Before Rayen's vision went blank, he felt his own mouth move.
"Let there be light!"
It wasn't him who said that, but it was definitely his voice.
In a split second, a loud crack reverberated in the entire room, followed by a thud, not just once but multiple thuds, as though multiple large objects fell hard to the ground. Under Rayen's gradually fading consciousness, he glimpsed the silhouette of his teammates collapsing with him.
...
When Rayen opened his eyes again, his memories were blurry.
'Who am I? What am I?'
No matter how much he racked his brain, he couldn't recall anything.
He glanced around, but only darkness surrounded him. His body seemed to be floating in water, headed nowhere. Like he was nothing, he didn't exist, he's not existing at all.
"Initiating system emergency preservation..."
Like a murmur, a mechanical, distorted voice spoke in the depths of his mind.
Just then, a myriad of stars glowed in the darkness.
"Rayen..."
"Rayen..."
"Rayen..."
