Aurelius looked at the mysterious person who helped them to escape from the clutches of the death.
He wore a black mask, hiding his mouth and nose. However, his short brown hair and eyes were visible to him. And from that alone Aurelius concluded he was around their age if not younger. But the strength he has shown...
It was unbelievable.
At least to Aurelius, who considered himself the strongest in this world.
Yet, his confidence had crumbled two tis in a row today. First ti by the enemy and then this young man.
"W-Who are you?" Aurelius asked seemingly curious about this person's identity.
The young man looked at Aureius and the girls standing behind him one by one.
"You don't recognize ?" He then suddenly asked. It looked as if he and they were acquainted.
"N-no?" Aurelius answered honestly. He didn't rember he knew that looked like the young man.
"Hey, Mr.Mysterious, why don't you take off your mask first, and then we might rember," One of the girls, Aurelia, spoke.
"Hehe. You never change, will you?"
The mysterious man chuckled at Aurelia's suggestion but then remained silent for a mont. The air around them grew tense as he slowly reached for the edges of his mask. With a swift motion, he pulled it off, revealing a face that left Aurelius and the girls in shock.
"Y-You!" ..."
The End...
(Author Note: Sorry, I can't continue this work any longer due to certain reasons. And thanks for all the support you have shown. Goodbye...)

"Damn you! Author!" Alex exclaid as he read the last lines of his current favorite novel.
Well, now it would beco a forr favorite. Due to The Author's note.
"Why did you have to stop? You were writing just fine! Dammit!" Alex couldn't believe that the author had decided to end the story just when it was getting more intriguing. Frustration boiled within him, and he desperately wished for more to read.
But this damn author just had to stop, stealing his only source of entertainnt in this world.
"Damn, let change my review about you," Alex muttered as he quickly browsed the app on his smartphone.
However, before changing his review of the book(writing a new one), he decided to read the comnts, curious how other readers reacted to this sudden news.
"Wow... There are a lot of them..." Alex muttered as he saw the number of recent comnts. It already exceeded a thousand and kept increasing.
"Damn Author! You ruined my day!"
"You pic***** ****"
"Hahaha, I bet he must have run out of his imagination"
"Yeah, the last arc was also sh**!"
"I am never reading this author's novels anymore!"
"Hey, can soone give the author's ho address?"
"Oh, are you gonna do what I think you are gonna do?"
"You bet!"
"Wait? Why is the IAmTheStrongestReader writing anything?"
"Yeah, I am curious as well! He was the Number 1 Fan after all."
"I bet he must have been furious and threw his phone in rage and broke it. That's why he hasn't written anything yet. By the way, he must have a clue about the author since he was close with the author..."
"..."

As he read the comnts, Alex sohow gained a quite bit of satisfaction.
It seems he wasn't the only one who was angry with the author.
Well, since this novel which went by the na - "Aetheric Chronicles" was the current Number 1 work on the site, there were more than ten thousand active readers.
Alex seethed with frustration as he continued scrolling through the comnts, each one echoing the collective disappointnt of the readers.
And as the IAmTheStrongestReader, he felt a responsibility to voice his own dissatisfaction.
Taking a deep breath, he began typing his comnt, "You've got to be kidding , Author! What kind of a way is this to treat your fans? We invested ti and emotions into your story, and you just decided to bail on us? Unbelievable. Damn you, Author!"
As he hit the "post" button, he noticed the comnt count rising even more rapidly. It seed like the entire fanbase of "Aetheric Chronicles" was in uproar.
Suddenly, his notification bar pinged with a new ssage. It was a private ssage from an unknown userna, "ChronicleMaster."
Alex opened the ssage with a raised eyebrow, "Who's this now?"
The notification from ChronicleMaster read, "Greetings, IAmTheStrongestReader. I understand your frustration. If you truly wish to know the rest of the story, reply 'yes' to this ssage."
Alex hesitated, his suspicion growing. He knew it might be spam or a prank.
However, the temptation to discover the continuation of the story was too strong. So, he typed a cautious "yes" and hit send.
As soon as he did, his phone emitted a blinding light, enveloping the entire room. Alex shielded his eyes, feeling a strange sensation as if being pulled in different directions simultaneously.
"Thud!"
When the blinding light reached its zenith, a deafening "thud" resonated through the room. The sound echoed as if sothing heavy had fallen. Simultaneously, Alex felt a peculiar sensation, as if he were being pulled into the very essence of the light itself.
As the room plunged into darkness, the glow from his smartphone was the last thing he saw before it slipped from his grasp and clattered onto the floor. The phone's screen flickered with the ssage:
"Congratulations, IAmTheStrongestReader. You are now part of the Aetheric Chronicles. The story continues, and you have a role to play. Brace yourself for the adventure that lies ahead."
At that mont, the room seed to dissolve, and the smartphone lay alone, its screen displaying the abandoned world of comnts and frustrations.
Alex, however, would found himself in a realm unknown, a place where the story unfolded beyond the limits of a re narrative.
The mysterious ChronicleMaster had orchestrated sothing beyond anyone's comprehension, and Alex was now a part of it.
