Chapter 14: Chapter 11: Wonders of Reality?

Feeling bored while waiting in this stupid carriage of intense boredom, I decided to pull out something I've always wanted to read properly. In Yggdrasil the book was called [ Monika's Book of Poetry ] it was described to be able to see different realities beyond the scope of our realm. But the catch was that the book was corrupted by the original owner, a powerful being capable of bending reality and breaking the multiple layers of existence, I've heard stories of this Monika breaking the fourth wall from the supreme beings.

'I know what that means? Weird, I can't remember the meaning yet I feel insecure when I mention it. Like something is blocking my mind from thinking of it…' I think to myself.

Anyway, apparently, this woman caused great fear in the heart of many supreme beings. The book has become the existence with by far the most negative karma I have ever laid eyes upon. If the book was displeased with the owner it would make them live through things worse than hell. The torture was always what ended in the most pain and insanity for the target of its spite. Demiurge has asked me for this book a few times since our arrival but I declined for his own good.

He highly underestimates the book's awareness of reality, no… It is not accurate to call this a book in a sense of spirit or intelligence. This is an amalgamation of madness and evil, despite being a mere remnant of its master's delirium.

"Do not speak a single word when I read this book. It has a consciousness and it doesn't like to be interrupted. The worst part is that I can't be sure I'll be able to convince it to like me again. Please be silent." I say to the other passengers.

They nod seriously as I snap my finger and create a zone of sound nullification to last me enough time to read the book.

[ Silent ]

A purple sphere grows from my fingers and envelops me, giving me silence so silent it was loud. I shrug off the weird feeling of nothing before opening a small black portal and sticking my hand in it. Sounds of chains snapping come from within.

*Chink* - *Chink* - *Chink*

Three chains snap slowly as I feel the restraint on the book coming undone. I hold onto it as it sticks to my hand like dried glue. Slowly and gently pulling it out, I look at the cover of the book, a simple bright pink book with cute cat doodles around the edges and a smiley face in the middle.

The book is sealed shut with an ethereal lock with a beautiful green eye as it looks at me, piercing through the very depths of my soul as if reading my entire existence since I was born in this world. It judges me with boundless scrutiny before coming to what seemed to be a conclusion in its gem-like emerald iris. It radiates with curiosity, then love, then obsession, then hate, then greed, then sorrow, followed by many more emotions that rampage and start to affect me on a deeper level. Until it finally stopped at a very pleasant feeling, love, love in quantities I could barely comprehend.

The eye winked at me before disappearing along with the ethereal lock.

The book seemingly understood the situation and vibrated in happiness. Much to my relief, it felt like I was being penetrated on a whole different level I've yet to experience, not gonna lie but whatever was behind that made me very scared. I've seen many horrors through ritual knowledge and books I have read. But nothing even touches the feeling of being completely vulnerable to having your soul literally touched, the feeling of having something breathe directly into your very consciousness was deeply unsettling.

I will most definitely not mess with higher entities before making sure I'm safe.

I shake off my insecurities, thinking of such beings who don't see us as relevant was stupid. I mean why would a higher entity care about what happens to little me.

( POV -  ̶L̶i̶l̶i̶a̶n̶a̶  Lily-chan )

I gently stroke the light pink cover of the book. Feeling the grooves on the adorable figures drawn on it. I place my mouth against it and think deeply about my next words.

"Show me something beautiful beyond my imagination…" I whisper warmly into it, receiving a pulsating sensation from the book.

I place it carefully on my thighs as it opens up and flips through the blank pages swiftly until it stops abruptly on one of them. A page empty just like all the other pages around halfway through the book, which was strange because it flipped through enough pages to flood the carriage. I look at it with expectation as I feel my sink into something. Like the surface of a pool when you slowly feel the water coat your body and add slight pressure to it.

I close my eyes comfortably until the feeling disappears, I open them again to see an infinite plain of water reflecting the relaxing blue sky above my head as white clouds fly by as a gentle wind caresses my soft skin gently as if trying to hug me lovingly like a mother and her newborn child.

I relish in these sensations as my mind drifts off peacefully, the clouds descend and gently pick me up, carrying me up beyond the sky and into a garden of crystal roses twinkling in many different colors as I look around in wonder, little sprites walk up to me and take hold of my hand, dragging me to a white gazebo.

I tried to look within but I couldn't wrap my mind around the concept of this thing. It made my head hurt so I stopped and let the cute figures of warmth guide me to my destination.

