Chapter 32: Suspicions.
"Damn, that was one long exposition." Mark plopped down on the bed while Lara took the chair right beside him. The room he was given didn't look much different from the one he woke up in, but the hospital-like feeling was gone, and the door didn't suddenly disappear behind a wall. He was also given back his phone, earbud case, wallet, and keys.
The talk with Natalie and Ramsay went on for hours. He learned quite a few things about the current situation of the world and his place in it, as well as the multiverse in general and what he should expect going forward.
In summary, things weren't looking too good for his own world and he would probably be moved to a new one soon enough.
"What do you think, Lara?"
The maid had her head lowered. Mark was under the impression that she was a lot more knowledgeable about everything that was happening, but she seemed as shocked as he was with most of the stuff they learned.
After a few seconds, she heaved a sigh and shook her head.
"This might be the most bizarre Lower Realm I have ever heard of." She heaved a soft sigh.
"Really?" Mark raised an eyebrow.
"Normally when a Fallen World causes a Dimensional Collapse, the only way to stop Madness from spreading to the new world is to secure those with the potential to Awaken and kill all those who get infected. The idea that the majority of the survivors can safely Awaken should have been nothing but a distant dream."
