"Ugh…"

Lee Joon-young clutched his head as he got up. It felt like his skull was about to split open from the pain.

Looking around, he saw his companions groaning in agony just like him.

‘What the hell happened?’

One by one, his comrades had collapsed, and soon after, an overwhelming drowsiness had taken hold of him, forcing him to fall as well.

‘I feel like I had a weird dream…’

A dream where countless people, including himself, were floating toward the land in the sky.

"Urk!"

Joon-young immediately covered his mouth, suppressing the urge to vomit.

"Kh…"

It had been a horrifying dream.

He couldn't recall it in detail, but the emotions he had felt in it remained seared into his mind.

A blinding light, unbearable pain, and a chilling, incomprehensible fear of his very existence being erased.

That terror, engraved deep in his soul, was still vividly present.

‘Was it really just a dream?’

Could it really have been something so simple?

Even if it was, how could he explain the bizarre phenomenon that had occurred just before he lost consciousness?

Everyone—his comrades, the people around them, even himself—had collapsed at the exact same moment. There was no way that had been a mere coincidence.

‘But we all woke up just fine…’

He turned his gaze toward the sky where the Sanctuary had once hovered, but there was nothing there.@@novelbin@@

Still feeling uneasy, Joon-young hesitantly called out to Kim Tae-hyun, who was lying beside him, rubbing his forehead.

"Tae-hyun."

"Mm…?"

"Did you… have a dream or something?"

"A dream?"

"You know, something terrifying? At first, we were floating toward that land in the sky, and then—"

Before he could finish, Tae-hyun abruptly cut him off.

"It felt like falling into the ocean with countless others. A storm was raging, the whirlpools were violent."

"What?"

"And there was that light—so bright it felt like my mind was melting."
