A New Character [Honkai Impact 3 X OC]

Chapter 53

— Behind The Scenes —

Author: Ha! Another chapter in the same week!

Narrator: ...Are you okay?

Author: Eh?

Narrator: I mean, you usually spend weeks doing nothing except your assignments and being laz—I mean, productive. So, don't you think it's weird that you're able to upload 2 chapters in a row?

Author: Uh... Did you just say that I was being lazy?

Narrator: What? I said no such thing

Author: ...

Narrator: ...

Author: Anyway, I'm fine. Just feeling a little excited that I continued writing the main story.

Narrator: ...Really?

Author: Yes, really. Trust me

Narrator: ...I see

Author: Good. Huh, but somehow it feels weird that you're quick on trusting—

Narrator: So, you're sick, huh

Author: ...I should've known better

Narrator: Come on, let me make you a cup of tea

Author: Crap, her motherly instinct came back! Uh! Before I fell to her temptation, let me tell you something—

Narrator: Don't bother. So everyone, you can read the chapter now. Happy reading!

Author: N-no! S-stop! D-don't get closer to me, Woman! H-hey! W-what are you—

[???, ???'s POV]

???: "Ugh..."

A painful feeling came from my whole body as my consciousness started to come back.

(What... happened...?)

I tried to open my eyes, and fortunately, it worked.

(...Wha...?)

The first things I saw were chains. A red liquid could be seen slowly yet surely going down the chains.

I tried to move my head around, but it was useless.

(Where... am I?)

A shiver went down my spine as the question returned to my mind.

Am I in danger?

(Am I... going to die?)

*Step* *Step* *Step*

My thoughts stopped as a certain sound entered my ear. As that happened, a certain emotion appeared inside me.

Fear.

I just realized it. In front of me, just a few meters away, a door was there.

But something just passed through it.

A shadow.

I couldn't see the form of the shadow clearly as it was dark around me.

(W-what was that?!)

My heart had started to beat faster before I realized it.

Both of my eyes didn't move even an inch from the door.
