Alexander opened his eyes to the world and found himself in a strange place.
His whole environment was black, and the sky was very different from the sky on Earth…
The whole sky was tinged with a fluorescent pink glow, and thousands of unknown constellations twinkled in the sky while beams of purple energy crossed each other overhead.
Of course, Alexander's first thought was that his VRI disconnect had failed. He tried to open the system menu…
But nothing happened.
He pinched himself violently on the forearm to see if the pain would be similar to what he would feel in "Horus"—present, but in a virtual way that was not exactly like that of the real world.
The pain from this pinch was completely realistic. He had indeed disconnected and returned to the real world.
But then, what was this strange place? Why couldn't Alexander move, and what was he even doing here?
Then, in the darkness, something strange happened.
An incomprehensible shape began to move.
