Chapter 5: Awakening Glitch - Blood Devour! (1)
Kai couldn’t believe it.
The hut, which looked like it could fall with a slight shake of wind, was even bigger than the Inn’s ground floor he had left behind. A hall, draped beds, closets full of books, and the blazing hearth. It was like stepping into whole another world.
It was more mystical than anything Kai had ever seen in his previous life.
It was...
Magic... The word bubbled in Kai’s heart, stirring the old, buried strings of a youth he had never experienced.
"Come here." A commanding tone reached Kai’s ears.
He took his eyes off the things and focused on the people. In the middle of the hall, surrounding a big round table, were three people. Desmond’s hood had fallen back, letting others see his short black hairs. A few white patches lingered on his head as a sign of age.
Kai approached the table, searching for an exit, but couldn’t find one. The door behind him had shut the moment he had walked into the supposedly small hut.
A dangerous place, Kai concluded.
In the middle, there was man, leaner and younger than Desmond. Clean shaved, he had shoulder-length blue hair, and his head was down, looking at the map.
The third one was a woman, taller than both men.
