Chapter 139 - 138: Finally Back Again
Suddenly, piece by piece, the system space began to collapse. Rex stood there, watching the room—the one he had spent countless years inside—disintegrate into glowing particles. The bed, the desk, the walls—everything disintegrated like sand slipping through invisible fingers, leaving nothing but an endless void.
Then, without warning, the fabric of that nothingness twisted.
A black hole tore open in the darkness—silent, immense, and terrifying.
Before he could react, it pulled him in with a force that defied logic.
His body twisted unnaturally, sensations spiraling out of control. It was like being trapped in a cosmic washing machine—his limbs stretched, his mind disoriented, reality spinning violently around him. His stomach lurched. His thoughts blurred. For a terrifying instant, he wasn’t sure if he was still alive—or if he’d ever existed at all.
He couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think and couldn’t even scream for help.
And then—
Suddenly, his eyes snapped open—wild and frantic—like a man torn from the grip of a nightmare.
The sound of his own breath echoed around him, ragged and raw.
Huff... Huhhh... Huff... Huhhh...
A sharp gasp tore from his throat as he jolted upright, the sheets twisted and damp against his skin. His chest rose and fell in heaving waves, breath ragged, each inhale scraping the inside of his lungs as if trying to remind him that he was, in fact, still alive. His hands trembled as they curled into fists, sweat slicking his palms.
