As Ibaan rose to the height of the towering walls, the magical mountains filled his vision.
His soul and mind ached as they drew closer.
For a moment, his thoughts went blank, his consciousness fading.
Then
'Wha—'
Reality glitched multiple times as they were about to pass through the last wall and move toward the Mountains of Prophecy.
A thick darkness enveloped him and in the next moment, to the shock of his very existence, he once again found himself back in the real world. This time, there was no appraisal or system delay. His eyes widened as he stared at the ceiling above him. His heart pounded as a foul stench filled the room, making him stumble and cover his nose instantly. It was also unbearably cold.
He was back in the real world.
But how?
He didn't understand it at all. Just moments ago, they were about to pass through the wall, and the next moment, he was here.
Where was Amane? Lady of Flowers—wasn't she with him?
