“What happened?” Adam slowly moved his body. He felt extremely comfortable. ‘Where am I?’ He suddenly paused when he realised there was something that didn’t add up. It was silent and he didn’t smell anything at all. There was no one in the surrounding area. He fell into thought, trying to recall what exactly happened. ‘Ah… Right.’ Memories flooded his brain with the events that happened that day. He failed to control the darkness, and then he fell unconscious. ‘Hm? But where exactly is this?’ He slowly opened his eyes, trying to grasp the situation. He was not on the soft bed in the palace, and this wasn’t anyplace he was familiar with. There were no lingering scents that he knew of. More likely, there was no scent at all. He noticed the tall ceiling made of… Stones? There were many carvings on the ceiling, but it wasn’t colourful at all. Rather it was black. ‘No! This isn’t even black. This is just carved in whatever this roof is made of. No colours or anything else.’

Adam opened his eyes after an unknown amount of time. He didn’t expect such pain at a time like this. It was as if something was trying to drill out of his head. ‘These memories… They aren’t mine.’He remembered the so-called memory fragments he saw when he almost died in the north. However, these were of use to him, especially since he was in an unknown place. Still, he realised something. Something inside his head was preventing him from getting all these memories. The pain he had to endure was because of this. He felt like he was squeezing these memories out of a tunnel full of sharp thorns. “Master… Are you alright?”“Yeah.”Adam felt Mahisha standing near him.He slowly stood up and waved his hand. The memories he got were enough for him to understand this place. Not everything, but some basic idea about what he could do. With a wave of his hand, a white couch rose from the ground. It gave him a slight pain inside, but it wasn’t much. He realised what happened earlier had da

‘Sigh. I guess I have no other option for now.’Until he was strong enough to find the memories buried in his mind, he couldn’t do anything about the situation. Besides, he was looking at the scene below him. The West Coast was already below the Abyss. If he wanted to leave, he had to go now. “Mahisha. I’ll be leaving.”“Yes, Master.”Adam looked at this gloomy castle once more before jumping out of the window.…“Master, the portal is ready….”Mahisha felt his master moving away from the Abyss as he spoke. “Huh?”It looked at the vertical yellow circle in front of him in confusion before feeling its master falling toward the planet.It tilted its head in confusion before reaching out.“Master.”“Yes, Mahisha?”“Master. What about the portal?”“Eh… What portal?”“The one I opened for you to go to the place you were on that planet.”…Adam choked on his words when he heard that.“Did the master forget that?”‘What forget? I didn’t even know there was one like that.’He wondered if it

‘Adam?’Elena felt the sudden gentleness wrapping around her. It was warm and safe as if she was in his embrace. Her body became light and the aura helped her to stand up. “Sorry, I am late.”She looked at him in a daze.He wore a shirt and pants made of red and black material. It wasn’t the same clothes he wore when he disappeared. His body was on fire but he looked fine. Elena felt her vision become blurry with emotions. He was here, smiling at her once more. She wanted to ask so many things and rush up to him. To be in his embrace. Maybe even punch him a few times for leaving her behind, but she tried her best to hold back her tears. She could have all the time she needed with him, but first, she stayed there watching him clumsily putting out fire with his hands.“You are late.”She watched him finally walking toward her. Everyone else was simply kneeling around them.“I am sorry, Your Majesty. Eh… Why are they kneeling? I felt even you and Amy kneeling. What happened?”“Isn’t

“Your Majesty.”Adam caught the Empress’ hands in a hurry.“What? You are getting too bold. Catching my hands.”He knew she was just scolding him, and she wasn’t truly angry. “That is not it. Someone is here.”“Huh? Here? I can’t feel anyone.”She was looking around in confusion.“Not here, Your Majesty. Someone just entered our world.”“World? Are you saying someone like you?”“Maybe….”He lifted his head up from his comfortable pillow with a frow. Casually coming into this world even without alerting Mahisha. ‘This person wanted me to know that he is here.’He knew this presence was announcing its arrival.“Huh? But there are no drastic changes. Is he also falling from the sky? Well, it is very silent.”Adam froze when he heard the Empress. He instantly looked away.“What? Don’t tell me you did that on purpose?”“It was a mistake.”“What do you mean it is a mistake?”“Well. I didn’t know there were other ways to travel. So I just jumped down.”“Pfft… Hahaha….”‘This is why I didn
