The moment Lucian lost consciousness…
He was instantly swallowed by an endless sea of darkness, completely surrounding him.
There wasn't even the faintest flicker of light.
No sound. No movement.
Nothing but an all-consuming darkness stretching endlessly in every direction.
'Isn't this… the same place…
The place I was in after dying?'
Lucian remained confused for a long while.
But then—
That confusion was immediately replaced by bewilderment as he instinctively tried to turn around.
'I… I can't move!'
Panic instantly surged through him as he tried with all his strength to move his body…
But nothing happened.
He couldn't feel his limbs.
He couldn't even feel his legs.
He couldn't feel anything at all—only the growing panic swallowing his thoughts.
He tried to curse aloud.
But—
"...!"
He couldn't.
Not even a sound came out.
Even though he desperately tried to calm himself, he simply couldn't.
