self aware reader x Emmet and ingo please part 9 please its been a year now🥲
Hm. It has been a while. I think I got some energy to write a chapter or two. Here's some food for you.
Submas x Self Aware Reader Part 9
Despite how utterly bizarre the situation was, you relished in the comfort that Ingo and Emmet gave to you. They were truly the only people that you could talk to, as every other villager that exists in the game you were a part of, simply don't have the self awareness that you possess. Not knowing how the dark magic of the tome could affect them or the consequences of what might happen, you resist the temptation to make them real...making you all alone in this digital world that was your prison.
Though you were reluctant to reveal this dark truth to the twins, they believed you. During your last meal, you had learned many great things about the twins.
You didn't quite understand all of the details they told you about, but generally speaking the two were a pair of monster tamers. They had many monsters, that all had different names and appearances, and instead of fighting against other humans, they engage in combat with other monsters.
You would consider them to be fools to cherish monsters so brazenly but these monsters weren't like the ones in your world of Moonspire Kingdom. The monsters in your realm exists to provide an enemy for the farmer characters to fight against; pixels on a screen to them but a monster in the flesh to you.
"I need your help," you say gently after the initial excitement of the twins discovering your existence died down.
"Whatever it is, we'll assist you in any way possible," Ingo immediately comments, with a determined look in his eyes.
"Yup! Just tell us what to do!" Emmet immediately chimes in after.
You give the twins a soft smile, before closing your eyes and adjusting your seating posture. "In order for me to escape from this world there are two things we need to do." The twin's posture changes as you do, as the conversation shifts to be more serious. "The quest for the ingredients I need must continue. Among one of the things I urgently need is a specific fish. But it can only be caught in winter..." you give a soft sigh and then continue with your eyes open. "The potion I am making... is invulnerability potion." The twin's expression changes, curious of what you just said.
"Invulnerability?" Emmet asks, tilting his head much like a cat.
"The passage from my world to yours is incredibly dangerous. What you consider to be a game is a complete dimension made for your...amusement. In order to break free from this dimension, I must temporarily be able to distort time, space, and reality." When you raise your hand, the room goes dark. When the twins see you again, they see the enchanted Dark Tome, in your hands and your eyes glowing a ghostly pale light. "This Tome has the spell I require to do it. But I risk permanently dying. The invulnerability potion allows me...two minutes of invulnerability. In that time frame, I must escape to your world or be trapped in limbo, between your dimension and mine."
This makes both twins drop their jaw in shock. "Why only two minutes?!" Ingo then exclaims.
"Because this potion is meant for you," you tell them. This immediately gets their attention. "You as the farmer and monster slayer, would drink a potion as rare as this, to defeat the impossible monsters you dreamed of killing. Potions never last long for you two, don't they?" You said with a sad smile, as you watch both their expressions churn with disbelief.
You were right. Potions that buff a player's abilities would only last for 3 minutes at most, aside from a potion that remedies health or poisons...
You close your eyes, the screen goes black, and then you reappear back as you did before, but the tome is nowhere to be seen.
"Secondly, I require you two to go to the countryside."
"The country?" Both twins ask.
"We need lots of space to build a wall, at least 8 by 8 feet. You will need to draw a rune on a blank wall." With the gesture of the hand, a scroll flies over to you and you show the twins the rune.
"I've seen that before!" Emmet immediately says. "That's the graffiti on the train station. In your world."
"Before the train was made to deliver heroes and cargo, we used the rune as a method of transportation," you explain. "The rune would still work but we need an exit point. That will be your problem to do."
You stop and pause to let this information sink in. "Can you two do this? Will you help me escape?"
You sit there, thinking the twins would reject your plan. But only for a brief moment when you hear them both exclaim. "We can do this!" said Emmet, overlapping Ingo as he said, "We won't let you down."
"My, my. I am so lucky to have such good boys be my savior," you laugh out loud as you slap your knee. "I'd wager it's late for you two both. It is best you go get some sleep. I'll be investigating ways for me to catch the fish we seek."
"Wait, wait-" Emmet yells out.
"Yes, my dear Emmet?"
"What...what is your name, Golden Eye?" Your eyes grow wide at his question. You give him another sad smile.
"I can't remember," you tell him honestly. "I am much too old to bother with my name by this point."
"Oh.." he says softly, like a child discovering something sad for the first time.
"Emmet, Ingo. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow, if you two have the time."
"We'll be back," Ingo says with a caring tone.
"We will!" Emmet chimes in after.
You give them one last smile before cutting the connection.
