Chapter 136: The Mysterious Man
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mike did not quite understand what the mysterious man was talking about.
“What do you mean?”
“You really have no imagination. Do you usually watch sci-fi movies?”
Mike Thought for a moment and shook his head. He was not interested in sci-fi.
“No, what does it have to do with this?”
“Of course there is. In the world of sci-fi, there is such an illusion of the future. It is the brain in a vat, which stores the human brain in a container.
In this state, the person is still alive, because the brain still has the consciousness of the person, and it is still alive.
In this case, the person needs to rely on equipment for all life support. In this person’s consciousness, he is not living in the equipment, but in the real world.”
What the mysterious person said was a classic science fiction theme, and this theme, which originated from the illusion of the future, could be seen with the continuous development of technology, there was already hope to realize it.
It was believed that in another few decades, or even one or two hundred years, this kind of technology might really be able to be realized.
Although it was a classic theme that had appeared in many sci-fi novels or movies, it was quite novel to outsiders like Mike.
“How did he do it?”
Unknowingly, the topic changed again. Although there was a reason behind the mysterious man’s introduction this time, the person who actually changed the topic was Mike himself.
“Using a supercomputer to release false information to the brain and create virtual reality. As a boy, you should have heard this before, right? The same situation seems to have been experimented on now.

However, that is to insert a tube into the spinal cord to connect the brain nerves, but some of the principles are still the same.
In short, the scenes that you are seeing now that are so real are actually just computer simulations.”
With the mysterious man’s explanation, Mike had a rough idea of what the man meant by ‘brain in a vat’.
How should he put it? If all of this was real, it was indeed hard to accept.
“… then can all of this still be considered real?”
“That depends on you. I enjoy it. Even if it’s fake, the feeling it gives me is real. Then I’ll just treat it as real.”
The mysterious man’s free and easy-going nature was something Mike could not imagine.
This was also a very normal thing. People could not understand each other.
Looking at Mike, who was constantly thinking about whether the world was real or not, the mysterious man smiled slightly.
“Speaking of which, it seems to be coming.”
The mysterious man’s words were very light. Mike did not hear what he was saying clearly.
“What?”Mike raised his head in confusion and looked at the mysterious man. He asked in puzzlement, “did you say something just now?”
At this moment, the entire corridor underwent a terrifying change. All kinds of stains began to appear on the walls and floors of the corridor. At the same time, a particularly unpleasant and pungent smell was transmitted to Flanders’s nose.
The sudden change made Mike Panic. He cried out in fear, venting the anger in his heart:
“What is all this?!”
What made his scalp tingle the most was the shape of these stains, which looked like footprints and handprints. It looked as if there were many people walking around.
The sunlight outside the window dimmed at this moment. Sensing the changes outside the window, Mike quickly turned his head to look.

He saw the sun disappear in an instant. It became pitch black outside the window, and it was still getting darker.
The color of the world outside the window was disappearing. When the familiar pitch black covered the glass again, Mike trembled and retreated frantically.
He retreated all the way to the wall.
“I must be dreaming, right?”
Beside him, the mysterious man who was enjoying Mike’s reaction smiled slightly. Compared to Mike’s fear, he seemed to be at ease. He did not feel uncomfortable walking on these stains at all.
“I don’t know if you’re dreaming or not. I only know that if you don’t start running, you’ll be killed. Whether it’s in this world or the real world, you won’t be there.”
“You mean… I’ll die?”
In an instant, Mike understood something and stared at the mysterious man.
“Isn’t this a dream?”
“I told you, this can be a dream or it can be real.”
“I’m leaving first.”
“Wait for me!”
Mike reached out his hand to stop the mysterious man, but at this moment, an arm suddenly stretched out from the wall behind him. The arm was wrapped in black hair and looked very terrifying.

“Ahhhh–”
Looking at his arm that was grabbed, Mike let out a sharp and ear-piercing voice that was as sharp as a woman’s.
The mysterious man waved his hand at Mike and said a simple goodbye.
“I wish you good luck. If you can’t survive here, you won’t be able to become my classmate.”
Hearing this, how could Mike not know that the other party had never been a madman, but just a normal person.
The only difference between the other party and him was the difference in information.
The other party held many secrets that he did not know.
“You really know something.”
Mike used a very certain tone when he asked this question. It could be seen that Mike was not a fool.
The mysterious person also knew this. He smiled slightly. There was a hint of strangeness in his smile, and his tone was filled with anticipation.
“If you want to know, then do your best to survive. I hope I can see you again in the future.”
As he spoke, under Mike’s desperate gaze, the mysterious man’s figure disappeared into the darkness. Only Mike was left struggling in the terrifying corridor.
“Damn it!”
…
“I hope you will like the entrance ceremony I prepared for you.”
The mysterious man who had disappeared reappeared. He stood in the golden paddy field and looked at the situation inside the school.
At this moment, there was at least one student on each floor, running in the corridor with a terrified expression.
“Hehe, as the first batch of students in this school, I have high hopes for all of you. Hahahaha.”
The mysterious man’s laughter became more and more abandoned, and his voice also changed at this moment.
Disguise removed.
The flesh and blood began to melt and disappear like snow, and the truth hidden under the flesh and blood were all exposed at this moment.
The mysterious man disappeared and was replaced by a scarecrow.
From the beginning, there was no mysterious man, only the scarecrow, Flanders.

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.

The Simulacrum of Dread
The entities known as the Beings of Old have long since staked claims to most of that gem-shaped manifold which is existence. Their alien, furtive, and impenetrably distant politicking has ebbed and flowed throughout past ages, beyond the awareness of most thinking creatures… and recently, it has begun to accelerate. For Sebastio Artaxerxes - and many civilians outside reality’s facets, especially in the transcendent city of Rhaagm - interest in such matters becomes far more pressing after a madman decides to claim a relic of one of the Olds. Sebastio’s demons tell him that fighting the man he once called friend will only end in tears. His soul tells him that tears are only shed by the living, and that the living at least may overcome regrets with time and effort.
