Chapter 697: Conversation Between Extras [Pt 7]

"This world… doesn't it remind you of all those cliche stories we used to read as children?"

As Adrien's voice permeated the air, sending a chilly sensation through the ears of the only audience he had—Rey—he had an air of solemness. An eerie silence accompanied his voice as he continued, his blue eyes dulling with every uttered word.

"The Dragons are the villains, set on world domination… and the other races are being overrun by evil. Heroes are summoned to face this threat, and by slaying the Emperor, they root out the evil completely…"

Rey remained quiet as he heard Adrien speak. 

He had never read or heard of any of those stories that Adrien referred to as 'cliche', and perhaps that was because he wasn't particularly afforded much of such books when he was a kid. He eventually outgrew his interest in them.

Even now, Rey found himself having more of an affinity with textbooks or documentations, rather than novels.
