Chapter 4 - Alice, The Bondage

Author checked the apps on her phone, she found that other than the downloaded apps like [Character], [Nightmares], [Armor], and [Weapon], the other apps were normal.

"So if I encounter other Nightmares, will the app update itself? Will it affect the capacity?"- Author

"No effect, there is almost no capacity limit"- Alice

"Is that so? But wait!? Why are you following me? Outsiders will see you as a weirdo in cosplay!"- Author

"You don't need to worry about that. In the normal world, only you can see and touch me, even though no one can see me, I can still affect everything around me if I concentrate"- Alice

Alice, the main character in Alice in Wonderland, was created by a British author with the pen name Lewis Carroll. The story is about a little girl named Alice chasing a strange white rabbit and falling down a rabbit hole, so Alice has an adventure in a world called Wonderland.

"Hey Alice, you said you can affect anything right? Like what?"- Author

"Like this"- Alice

After saying that, Alice immediately kicked a super expensive car, causing it to fly away, the passersby including Author were all shocked by this scene. Immediately, Author grabbed Alice's hand and ran away before the car owner discovered it.

Running quickly to school, she and Alice went to the school's backyard, Author took a breath and turned to question Alice.

"Are you crazy? What's wrong with you?"- Author

"Well, you said you wanted me to prove it, so I did it"- Alice

"But that's not it! No, that's not right, in general, don't do such unnatural and unphysical things. Otherwise, I'll get in trouble"- Author

"If Author says so, I won't do it anymore"- Alice

The bell for class had rung, during class, the teacher was lecturing in class while the students were taking notes. Occasionally, she glanced around to see if anyone in the class had a strange phenomenon before continuing to take notes. Alice was nowhere to be seen, as if hoping not to cause any trouble.

On the school rooftop, Alice blankly looked at the blue sky and white clouds, she took a deep breath to feel the atmosphere.

"It's been a long time since I noticed the sky was such a beautiful green. I don't remember how long I've been asleep, my memories are too vague. The person I need to protect now is Author, only she can give me a happy ending in my story. Surely the others will come to Author soon" - Alice thought

Then she looked down towards the classroom where Author was in class, occasionally reaching into the desk drawer to use her phone.

After the hours of studying at school, it was club time, but there was something very strange.

"Hey! Hurry up and play your role carefully. As a supporting character, fulfill your role!"

"Here she goes again, she's causing trouble for the others"

"Every time, she insists on being the main character and then forcing others to play supporting roles. It's like the whole stage is hers"

The person the students are talking about is Mary, after escaping from that parallel world, it seems like she has no memory of what happened.

Even letting Author fall into the abyss. All in order to hide the existence of the parallel world, unrelated people are forced to have what happened erased. That's to ensure that no one knows about the existence of that world.

Back in the present, Author doesn't understand Mary very well. She only knows that her parents once stood on a big stage under the spotlight, performing in front of so many people is what she is most proud of about her own family. That's why she looks down on others, but she herself plays her role even worse than those who play supporting roles.

"I can't concentrate if I have to act with a bunch of incompetents. Isn't there anyone better in this club?"- Mary

The members were all silent, not wanting to answer, because Mary would definitely loudly refute the advice, so they would rather ignore it. Mary looked around and saw no one answering the question, feeling offended, she noticed Author was sitting alone, with her intuition Mary could definitely guess that it would be a supporting role that would make her shine.

"Hey, do you want to try acting?"- Mary

Author looked up at Mary, she was looking her up and down with a friendly smile but behind that smile was a disdainful expression, it seemed like no one in the club could act with her anymore. Author wanted to refuse but if she did, Mary would definitely whine in all sorts of ways to entice her just like how she almost enticed Author to go out at night.

"The club's performance is "The Story of the Blood Flower", a story about a beautiful and virtuous princess, loved by the people of the kingdom. On her 16th birthday, she received a mysterious flower from a stranger, the stranger said that when the flower blooms, it will grant her any wish as long as she watered it with the blood of living people. So the princess listened to that stranger and watered the flower with blood every day. As time passed, the more blood the princess watered, the flower grew bigger, although many people advised and stopped her, the princess still did not listen. When each time she watered the flower, many people were brought out to become water for the flower. Until one day, the flower finally bloomed, but due to the princess's cruel actions, the princess could not receive her wish and had to accept an eternal sleep. And the once bustling kingdom was now covered with red and thorny flowers forever after."

In general, because of the princess's selfishness and stupidity, she not only harmed herself but also the kingdom. Actually, the princess in the story is quite similar to Mary, only wanting to benefit herself.

Wearing a black cloak, Author plays the role of a stranger giving a flower to the princess (Mary). Reading through the dialogue, she saw that it was full of red crosses edited by Mary herself, but she felt that the dialogue was too sentimental and exaggerated. It was almost all praising the princess's beauty.

"Mary-san, may I ask? Why did you change the lines so differently from the original?"- Author

"Do you have a problem with the editing? The story is about the princess, only the princess. The rest are all supporting actors, so why should you pay attention?"- Mary

"That's the problem. If the story has strangers, including the villagers and servants, all contribute to making the story better. If the princess keeps taking up one scene after another, it will make the audience feel like it's not interesting."- Author

"No need to say much, I've edited it like this, so just follow it!"- Mary

Mary is truly a terrible moderator. During rehearsals, she constantly pointed out Author's mistakes and even blamed her for not acting properly. But she just ignored her words and acted according to her role. When the club time was over, everyone left without paying attention to Mary's resentment.

The author sat on the school rooftop, glancing at her phone to check all the items in the game, but there were some things that didn't show up at all, just blank white. She let out a small sigh.

"I don't understand any of this. Without a guide, how am I supposed to know what they are?"- Author

"It's simple. Let me explain, [Nightmares] you've seen them, they are dark creatures from within humans, when the mind is covered with negative emotions, the heart will give birth to monsters called Nightmares. [Armor] and [Weapon], are simply weapons that help us become stronger, but right now we only have A and S-level items, if you want SR-level items, it's very difficult to get them"- Alice

"So how do we get them?"- Author

"Search for them, they are all stored in books called Grimoire that only exist in parallel worlds. They mostly appear randomly and not in order. To get them, you have to use your vision to find them"- Alice

"Ugh, that's too troublesome. I'm not adventurer type"- Author

"Author, get ready"- Alice

"Ready for what?"- Author

"It's here!"- Alice

Suddenly everything shook violently, the sky turned yellow and dusty, the concrete floor of the rooftop began to crack. Alice picked up Author and jumped off the rooftop, landed on another building and slid straight down to the ground.

Author was surprised because she was once again in a parallel world, a different but ruined world. She checked her phone in her hand and saw an app warning, [Nightmares].

"There's a danger signal coming this way. What should we do?"- Author

"Normally, I would act and fight myself, but now the one giving the order to [Character] is you. The top priority is to protect Author, no matter how many times I get killed"- Alice

A giant greatsword appeared next to Alice.

In front of the two girls was a group of monsters with heads covered with thorny roses, those thorns stuck into the flesh causing blood to flow out continuously, and they also let out painful groans, creating a horrifying scene. They limped towards the two of them and rushed forward like crazy.

"Author, quickly find the location of that leader [Nightmares]. Just find the leader and the ones that follow will all die" - Alice

Alice held the greatsword and swung it up, slashing those [Nightmares], even though the greatsword was very large and heavy compared to the girl's body. As Alice used it normally, the more she slashed those [Nightmares], the more blood splattered everywhere, accompanied by painful screams.

Author was trembling in fear at the bloody battle scene, when her phone rang, attracting her attention. A message popped up with a short line of text.
