The window kept hanging in front of his face for an undetermined period of time.
When Mo Ling first woke up, he was dazed by the amount of sleep that he had.
As his vision cleared, his eyes flew open wide. In a flash, he sprang upright like a startled cat, only to realize the strange window was still there, fixed at the center of his sight, as though grafted into his very eyes.
He quickly calmed and struck instinctively, clawing and punching with both hands, but his hits met only air. Confusion quickly showed on his face. He stopped for a while to read what was written in front of him, furrowing his brows. 'Where did this come from?' Once he finished reading, the window disappeared and another instantly appeared.

"Hello, can you hear me?" Seeing no response, he continued.
"What are you? Is someone in there?"
The window flickered, causing a smile to appear on Mo Ling's face, but it was quickly replaced by a frown.

He exhaled deeply then looked towards his destination.
'Guess I'll have to meet that guy.'
He began climbing one of the enormous roots. Up close it wasn't a simple root at all, but a twisted cylinder nearly forty feet wide, so massive there was no risk of falling. The climb wound upward and downward in uneven slopes, like a living path.
Mo Ling felt no urge to question his lost memories or his past. Even the name Mo Ling meant little to him now. Perhaps he feared disappointment. Perhaps he simply refused to live bound to someone else's life.
'To live a life not of my choosing is no life at all,' he thought. 'I'll carve my own path, and any obstacle shall be purged.'
That conviction was born from pain, the pain that had consumed him since the moment he awoke. His mind had endured so much agony that even sleep could not silence it; his nerves had screamed until they stopped listening. In that torment, something inside him had broken free of fear, free of identity.
After a long climb he reached the first summit. Despite the distance, he showed no sign of exhaustion. As soon as his feet touched solid rock, another window flared to life.

He studied the message for a moment, nodded once, and continued onward.
He crossed the last couple of summits.
Before him stood the tree, so immense that its crown disappeared into the white sky, it was a little weird since he couldn't see it before reaching the highst peak.
Mo Ling stared for a long time, silent. Something in the air felt alive, aware.
He stepped out of the giant root and climbed to reach the summit, when he was at the level of the tree's base he saw a giant Crack on it, It looked like a géant gatehouse, a soft light flickered before his eyes
