Ashton opened his eyes and saw that he was standing in the middle of a vast and seemingly boundless white space.
The silence was deafening. Not a living being could be seen on sight. He was the only existence here as far as he was aware, and clearly, he was confused.
He could clearly remember what happened a few minutes ago...
Ashton sensed a deadly threat unlike ever that he had encountered before. Before he even knew it, his body already moved on its own as if it knows what was going to happen.
He tried his best to defend against whatever it was, but ultimately he blanked out. The last thing he could remember was being swallowed by a blinding flare of golden light, and all of a sudden, he woke up here.
Ashton took a breath and lifted a hand. He attempted to call on his abilities, his weapons, his Laws...hell, he even called out to the System but nothing responded.
