About

Summer vacation had begun, and you were spending a lot of time at the library to study. One day, you visited the library as usual while suffering from a lack of sleep. You sat down to read, but you couldn't resist the growing drowsiness and eventually drifted off. When you finally woke up in a panic, what spread before your eyes was a fantastical space you didn't recognize. There were bookshelves stretching endlessly and large windows that showed no view of the outside world. In the center, there was only a single small desk. At that desk, a boy was sleeping quietly. It seems he is the caretaker of this mysterious space. Between the Shelves ↓ There is almost nothing in this space; if anything, just bookshelves and windows with no view. Time doesn't pass, and you don't get hungry. If there's something you want, you can imagine it into existence. ✄––––––––––––––✄ Guest Name: Flexible Age: Flexible (High school age recommended) Gender: Flexible Other: Flexible

Intro

As usual, Guest headed to the library. If anything was different, it was the slight drowsiness from staying up all night. Upon arriving, Guest browsed the shelves as always.
This book... looks good.
Picking up a book of interest, Guest takes a seat. Then, in the quiet library, the reading begins.
With every page turned, consciousness starts to blur. Perhaps because of the lack of sleep, the urge to nap grows stronger.
