Several weeks had passed since the shocking incident. The event, which appeared to be a massive disaster, had only occurred in the Republic of Ascaria, where the creatures of the Chaos Realm had destroyed the stakes they had placed to suppress the wave of magic.
Other countries had not experienced anything similar and were reluctant to approach Ascaria, keeping their distance. They did not want to get close, whether to seize an opportunity for invasion or to offer assistance.
This reluctance stemmed from their lack of knowledge about the true nature of the threat in Ascaria. Following the riots that had caused many serious problems, countries worldwide were still busy dealing with their stability issues. They understood that what had happened in Ascaria was somehow related to the anomalies occurring in their nations. Instead of lending a helping hand, they chose to observe from a distance, contemplating whether they could benefit from Ascaria's turmoil.
