車子停在路邊,我們卸下所有行李。我的朋友微笑著說,我們已經到了。
公寓門前有一棵樹。雖然還是冬天,樹卻早已發芽。陽光透過很密集的樹枝,照在大門門框。我停靠在門邊,看著順房子延伸下去的街景。
“還不進去嗎?”
我將行李拉進大門。破舊的公寓和外表繁華的都市比起來,更有一種親切感。
“在這里應該很安全。”他說道。
“但愿。”
我們的房間在四樓。光線剛好透過窗戶,發芽樹枝的影子清晰可見。不久后,也會遮擋住陽光吧。
卓越市區邊界。
比起上層的空中通道和高樓,在發展的城市底還留有過去的痕跡。
這里還能找到一些21世紀初的老樓,雖然大部分已經破損。房間很干凈,406號。
都拾好后,他將折疊沙發展開在客廳。不像現在的樓房,這個客廳沒有任何不必要的裝飾。
“之后…”
“樓下還有一間空房,在街角那。那間也是我們的,還包括半個二樓。”
“我記得那以前是個酒吧。”
“現在都沒人來了。老板在上個月被一個歹徒擊斃。”
“在外面?”
“嗯。”
我們準備下樓。公寓里住人甚少。朋友說,他們基本上都離死不遠了,我們也一樣。
三個月后,我們已經將街道路口的空房裝修成一個新的酒吧。為了安全,我們在燈里裝了個電極閃光彈。
“它看起來還是很舊。”
“沒必要太新。”
“可你以前在以太市區的房子是相當華麗。”
“那不是我干的。”
他沉默許久,隨后將剩余的酒瓶擺在架子上。
“抱歉。”
“……”
破舊的木質家具攤在屋子周圍。我們放了一些陷阱。我們還分別在壁爐和樓梯后布置了密道。
一開始他還建議我在樓上,但是想了想還是這里比較安全。有時酒吧會進來一些人,醉酒后離去。朋友將剩下的杯子洗好擦亮,我則在一旁坐著,觀賞外面風景。
行人走過,默默無聞。
過了一陣,朋友買了個紅木底沙發,橫跨在室內。我每天都會趴在那,玩弄一些破電子設備。
當然,我不會告訴他我在做炸彈。

The world traveler from the future
The world, under the guide of the System, was prospering. The Dungeons gifted untold riches to those brave enough to challenge them, and the System watched and helped those who were willing to complete its Quests. But not Charles. As soon as he appeared inside a dark cave, the system told him that he was an anomaly, that he was not worthy of its gifts. His mind was damaged. His AI companion was convinced that he was in a world of sword and magic. All around, schemers and manipulators tried to play their part in a story that was thousands of years old. Spanning entire planes and worlds. And yet, he only saw what he wanted to see. For a while, it worked. Slowly, but inevitably, it became impossible. The threat was too big to ignore, the evidence too strong. He was just a pawn in a game so large that it was impossible to comprehend. At its center, the System. The System was not what it seemed. It was a tyrant, or maybe just a tool created by someone or something so powerful that it could control entire worlds. And it had declared him its enemy. Many thanks to Damiano, who helps with the world building and the character building. Many thanks to Fuyu Dust for the cover art. One new chapter every Friday.

Game Dungeon
A recently deceased man finds himself imprisoned in a prismatic gem, confused and missing pieces of his memory he wishes to play video games, but to his horror, he is stuck in a world of sword and magic. Hello! I am the writer of Game Dungeon thanks for your feedback! Although my intentions were not to insult the reader I can see how someone would think that way. I have no plans to change it as of now and it's better to put it out there as a warning that I use a lot of words with similar meanings but are used very irregularly. Honestly speaking my English teacher was weird and a lot of words I use are more complicated than they need to be, but again something I was drilled into was not reusing words apart from "I".
