Stupid Steps to End
Chapter 14: Do not open + Interview (?)

Guinevere POV

I know you love me. He doesn't want to harm me. Dad wants me to be happy. As the bum said, he had no regrets. Hence, I have no reason to cry more than I should.

Dad left me with no message or inheritance. He left empty-handed. But the trail is still here. He has given me many things that no one else can give.

And more than anything, I know that I want to leave this house. He left the homeless a command to look after me for sure.

I appreciated. I love dad. I can't miss the opportunity he gave me. But they don't understand that I need a moment.

How much I hated my status as the daughter of an executioner's family, I was filled with thousands of memories with my family.

From a long time ago, I've given up going to the outside world. Instead of leaving, I would rather draw them into my world. I've decided there's no other way I can take it other than this. The path that will not hurt me is more than the suffering I have experienced.

The absurd opportunity that came suddenly after my father died felt like an illusion. I doubt the path I choose will plunge me and I won't be able to return.

L'm..

.

.

Guinevere, my little girl..

"!!.." - "!I flinched hearing the voice of a familiar woman calling me. Looking out the window, I could see nothing but the black fog that covered the night.

The atmosphere feels cold. I can faintly hear the sound of knocking. I know how dangerous it would be if I continued to be here.

However, I stared when I saw my brother's face behind the fog.

"M, Morgan.."

...****************...

The night came again..

I can't stay calm the longer I'm here. This house if seen again more creepy without Mr. Ogyruan. Maybe it's because he's the protector of this house.

Sitting in the dimly lit living room, my eyes were fixed on the only door that was painted red. Guinevere said this was the room that belonged to his long-dead brother. But said Mr. Ogyruan, the room is a forbidden laboratory.

There's not much I know about Mr. Ogyruan's first child other than that he died quickly. He's not much talked about at all.

'He is a kind child. The boy grew up similar to his mother. He has a high curiosity. So I made him a lab'

KRIETT..

I opened the red door. The room was unlocked but no one dared to open it. I wonder why.

The room looks normal. There are a lot of strange things to be found there. Books neatly arranged on his shelf and displayed the papers of his research on his wall.

—— Morgan. The name I found on those papers.

The name sounds familiar. I've heard this name in my life before. Since the author chose the Arthurian setting, I guess this name comes from one of the legends of King Arthur.

But who is he? What is Morgan's role in the story

'—— Go or die here'

"!!.. Uh?"

PSHH...

A fog of ash suddenly enveloped me. Before I knew it, my face had changed and I couldn't see anything in front of me. For a moment I heard the voice of a demon inside me speak.

It's unclear what he said. But I know it's a warning.

As the fog in the room began to thin, I rushed out and looked for Guinevere. Surprisingly, my body did not want to move. My feet stopped in front of Guinvere's room. As if he refused to go in there.

There was bad air coming out of the room. Walking backwards, I have a bad feeling. But before I could escape, the door to her room was already wide open, inviting me in.

A woman wearing Guinevere leather welcomed me in. Screaming, I remembered what I had forgotten from King Arthur's story.

—— Morgan le Fay's. A healer who turns into an antagonist in the Arthurian legend.

The evil fairy that started the destruction of King Arthur. And the figure in front of me is Morgan who was inspired by the character.

..."Come in, I've been waiting for you"...

INTERVIEWS

Ogyruan: Hello everyone. My name is Ogyruan and I seem to have died earlier than I thought. So I'm here as an interviewer for the Author.

Author: Me?!! The interview?!!

Ogyruan: Why not? Author, introduce yourself first.

Author: Uh.. Hello everyone, author here. First of all, the author apologizes for not uploading a new chapter for weeks.

Ogyruanese: Oh.. Author not uploading? The author starts to get lazy.

Author: Yeah.. The author again goes into holiday mode.

Ogyruan: Alright, then we will enter working mode today. We will start today with the topic: WHY AUTHOR?!!

Author: Ehhh?!! What kind of topic is that?! You serious?!

Author: Howdy?!

First question: What is the reason the author wrote this story?

Ogyruan: Please answer.

Author: Yeah.. Honestly, this is a pilot story from [DON'T EVER].

Ogyruan: What is an Author-written story? Isn't [DON'T EVER] so different from this story?

Author: Believe it or not, this is the earliest version. The author has long made this story and only tried to upload it last year.

To be honest, this is the last chapter that was in the Author draft before Author moved on to the current [DON'T EVER] concept.

Ogyruan: Ah. So yes. All right, we'll move on.

Question two: How did the author feel when writing this story?

Ogyruan: I don't really know because I'm not the Author. But.. The author roast himself using this story, right?

Author: Well, I have to admit Author did put that into his concept because Author is upset at himself who usually stops the story halfway.

Ogyruan: So the Author has never finished a story?

Author: Ever. Only once. The author ended it years ago. The author has put it a little bit in this story.

Ogyruan: Oh, really? What are all the story titles that Author entered-

Author: No, not. Just one. Unfortunately, Author has been removed.

Ogyruan: Author deleted the story... If the main cast of this story heard it, he would definitely scold the original Author.

Author: Haha, that's right. But the story is not very good so not reading it is also not a problem.

Question three: The author has a lot of stories but never finished. Wh why?

Ogyruan: Author, aren't you a writer?

Author: The author cannot recognize himself as a writer. The author does not deserve to be called one. The author wrote because there was a fire inside.

Ogyruan: Fire?

Author: Right. The author wrote as the fire lit up. But the fire did not always last long. Writing like that makes Author feel sad.

There are a few stories that Author almost finished and there are some that almost got to *******. The first story that Author wrote on this platform was one of the stories exposed to checkmate.

Ogyruan: Does that mean this story is deadlocked?

Author: The author doesn't know how to end the story. The author is losing direction on what Author wants to say.

Ogyruan: Why did the Author lose his way? The Author should have planned it from the beginning of the outline right?

Author: When someone is too eager to follow the trend and make a mainstream story, it will be difficult to get back on track because from the beginning there was never one.

Ogyruan: So the Author story deleted it?

Author: No. The story is still here. The title is an extension so the author also does not remember it.

Ogyruan: Then is there a story that the Author is currently active on?

Author: [DON'T EVER] it's the only one active for now. As much as possible, the author tries to stay on track.

Question three: Does the Author intend to continue this story?

Ogyruan: The author knows there are readers who read this story too?

This is probably a pilot story and the Author didn't develop it much. Does the author have any plans for this story going forward?

Author: ... That's right the author didn't develop much of this story. After creating a new concept for [DON'T EVER], the idea for this story literally stopped in place.

The author is aware that the author is not popular. Therefore, the Author actually did not expect anyone to read and always support this story. The author is very happy and grateful to the readers.

The author apologizes for disappointing you. Sorry the quality and execution of the Author story is rigid and not very good.

Frankly, the Author doesn't know to plan this story ahead. There is a chance the Author will continue but probably not now.

Ogyruan: Did the Author think about when?

Author: Sorry, Author hasn't thought about it. The author will inform you when the time comes.

Last question: What is the Author's message to readers?

Ogyruan: This is probably the last time there will be this interview. Author, can you give me a final message for today?

Author: Readers.. After reading this interview, Author just wants to say Author is sincerely grateful to you who faithfully support this story from the beginning to this chapter.

I apologize and thank you for reading this chapter. May you always be healthy and stay excited.
