Chapter 25: Strangeness... Chaotic World?
Kranos stepped into the spatial portal. Although there was a brief delay before he vanished, he didn't think much of it.
Whoosh!
Cough! Cough!
Chaotic. That was the first word that came to Kranos' mind as he opened his eyes. What greeted him was a world beneath a sky bathed in shades of purple. Breathing the air felt heavily polluted and chaotic.
I guess I'll have to get used to this, he thought.
Looking around, Kranos realized he had arrived in what resembled a forest. A forest? he frowned. Why do the trees seem so... strange?
The trees had clearly been affected by the corrupted environment. Their bark twisted into odd shapes, and their color had shifted to an eerie purple hue, as if the land itself had mutated.
This lower realm isn't ordinary... Kranos sighed, already forming a plan. First, I need to find a safe place. Then, I'll gather information about this world before attempting to earn any points.
Cautiously, he began to walk, scanning his surroundings like a trained explorer. Thankfully, his past life experiences as an adventurer were proving useful once again.
