Entering the building Samur was astonished as he saw the inside
There were atleast 20 tables and over 50 players, all of them were playing or should I say, gambling
Cling
Tak
Flip
There were so many sounds of coins and cards flipping
The dealers were also fast and swift when they shuffle the cards in their hands
"Wahh, are we gonna play too?!" Samur was so excited that the glistening eyes couldn't be hidden from Eru
Eru answered nonchalantly "Why else would we be here?"
Samur just snickered at this and thought 'So this is what he meant when he said "Gonna earn some coins" huh?'
A person then suddenly approached Samur, he looked down on him as a smirk appeared on his face and said "You seem to be lost kid"
"No."
"I'm here with big brother" Samur said as hooked up his arms on Eru
The man was startled as he looked to the side to see a pair of sharp eyes
He thought 'W-What?! Was he here all along?!'
He then thought of something as he quickly put up his innocent smile and said "Good brother, why did you bring along this kid with you in a place like this-"
"To gamble" Eru interrupted without hesitation
The man seemed to want yo retort more but Eru was not in a mood to explain and so just passed by the man without blinking
Samur smirked as he pulled out his tounge to the man mockingly before following behind Eru
Samur was very excited and thought all of the possible card games he could play
But just then, Eru heard a notification from System1001 and said to Samur "I have something to do, wait"
Eru then walked towards the bathroom and went inside whilst Samur stayed leaning against the door
As he entered, Eru looked up and asked "What is it you want to tell me?"
[T- *Beep* T-There's *Beep* - a prob - *Beep* - lem...*#&#;&*]
Eru furrowed his eyebrows lightly as he heard the unstable words of the system
Just as he was about to open his mouth, the surroundings suddenly shook violently
He thought 'Earthquake? No, it's not...then-'
His vision suddenly turned black in a flash and the last thing he heard was
[I'm-*Beep* -so...rry...]

Opening his eyes, he was met with a unfamiliar- no, it wasn't unfamiliar, it was something he knows very well that made him speechless
He sat up realizing he was lying on a bed, as he looked around he thought 'This is...my room...'
To put it clearly, it was his room from the real world
He stood up and walked towards the window, as he looked outside, he saw a plain and clear city
It was peaceful
He didn't notice it but his hands slightly trembled, he opened and closed his mouth several times before finally able to speak
"Hey...are you, there...?"
He asked waiting for the System1001 or the man in smiling mask to answer him and show up
But after minutes later, no one answered or showed up.
He then thought of something and pulled out his phone from his coat pocket
As he searched, his finger pressing on the phone froze
His novel [Abyss] wasn't there anymore.
'Why...?'
'What is...going on...?'
For the first time, Eru felt uneasy in his heart as he stared out the window
Whoosh
There was only the sound of gust of wind
Eru only stood in one place, frozen...
The sunset shone and hit the blue sapphire earrings making it reflected light
Slowly as if in slow motion, his hand that was holding the phone fell down
The phone also slipped from it as it fell to the ground
Written on the screen of the phone...
...was something he never expected to see.

"Ah..."
Samur blinked several times, his heart made several sounds of 'thump'
He didn't know what it is but...
He felt as if a string was just cut and his heart suddenly became empty
Gulping down nervously, he turned around and held the door handle of the bathroom
His eyes were shaking and widened
Opening the door, he didn't found any person there.
Standing frozen in place, Samur's hair slowly flattered as he said in a shaking voice-

- "Eru...?"