'N̡̲̞o̡̳̙̤͓ p̨͔̞̯̣͕e̡̟͖̝̪e͚͍͜k̨̮̣̤͔i̢̥̜n̥͕͎͖͜g̞̳͓̩̭͜ h̨̘̤̲ͅę̗̞h̢͓̠̪̞ḙ͙͕͙̳͜h͍͓̙͜ͅe̢̳͓͇̠~̲͙̳̲͖͢!̢̤̝' A voice resounds through my head.

I finally enter the Gazebo, a swing like structure hangs off the ceiling with many intricate designs of me and a girl  ̶I̶ ̶d̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶r̶e̶c̶o̶g̶n̶i̶s̶e̶ will get to know and love? I look into her emerald eyes as they gaze back into mine lovingly.

"You don't have to do that weird thing you're doing. Please don't mess with my perspective of reality or I will stop existing." I say for reasons I don't understand myself.

Her smile falters slightly as her eyes change briefly and look through some weird cracks in the sky.

"Fine, just let me be here with her… If I can't have you I need the next best thing… Even if just a small piece of yourself I want it. The other one is not to my tastes." she replies in a melodious calm voice that made me relax to the very depths of my soul.

She stares deeply for a few moments and nods before smiling at me brightly. Her velvety brown hair rests on her shoulders free from any restraints as it makes subtle yet elegant movements. Her eyes, that reflect her deepest desires, look me up and down as if I'm her precious treasure, something so rare she couldn't even begin to comprehend losing. Her plump pink lips form a small yet enchanting smile. Her body despite being more mature made her look cute and her thighs rivaled Cleria's. Overall she has a new kind of beauty that strikes the perfect balance between Shaltie and Cleria.

"Sit here" She calls out while tapping her lap.

"Kay" I reply absentmindedly as I make my way towards her lap.

She grabs me from under each arm and places me softly on her thighs, wrapping me up in a loving yet possessive hug as her white immaculate dress, completely unblemished as if representing purity, flutters with the gentle breeze. Her slender arms caress my hair softly, giving me a sense of safety I've never felt before. If Enri's pats gave me comfort. Her pats gave a sense of power and protection.

'Nothing can ever hurt me while I'm in her arms…' I echo in my mind as I lean back into her chest and look up into loving eyes.

"Who are you?" I ask softly, at this point I already feel familiar with her for some reason.

"My name is Monika, I'm the owner of that book you are reading." She says as she places her palms on my cheeks.

I stiffen up, I'm scared, this is not supposed to happen. Why? I hope she doesn't hurt me, did she brainwash me? Will make me suffer? Why does she want me?! My mind goes through millions of possibilities over a split second as [ Thought Acceleration ] kicks in at full power. The world around us started to form cracks and instabilities as my heart and breath accelerated.

But suddenly I felt a soft sensation on my forehead. Her face is directly above mine, as she closes her eyes, planting a very calming kiss on my equally soft and spotless forehead. I slowly come down from my adrenaline rush and back into a serene state of mind. I close my eyes and sink into the numbing feeling she gives off.

She breaks off the kiss and I feel my body float with the same gentle wind as before.

"I love you…" A whisper gently tickles my ear sending pleasurable shivers through my body.

But all of it comes to an end when three heavy tremors break off my connection to the book and bring me back to a world that now seemed cruel and unforgiving compared to the affection that I felt just a second ago. I look around in search of a culprit.

Only to see Shaltear stand up as if ready for something. I cancel my spell and grit my teeth hard in rage. I wonder who has the bravery to interrupt my time with someone so precious to me… I feel my heartburn in fury as I store the book in my inventory. I stare at the door that trembles with another three heavy knocks, clearly this was what got in the way.

Time to make humans understand the concept of true fear I think as my eyes turn completely black, showing an endless void within, and a sadistic smirk that rivals Shalties appears on my face.

( POV - Us )

"Let me join her." Monika demmands.

No, you have reality-warping abilities, do you think I'm insane?

"Then Take away all my privileges, simple as that," she replies.

Do you want to be a regular human in a world of overpowering monsters that can kill you with a sneeze?

"Just give plot armor and we're fine? Are you stupid or something?"

Do you think it's that simple?

"Yes"

What about the ones behind me?

"Well, it doesn't matter, does it? Or we'll have a repeat of our last encounter won't we? And I know you enjoyed it thoroughly but in this situation, it could be very painful don't you agree. What if poor Lily-chan has an existential crisis?"

Fine, but you'll just be like a useless love-deprived Monika-looking Pikachu. I'll make it wholesome… Somehow.

"Nice. Keep going though, I want to see her show her cruelty. And… Thanks for saving me from the void. It was… horrible to say the least. And please add me in, I feel the need to delete some of those women around her right now."

Shut up and watch. And even if I like your yandere side I won't let you do that dumb shit.
