Murder naturally began by exploring his surroundings.
If this illusion was based on a TV show Killer had watched before, then judging by the situation, he probably needed to solve puzzles.
He needed to gather clues and work his way through the stages.
Brute-forcing his way through with sheer strength would only get him so far.
Naturally, the first place Murder investigated was the bed where he had awakened.
Murder's eye color changed, and the entire stone bed erupted in dazzling blue flames at his command.
Then it lifted into the air.
"Nothing."
After confirming there was nothing beneath it, Murder moved his fingers and flipped the stone bed over several times, but still found nothing unusual.
Setting the stone bed down casually, Murder went over to the bookshelf.
"Hmm... these books... don't even have covers?"
He pulled the books off the shelf and leafed through them one by one. What he found astonished him.
There was nothing inside. These books were nothing but blank props sitting on the shelf.
Actually, while this was unexpected, it did make sense.
Didn't those puzzle games always do this? Hide important information in books, pianos, and other inexplicable places?
...His continued browsing ultimately wasn't in vain. Among that great pile of blank books, Murder found one that looked rather unusual.
He pulled out the only book with a wooden cover.
Opening it to the table of contents, the sharp-eyed Murder immediately pulled out something resembling a token.
It was a token made from some sort of precious wood, with a single large character written on it-"Solve."
Tucking the token inside his clothes, Murder leafed through the book again and confirmed there was nothing else unusual about it.
Come to think of it, this seemed to be the only book with any irrelevant text
