Chapter 6

“Damn it!”

Enoch quietly looked down at the base of the mountain before finally spitting out a curse.

The day was exceptionally clear. The visibility was so good that the horizon in the far distance came into view even more vividly.

There were two more mountain peaks of similar height to the one we had climbed nearby, and beyond them, glimpses of the horizon could also be seen.

No matter how I looked at it, this was an island.

Hah…! Hahahaha!

“Damn, to think this place is an island.”

I rubbed my face dry and swallowed bitter tears along with my sense of despair.

This made my hypothesis even more certain. That this place was inside a novel. Though it probably wasn’t even a hypothesis to begin with.

Only after a long while did I come to my senses and quietly take in the island’s terrain.

A massive river flowed through the middle, which looked just like Seoul’s Han River.

For convenience, let’s call that side North Island and this side South Island – South Island had one more mountain of similar height to the one we climbed.

So South Island had a total of two mountains, and North Island had one mountain.

“It really is an island…”

I sat down right where I was. My legs had given out.

Enoch, who had gone far to look around the surroundings, returned. He too sat down next to me with a dejected face.

We sat there silently, each lost in our own thoughts.

“Where on earth is this place? Could it be an island near the Langrid Empire? Or perhaps…”

Could it be Korea…? If it’s an island where modern Korean items appear, wouldn’t that be worth suspecting?

Actually, the bigger problem than possessing Margaret was that I hadn’t read the novel to the end.

I had read up to the part where the female lead Yuanna escaped the island through that ‘door’ that appeared after a year, but then I had an accident, so I don’t know what happened after that.

– Every year, a door connecting to the outside of the island opens. And they had to survive on the island by any means necessary until that ‘door’ opened.

The novel was written in first person, but there was definitely such text written in the introduction.

It was someone’s handwritten practice novel, but only that passage was in a different handwriting, which was strange.

I thought it was fascinating that someone would handwrite an entire book in this day and age.

Also, the descriptions were very plain and realistic, making it feel like the actual records of a castaway, which made it more interesting to read.

‘This all happened because I secretly stole and read someone else’s novel I picked up on the street. Damn it.’

I pulled at my hair.

And Enoch, sitting next to me, rubbed his face dry with an equally weary expression.

He had a rather desperate look on his face.

“I can’t guess anything.”

Enoch furrowed his brow painfully with a powerless face. Then he cursed once more and irritably messed up his hair.

This was the first time I’d seen him show such intense emotions. But I felt just as desperate about this situation.

“To be abandoned on this damn island.”

It was already unfair to die from being hit by a falling signboard, but now I have to film a real survival show inside someone’s practice novel – this is too unfair.

I thought with a gloomy face, resting my hands on both cheeks. It was unfair, but I couldn’t just die like this.

‘Let’s think of a way. A way.’

As originally planned, it seemed best to gather as many survival necessities as possible and find the ‘bunker’ that the female protagonist had discovered.

Can’t help it. I have no choice but to move according to the original plan.

‘Speaking of which, what are the other characters doing right now?’

From what I remember, the characters each woke up in different locations. Some woke up by the river, others in the middle of the forest.

Enoch had argued with Margaret on the beach before meeting the female lead, I think?

The novel’s progression has already gone completely off track from the beginning, but whatever. I need to survive first.

Grumble.

Just then, a pitiful sound came from my hungry stomach. Enoch looked at me. It was the sound from my stomach.

‘Why is it me again?’

Enoch’s stomach is well-behaved, so why does only my stomach keep protesting that it’s hungry? Does it follow its owner’s nature?

But thinking about it, we had only eaten acai palm fruit and spent all our energy climbing the mountain.

Enoch hadn’t even slept, so he must have consumed even more calories.

‘Right. This is definitely a problem. Some action is needed.’

I got up and dusted myself off.

“Let’s go down first. Now that we know it’s an island, let’s go down and make a plan. And we need to survive.”

I extended my hand toward Enoch who was still sitting.

There still wasn’t a place for Enoch in my future plans. But right now, I didn’t have the strength to run away from him.

Enoch looked at my extended hand, then looked up at me with an unreadable expression.

Only then did I remember that he disliked me.

‘There’s no way he would take Margaret’s hand…’

I was about to withdraw my hand when he belatedly took it. His large hand wrapped around mine gently.

He stood up without much effort. There probably wasn’t any need for him to hold my hand to get up.

I have no idea what he’s thinking.

“Thank you.”

Though he still looked clearly exhausted, his terribly low tone was excessively sweet and dangerous to my heart.

Why does this man manage to be fresh and sweet even in situations where he should be haggard?

I turned around, clutched my chest, took deep breaths to calm my racing heart, then looked back at Enoch with a nonchalant face.

“Let’s go.”

We had to descend the mountain before sunset.
