Whoooosh—

A gust of wind swept past, sending a shiver down my spine.

Sensing the chill, I slowly lifted my eyelids.

"…Hrk."

I staggered as I pushed myself upright, shaking off the hazy fog in my mind.

I tried to clear my head, but for some reason, it wasn’t easy.

I circulated my energy.

Bzzz—!

As the energy coursed through my body, my senses sharpened, and clarity returned almost instantly.

"Cough. Ptuh."

I let out a dry cough and wiped my lips with the back of my hand.

How had things ended up like this?

As I dug through my memories, the last thing I recalled surfaced.

"Oh—!"

The moment it hit me, I flinched violently, my gaze darting around.

I had been with Yarang.

When I opened my eyes, I had been on her back, being carried somewhere.

After that, we had arrived in an unfamiliar space.

And then—

‘The fruit.’

I had swallowed that damn fruit against my will.

I had no idea what it was, and I had panicked, but the real problem was—

‘I blacked out again.’

Whether it was because of the fruit or not, an unfamiliar energy had surged through my body, and I had lost consciousness.

And now, I was awake again.

Turning my head, I scanned my surroundings.

‘What the hell?’

I narrowed my eyes at the sight before me.

The place Yarang had taken me to had been entirely unfamiliar.

But now—

‘This is…’

This place was eerily familiar.@@novelbin@@

‘Isn’t this where I collapsed before?’

It was the exact spot where I had passed out after escaping from Yahwol Palace.
