AVERY

Derlord didn't know what this world was. His future had become dependent solely on the computer after he saw the king in yellow. He couldn't, couldn't look away, couldn't live after being literally brainwashed. Hastur, who allowed him to see the entire past, present, and future. Derlord was in a complete nightmare, but after a while... Got used to it? Nothing chases him. Nothing worries him. He's alone in this world, alone in this nothing, but he knew that one day Avery, a naive and foolish boy, would come and seek to save a man unknown to him.

Derlord's sense of time had long since vanished, slipping from his grasp, and he lost track of time. What date was today? He didn't know. He was only tormented in this world, and that was all he could do. But at one point, in a world where everything was a library, Avery somehow arrived. He knew why he had come, he knew why, and he knew his intentions. Avery's attention was drawn to a lectern with a book, and as he approached it, he fell under a block, finding himself right in front of Derlord. Derlord said nothing. He looked through his golden armor, cracked in places, at Avery, who seemed to understand that he had succeeded. He had found the one he was looking for. Avery threw himself at Derlord and hugged him tightly, holding him close, causing tears to stream down the stranger's green cheeks. Derlord gently placed his hand on Avery's shirt, squeezing it, unwilling to let go.

— I did it... See? I did it!

Avery cried out through tears, unable to believe his good fortune. Derlord gently stroked the boy's green hair, inhaling the youth's pleasant scent.
