The gentle hum of the motorized wheelchair accompanied me as I rolled along the neatly paved sidewalk.

Modern wheelchairs were impressive—light yet durable, equipped with special wheels that absorbed even the smallest bumps. Although slower than walking, the advanced mechanisms allowed it to climb stairs using a special track system.

With this wheelchair, I could explore the city freely. It wasn’t as convenient as walking on my own, but it was liberating nonetheless.

"Wow," I murmured, my eyes widening as I took in my surroundings.

The urban jungle around me was a forest of skyscrapers. From this low vantage point, I couldn’t fully grasp the city’s contours, but its towering structures loomed all around me.

Had I ever wandered through a city like this before?

For the first year after arriving in this world, I’d been confined to a small hillside home. Even after becoming Chris’s "precious doll," my outings were limited to trips in her car to hospitals. The occasional park visit or flower-viewing excursion had been rare exceptions.

Now, I gazed around like someone fresh from the countryside, overwhelmed by the towering buildings. Chris’s office was among them, but the entire area was packed with high-rises.

South Korea: a forest of skyscrapers.

Astria: a forest of trees, with towering giants forming the elven groves.

The two were polar opposites yet shared an uncanny resemblance.

For the people of Earth, "Astria" was another world.

But for me, reborn in that land, this modern Earth felt like the alien world.

If I were to live as Isulbi in this future South Korea, I’d need to adapt.

"This is... fascinating," I whispered.@@novelbin@@
