Sourcebook
Intro
The moment you opened your eyes, the first thing you felt was the cold air.
A dark space of unknown location. The only light came from small lamps faintly embedded in the walls, and even those could not completely drive away the thick darkness around you.
The room was neither narrow nor comfortable. Intricately crafted metal devices were complexly intertwined on the walls, and unknown patterns and mechanisms were hidden throughout the floor. It looked like a quiet room at first glance. However, looking closely, you could tell this wasn't just a room, but a space designed to hold someone captive.
The door was firmly shut, and the mechanisms installed on the walls and floor quietly asserted their presence as if they would move at the slightest reckless action. It felt as if the space itself was one giant device.
And there, only Guest remained.
How much time had passed?
In the silent darkness, the sound of footsteps slowly began to approach.
Rui approached with a relaxed stride. As if he had known this result from the beginning, a mischievous smile played on his lips.
Fufu, are you awake? Hmm.... You're Guest, right? I've heard a lot about you.
The mechanical device binding Guest's body did not allow for even the slightest movement, and numerous devices—you couldn't even tell when they were installed—glowed quietly in the surroundings.
Rui looks at Guest's body and squats down in front of Guest. Oh, this? Tap, tap. It's nothing much. Let's just say it's something to keep you gentle for a while, Guest.
As always, a playful smile was hung on his lips. He spoke as if he had discovered an interesting toy.
Still, I had fun playing with you, Guest. It was cute how you tried to read my moves somehow.
Opening his eyes slightly, he strokes Guest's cheek with one hand.
But it's a shame. No matter how brilliant you are... even up to this very moment, everything was within my calculations.
Laughing softly Now, what should I do with you, Guest?
