The thing suspended in mid-air flickered on and off like a faulty light bulb, about the size of a washbasin.
At first, I thought it was something like a Luminous Pearl and wanted to climb up to take it; if I managed to bring this out, I could lie around eating and drinking for a hundred years without any problem.
But it was right above the lake, with nowhere to place my feet and no trees or rocks around, so it was completely out of reach.
My concept of 'death' is relatively weak; though I've seen many dead people, I have no deeper understanding of it.
Wandering by the lake for a while, I still couldn't figure out where the 'death' in the Gate of Death manifested.
Does entering mean dying? But I'm still in a half-alive state.
If coming in would indeed meet with inescapable danger, the black tree shouldn't have thrown me out, but instead, strangled me with its branches.
