My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

36  Chapter 36: You're Welcome

Eren couldn't believe that he had missed the opportunity to ask something so crucial.

He had thought that he could ask the question about Memory Fragment without needing a Question Voucher as this was an ordinary question. All he wanted was to know the usage criteria of his reward.

He didn't know that the meeting was going to be cut so short. Was it because he used the Question Voucher? He wasn't sure.

"I wonder if I will ever get another such opportunity..." He thought to himself, sitting back on the bed, disappointed.

He could only ask one question with the Question Voucher and he chose the question that he thought to be the most useful to him.

It was the safest for him if he could just return to his world. Then, he didn't have to worry about anything related to this world.

Unfortunately, the answer was more disappointing. He was basically told that returning was impossible for him. This was his new home.

"Huh, this?"

His gaze fell on a small envelope that was left on the ground where the unknown person was sitting recently.

Stunned, he walked over and picked up the envelope.

He opened the envelope, noticing a letter neatly kept inside. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He pulled out the letter, wondering if the unknown person had accidentally dropped it.

"There are no accidents." The first line itself mentioned, as if the writer had already expected his question.

"The time was cut short because I had divulged the information which I shouldn't have. And yes, you are to be blamed for that."

"There were so many things that I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't. So I'm leaving this letter behind. Maybe you might find it useful."

Eren kept reading the letter. The words confirmed that it was because he had forced that person to answer that the meeting was cut short.

It also made it evident that the person wasn't the creator of this world. Even he was tied by the rules of this world. He truly wasn't the 'Author'.

"Make sure to burn this letter after you finish reading it. I don't want to get in trouble with 'them' for helping you."

Eren didn't know who this person was talking about. Were there people that he was also scared of? Just what was his identity? What was happening in this world?

"I'm certain that you have many questions. However, you must remember. There are some questions that you will have to find the answer for yourself."

"If you force other people to answer them, it will only become an obstruction in your path."

"If you think that you are living a dangerous life, then remember... This is just the beginning. The world is soon going to enter the era of Chaos."

"How you navigate through that Chaos, it will depend entirely on you."

Eren kept reading through the letter, feeling a headache.

It had only been a few days since he arrived here, and he had almost died multiple times. And this person was saying that this was not even the beginning?

"I believe you have already received a memory fragment. If that's the case, then congratulations. You have received a reward that no other Earthlings have yet..."

"To use that, you must strengthen your mentality. And the only way to do that..."

There were a few blank lines after that point in the letter.

"Seriously, are you trying to create unnecessary suspense?" Eren asked, rolling his eyes.

"Hahaha, if you've read up to this point, I have a feeling that you're quite frustrated?" The letter continued. "Fine. I will tell you."

"The Memory Fragment is a treasure that is something that can kill you if you use it without precautions. It would be a pity if you died, wouldn't it?"

"To use the memory fragment, you need to create a Sea of Consciousness in your heart."

"Most people need to spend decades to reach that point. But I doubt you have that much time. So I will tell you about a shortcut."

"A shortcut? Why is he doing me such a favor?" Eren thought, doubting his intentions.

"I'm sure you are wondering why I'm helping you?" The letter further read.

"This f*cker! This isn't a letter at all! He is actually conversing with me!" Eren exclaimed. How else was it possible that he knew exactly what he was going to ask, and at what point?

"No, I can't read your mind. But you're quite obvious, so I'm somewhat predicting what you'll be thinking. And if I'm right, then I do feel quite proud of myself."

Although these were just words, Eren could see how smug this guy was feeling about himself.

"He's quite smug for someone who was forced out of a meeting by this world." Eren rolled his eyes as he continued reading.

"To create a Sea of Consciousness, there is a shortcut. It's something that only a few people know about. And to achieve that, you need to find the Heart of a Sea Dragon."

"A Sea Dragon? Let alone the fact that I can't defeat something like that, where can I ever find one? There was no mention of it until I stopped reading the novel."

"Are you wondering where you can find one? The answer is in the name itself, idiot."

"The heck, why are you cursing me now? I know I can find the Sea Dragon in the sea, but do you even realize how vast the sea is?! It's bigger than the continent!" Eren fumed in return.

"Since I have helped you so much, I'm sure you are thanking me profusely. You're welcome, young man. It's not often you get to meet someone like me. So you're quite lucky."

"You f*cker, who is thanking you? Your help is no different than telling me that I can never use the Memory Fragment? Even if I search until the end of my lifespan, I can't find the Sea Dragon!"

"Since you're thanking me so much, I will do you one more favor and give you a hint. Don't rely on any patterns from now on. It won't work... So be careful."

"And lastly, the little fairy... She is more useful than you realize. Don't let her die, and one day you will thank your stars. Honestly, I still can't believe you were rewarded with her. What a lucky bastard!"
