FLASH!
As Maria and her family passed through the entrance and reached the next floor, they collapsed in a large city hall. Dozens of people gasped in surprise.
"W-Watch it!"
"Isn't it nighttime? Who could have gone to the next floor at this hour?"
"They're somehow alive..."
"Are you okay?"
"Please be careful."
Maria looked around, finding herself in an underwater kingdom. The people surrounding her were Mermen of all shapes and sizes!
"Oh, ooohh! We're here! Atlantis, right?" Maria asked, standing up.
"Y-Yeah...!" a scared fishman muttered, before running away.
"Finally! A normal world for once!" Maria cried happily.
What everyone experienced in Carnavalis was traumatic. The undying, soulless clowns that wanted to eat them and the strange, endlessly repeating carnival world were perhaps the scariest things Maria had faced in her three lives.
