Boom!
A tremendous buzzing echoed in his ears, and he felt momentarily disoriented.
Suddenly, Casio found his field of view had shifted to the vast and misty high altitude. Below was a valley with rugged rocks and towering peaks, surrounding a huge black depression in the center that formed an immense lake.
"Is this... the World of Calamities?"
He looked upwards and saw a dark smudge quietly spreading at the top of Heaven's Curtain; black cloud layers mixed with gray dense fog set the main tone of the sky. Lonely, desolate, cold. Faintly, a blurred moon's silhouette emerged above the thick clouds, casting the only light available.
"Hoo~"
It seemed as if a gale was blowing in the high altitude, something massive was pressing down from the sky. The air was disturbed and chaotic, as clouds and fog were forcefully scattered in all directions.
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
