'It's starting to get boring,' Mathew thought when the shadows surged all around him.
What used to be a magnificent display of the power that Mathew didn't understand now turned into nothing more than an annoying cutscene the young man couldn't skip.
'If controlling the merchants refers to being the last one to use their service, that should be enough,' Mathew thought right as the merchant's subspace finalized its forming-up process.
Then the shadows of the realm suddenly pulled out, revealing the exact same space that Mathew experienced near the beginning of the apocalypse.
"It didn't change at all, huh?" he muttered as he shook his head, ready to return to the real world right away.
'Wait, is that all there is to it?' Mathew thought, stopping right as he was about to leave. He then raised his head and looked around the place, hoping to find the clues.
