The Mermaid King rested inside the idol, quietly staring down at the sleeping Josh.
He entered this scenario too early, so early that he was assimilated by the dimensional rules.
He only found out later that only when the resentment in the scenario reached a certain level could it be deemed a scenario and generated in the game.
Only then could Josh possibly enter this scenario.
The divine being led him here, intentionally having him arrive years early, trapped here, as if it was a mistake.
In the endless wait, his resentment towards Josh might grow, just like Code 7's did.
He didn't know if the divine being made a mistake; he only knew that to escape from the scenario, he must be awakened, activate his identity, and use a logic accepted by the dimensional rules to leave the scenario.
And Josh might be the one who could awaken him.
Actually, he didn't know how to awaken himself either.
