Darkness surrounded Noah.
He could no longer feel the forest.
He could no longer hear the wind, the voices of the surviving students, or the pain tearing through his body.
Everything felt distant.
It was fading
As if he were slowly sinking into a deep ocean where neither light nor sound could reach him.
Then the familiar blue screen appeared before him once more.
Its light floated within the darkness. Words began appearing across its surface. He somehow tried to focus on it.

[Congratulations, Extra!]
[For successfully surviving the Third Act of Chapter I – Demons.]
[Not only did you survive an encounter against a demon, but you also came into contact with something that was never supposed to appear at this stage, in this arc.]
[You witnessed a fragment, or say a weakest form of The Eternal Mona@#$ of the S@#$%#$#@, @$%#@#$.]
The text glitched violently. Several words distorted beyond recognition.
Noah couldn't understand any of it. The symbols looked wrong.
