The darkness around me is suffocating.
The last thing I remember is that I used my mana to stimulate the dragon mark on my back.
But it seems I used too much mana in the process and fell unconscious due to lack of mana.
But then why am I here?
In this darkness?
*Hiss.*
The sudden noise made me alert.
I turned to face wherever it came from, but then I heard it again from another direction.
*Hiss.*
The noise was all that existed within the darkness surrounding me.
The hissing of a snake.
The representation of the snake James Smith, The Jade Snake.
Why?
I didn't even touch the Snake mark.
Why is this happening?
*Hiss.*
It seemed to be getting closer, clearer.
And then, as I was standing calmly in place, I felt tremendous pressure coming from behind me.
I immediately turned and found a large eye belonging to a reptile looking at me.
I could only see the slit that was its pupil and the yellow sclera.
