__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Not having many options, Danye decided to just follow the directions of this strange robotic voice.
Although he knew that what had touched his leg earlier was his own tail, he still felt a little apprehensive as he walked through the cave.
As he walked, Danye realized that the place was not very big.
The cave seemed to be square in shape, and from one end to the other, it only took Danye 5 minutes to walk.
On one side of this square, there was a drawing of what seemed to be a 5-meter-tall gate, but it was just a drawing, Danye was locked inside that place.
When Danye arrived in front of the door, he heard the system ringing.

Quest Completed - Do you want to receive the reward immediately?
[Yes] [No]
_________________________________________________________________________
Seeing the two options, Danye placed his finger on the 'Yes' sign.
The next moment, a small sphere of light appeared before Danye's eyes. Startled, he jumped back, but the sphere remained in the same place.
The system's voice rang in Danye's mind.
[DING! - Touch the knowledge fragment to absorb it]
Hesitantly, Danye reached his fingertip toward the orb.
When he touched it, the orb transformed into a stream of light that traveled up Danye's arm to his forehead, and then disappeared.
When the sphere disappeared, Danye felt a little dizzy, his body remained standing, but his mind began to wander.
He saw countless memories of a teenager.
This teenager was sitting in his room in front of his computer reading something on the screen, everything went by extremely quickly, chapter by chapter, the boy would leave the computer and read on his cell phone, then return to the computer some time later.
The details about the boy's life quickly passed before Danye's eyes but were discarded in the same instant. All that mattered were the stories that the boy read.
Danye lost track of how much this boy had already read, but as he grew older, the boy read less and less.
It wasn't that he had less time, or seemed to be doing other things, but the boy seemed to read more and more slowly.
Until then, he stopped in the middle of a particularly interesting chapter.
When the boy closed his eyes, as if to rest a little before continuing his reading, Danye opened his eyes inside the cave.
His eyes were slightly dull when they were opened, but they slowly began to return to normal.
When Danye realized he was back, he felt a headache so bad it felt like it was about to explode.
He fell to his knees on the ground while holding his head and screaming in agony.
2 hours later, the pain went away.
Danye's entire body was wet with sweat and the feeling he felt when the boy closed his eyes was still vivid in his memories.
He remembered everything that happened the night before he came to this world.
The system speaking in his mind and him responding without even paying much attention.
The feeling when he was teleported was the same as the one Danye felt from the boy when he closed his eyes.
Due to the system's mental stabilization, Danye didn't think much about it, although he felt a little uncomfortable, that was all.
With his hands wet with sweat, he got up from the ground, and a message from the system appeared before his eyes.

Danye didn't immediately do what the system asked.
He was still thinking about that boy.
Although the details that weren't related to the stories were quickly discarded, the feelings of that boy's life accompanied him throughout the process.
The body is getting weaker and weaker.
A feeling of helplessness.
And regret.
At the end of it all, that boy was really bothered.
Only at the end of it all, the boy felt bothered by something.
He knew that he wouldn't be able to open his eyes again, and he was very bothered by the fact that he wouldn't be able to finish reading that novel.
For some reason, Danye managed to ignore everything else, but that annoyance continued to disturb his mind even after he returned.
Danye also really wants to know how that story ends.
But there's nothing to be done now.
Danye took a deep breath and decided to follow the system's tasks, thanks to the boy's memories he understood better the situation he found himself in, and apparently, the best thing he can do now is to follow the system's instructions.

The next option was...

Danye was really interested in this option, he felt a little hesitant about the part about being highly influenceable, but if the system can stabilize his mind, maybe it can also help him resist the will of the demon world, right?
And then came the last option...
