Expressionless Awakener

Chapter 37: Sleep-Paralysis

[ Expressionless Awakener ]

'Wait...Did I even eat lunch today...?'
My stomach grumbled after thinking that.

'...'
'Welp, Now I know.'

The arena is always filled with a peaceful atmosphere, and color-like hues that reflected the sun.
It's been like that ever since the creation of this building.

I guess thats how the novel described it.. Despite having its controversies in the story.

'Well, that includes the puzzling story settings I guess.'

I stood blankly as the wind gently touched my neck.
The wind flowed through my hair as it swayed slowly.

'....Why does it feel like this place is as more peaceful than the last time I came here...?'

'...'
'.....'
'Oh..'

I continued to daze as the random tumbleweed that came out of nowhere appeared on the sand rolling.

'....'
'......Why.......'

'IS NOBODY HERE-???!!!!!' I thought as realization instantly hit me.

'Am i the only person in this arena..!? Did I go inside a mysterious portal by mistake!? DID EVERYONE LEFT ME-!!?'

'....'
'....YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!!!' I thought as I felt my realization hit me once more.. Giving me slight panic.

I breathed relentlessly as I tried to calm myself.

Then suddenly, My stomach grumbled again.

'........'
'...Ugh.... what Am I supposed to do now...?' I stood frustrated on the sand as I groaned, remembering that I'm too dumb at directions and getting lost so easily.

[ Don't be so dramatic, Did you forget I existed?😡 ] The red system replied as it suddenly appeared in front of me, almost startling me again, I was supposed to get used to this but I guess not.

[ Jeez... Did you lose braincells or something?? Is it my fault that I turned on Music auto mode that made u lose braincells???😒 ] The system replied along with an annoyed emoji.

'Sorry, I didn't mean to forget your existence, Rod.' I whispered back.

[ ROD-!!?? DON'T YOU MEAN [RED]!!??🤬 ]

'Oh yeah, Red, Sorry.' I mumbled expressionlessly with no remorse.

[ .....😒 ]

'So... What to do now..?' I asked silently to the system, Tilting my head.

[ Well, Aren't you hungry?😃 ] The system replied.

'...Yea, I guess so.' I mumbled back

[ Then I'll just wavepoint the way there.🙂 ]

'Oh ok' I mumbled with a straight face.

[ .....😐 ]
[ ..Are u usually like this, Kim Lee? ]

'..Um.... What do you mean by that?'

[ Well, I expected you to be some kind of introvert that is the type to be alone 24/7, But inside your head, You're pretty dramatic.😗 ]

'Nah, I'm mostly just a chill person, and I'm not that unsocial just because I have an expressionless face.'

[ I didn't type anything about your expressionless face Kim Lee.😒 I just thought you're that type of person>!😗 ]

'I'm not a loner.. What are you trying to expect from me?'

[ Oops! I didn't mean to offend you so badly Kim!!😉 ] The system replied sarcastically.

I sighed deeply as I gently scratched my hair;
'So when are you gonna do the wavepoint thing? I'll die from hunger at this point.' I mumbled quietly as I felt my stomach rumble for the 2nd time.. While sighing deeply from the system's texts.
