label it the babbling of a person who went through a traumatic experience. "Red mist, do you really think that I wouldn't have noticed such a phenomenon? I'm afraid Evelyn must have been imagining things." Mr. Griffin rubbed his chin. "I suppose, but one can never be too sure. Are you positive you never saw anything that could be…

In the end, the event wrapped up easily with Mr. Griffin taking charge and shouldering most of the responsibility. It ended with the situation being labeled the Dorm Tragedy where eighteen were confirmed dead and over thirty injured. The nurse that came over to help Paul ended up taking him away to monitor his health. Thankfully he managed to pull through and survive everything that happened. However, he isn't free yet as his injuries were quite extensive. His condition turned critical when they were…

Slicing through the red mist the creature split in half and began breaking apart as it lost its appearance of being a person. I watched this scene closely as I knew the monster would struggle but ultimately it would result in nothing. As the two sections tried to merge the voice of the mist voiced out in laughter. I didn't respond as the monster would soon realize that it already lost. Although it was true that it would be fundamentally impossible for a sword to cut through air, Nightfall was…

Everything that happened that was false occurred the moment I stepped outside of the elevator. I didn't exactly know how it worked but it was clear to me that the red mist is able to manipulate the memories a person has. It a terrifying ability that causes one to fall into despair as they are unable to tell reality from their imagination. I too would have fallen for it's tricked but thankfully the ability was able to save me and prevent my mind from falling to the monster's temptations. I realized…

Zapped forward into the future I watched on in an astral form from the sky down onto my future self. By now I was used to it as I had used the ability a couple of times before however I never got over the feeling of being there to watch myself and not have a physical body. It was something I became used to but could never fully comprehend. Anyways I floated around at the top of the elevator as I watched what happened to my future self. Although I live out the whole hour of the ability, not even a…

Pushing open the door I was immediately enveloped in red. Red, red, red. Everywhere I looked I saw red. Turning back to see if Evelyn was seeing the same thing I was, I realized that she vanished. There was no one behind me. Before I could even react or try to make out what was happening the red started surrounding me. At first, it started light as if the red was just passing by and attaching itself to me, however it quickly became more than that. The red that was able to cover the whole room…

Looking at the crumbled wall that let in fresh rays of sunlight I was incredibly happy. I was thankful that it didn't take too much SP to make it to E rank but I became depressed at the realization of how much it would take to level up high. The amount of SP needed to rise from 3.0 to 4.0 compared to 5.0 to 6.0 was extremely high. That meant that going up one point at a higher rank like S rank would cost over a thousand SP. Being that I had to completely alter the way of the novel to gain over a…
