My eyes slowly opened. Everything around was dark.
"That's strange," I said as I stood up with difficulty. My body felt heavy, and I didn't feel very well.
I began taking slow steps across the black floor. No matter where I looked, I couldn't see anything.
"Did I faint? Is this a dream?" I asked out loud.
Then, a voice reached my ears.
"You're taking too long."
It was a gentle voice. The voice of an older woman, probably around my mother's age. I looked around, but I couldn't see anyone.
Have I heard this voice before?
"You're taking too long," the voice said again beside my ear.
"What do you an by that?" I looked around nervously. There was only darkness surrounding , and my heart started racing as sweat ford on my skin. I could feel soone watching , but I couldn't see anyone.
This is terrifying.
It's been a long ti since I felt fear like this.
My body started trembling slightly, and then I heard the voice again.
"You're taking too long. You've done so little despite having so much ti to show your talent. You only wrote a few books, and you haven't even debuted as an actor yet. Why haven't you tried singing yet? Why haven't you written the script for a movie or a series? You have an enormous library inside your mind. I gave you perfect mory for that very reason! You care more about your personal relationships than your mission."
"Who are you?"
"Have you already forgotten ?"
Then, eyes appeared within the darkness, staring directly at . Eyes that seed to look straight into my soul.
"You're the person who gave these abilities."
"I don't want to talk about myself. I want to talk about you. Why are you taking so long?"
"I…"
"You want to enjoy your life, is that it?"
Hearing the question, I answered.
"Yes, that's right. I want to complete the mission while enjoying my life. I want to enjoy this life because there were many things I couldn't achieve in my previous life."
"I see."
"I want to enjoy every second of this." I smiled. "I want to beco the greatest star, just as you asked, but I want to do it more slowly. I want to beco an adult first, and only then expand my 'horizons.' Do you think that's wrong?"
"You are clinging too much to your age. People already know about your talent; you no longer need to hold yourself back. Create things that will leave people speechless. Create things that will drive critics insane! Create songs that will reach the top of the world—you can do that."
"Yes, I can."
"Yes, exactly. Don't hold back. However, you need to be careful."
"You're talking about the headache I had yesterday?"
"Exactly. Do you know where you are right now?"
"My body?"
"Yes, exactly."
"I don't know where it is."
The giant eyes blinked at , and then the voice spoke again.
"Well, you'll find out soon enough."
"Am I going to wake up now?"
"Yes. I don't have much ti. I only wanted to tell you these things… Don't hold yourself back. Amaze people. It will make your life even better—you'll be able to enjoy it much more. I was the greatest star in the past. I know what I'm talking about."
Before I could say anything else, everything suddenly went dark again.

When I opened my eyes again, a familiar white ceiling ca into view.
It was a hospital ceiling.
"Hmm?" I looked around and realized I was alone in the room. I sat up in bed and couldn't feel anything wrong with my body.
The headache I had been feeling was gone, and I didn't feel tired anymore.
I opened my "Status" and noticed that my health rank had increased again. It was now Rank B. The rank had been lower before. For so ti now, I had been feeling tired constantly. I had also started having those headaches and body pains.
Huff~~
I let out a sigh and sat there quietly. I was wearing hospital clothes, and my school uniform was nowhere to be seen. The only thing in the room was my phone. As soon as I picked it up, I saw countless ssages and missed calls.
There were many ssages from my mother and father.
The last ssage from my mother had been sent a few hours ago, saying she would take the first flight she could find to Japan.
Besides them, only one other person had ssaged .
It was Aoi Hoshino.
Our "date" was supposed to happen today. I quickly replied, saying I wouldn't be able to go today and that we should reschedule for another day.
I made it clear that I was dealing with an ergency.
After sending the ssage, I tossed my phone onto the hospital bed and sat there quietly.
'Who brought to the hospital? Did they call an ambulance or sothing?'
Then, the room's door opened.
The person who entered was Rina.
Her expression wasn't one of concern, but irritation.
She inford the nurse that I was awake and then closed the door. Slowly walking over to , she asked,
"How are you feeling?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here because your school contacted your mother, and she asked to co to the hospital."
"I see…"
"Your mother and father are already on the plane. They'll arrive soon."
"I see…"
"So, how are you feeling?"
"I feel great. The headaches are gone. Did the doctors say anything?"
"They ran several tests because your dical history isn't exactly good. They were very worried, so they did an MRI and all kinds of examinations on your body."
"So you found out."
"Yes, I found out. Why did you never tell the agency about this before?"
"I thought you already knew. Don't agencies investigate everything about the past of their talents?" I smiled at Rina.
Huff~~
Rina let out a sigh before speaking again.
"But don't worry. They didn't find anything wrong with your body. They said you probably fainted from exhaustion. You've been pushing yourself too hard."
Hearing that made laugh.
I fainted from exhaustion, yet that "entity" said I wasn't doing enough…
How funny. Seriously…
