Weeks after Elric left the US to travel back to his hometown in the Philippines, his eyes were shocked to realize the unbelievable changes that took over his homeland.
The wide grassy planes and distant mountains he grew up with are long gone and replaced by various towering hotels, apartments, bars and so on - a typical first-class city with modernized technology fully implemented in the system.
After reaching the now-unfamiliar street he used to walk by since he was a child, Elric stepped out of the taxi with his mouth gaping in surprise.
Ten years!
It only took ten years for all of these massive buildings to sprout in his homeland! Just what really happened ever since the day he left the human realm on that fateful night?
Looking at all the modern traffic lights and the buzzing street crowded by people in decent clothing, Elric's mind was still at loss.
The least, it should have taken about twenty or thirty years to have such kind of modernization to take effect.
