Chapter 7: Entrance Ceremony (Complete)
I think I once heard a story like that long ago.
God gave water to humans, and the devil gave them alcohol.
That alcohol was made from grapes nourished by the blood of various animals.
When you first drink it, you become as gentle as a lamb.
Drink a little more, and you'll dance and sing like a monkey.
Drink more, and you grow fierce like a lion. Go beyond that, and you become a pig, puking and rolling around wherever you please.
A drink that literally turns you into a beast.
Alcohol.
A curse granted in exchange for the power to deny reality.
Of course, doing this in real human relationships is an incredibly effective way to make everyone around you disappear.
“Uuuugh...”
Yeah, I do like drinking, I’ll admit that.
