Class Fantasia: SIDE DATA

Load Data 9: Revealation

"That man fell into a despair so deep that no one was able to save him. So deep that it drove him mad. And as a result.."

The air became still. I could feel my heart beating even faster than before. The tension that was wrapping this atmosphere was suffocating, it was driving me mad. But I know I had to continue. I have to know the answer.

"He gave every power he has in this world over to the person, or should I say the supreme ruler of this world you know as GM."

"...but that doesn't explain why we are trapped here!! I thought we were done with being test subjects!!"

My tongue tasted awful and my stomache twisted a lot having to admit my own righteous self as a test subject but there was no other to describe who I am in this situation but that..

"Have you forgotten? This world's supreme ruler... the GM is programmed to be the main villain of this game. The final boss. He has control over this world completely but even you could agree to what I would say after this. 'What fun would there be if there was no resistance?'"

In other words...

"We're his play tool... he trapped us all... just for the sake of entertainment."

"Unfortunately."

It was then something in me snapped. An overwhelming surge of an emotion began to pulse through me. My mind went blank as there was only one thing in me. It was an emotion that I had long since abandon.

Anger.

I could feel the pillar that I was standing on shook as an immense pressure radiated from me. The girl before was unfazed by the overflow of energy radiated from me as I glared holes at her.

She was not the target of my wrath. She just so happened to be in my lane of sight. My main target was the GM. He dare to use ME as a source of an entertainment?! He dare use ME?!

While there are a lot that I could tolerate having been living in a rotten society, having someone else using me was crossing the line!!! No one and I mean no one has the right to use!!! I will see it through that whoever was even having such thought sees hell when I'm done with them!!

"Calm down. This mindscape won't hold if you were to release that amount of energy any longer than this. There are still things that I need to tell you."

Her words snapped me back to reality and immediately, the immense pressure disappeared and the calmness of the area returned. I hold my head in shame as I hung it down.

To think I had let myself be overpowered by my own emotions. I thought I had it in check all the time... and I was wrong. At that very moment, be it data or not, I had just let myself be vurnerable in front of someone.

..pathetic.

I breathed in and out to calm the beating heart of mine and soon I was able to get hold of my thoughts and calmed myself.

"Good. Now while you were engrossed with your anger, a friend of yours asked a very good question."

If there's anything, the only person that I could think of having the right mind to ask such a question after having the bomb dropped would be HIM...

"..'How did we get ourselves to be test subjects in the first place?'.."

My eyes snapped open at that and immediately I began to wonder as well. How on earth did I even end up as one anyway? If I recall, there was not one incident before the day I woke up here that led to me being a test subject... unless....

"You didn't remember. No. More like you can't remember. It can't be helped. He tampered with your memories after all."

"... so, how did we end up being in his grasp? Moreover... who is he? "
