Within a shallow gorge not too far from the Grim Forest which remained closed off from external forces, a low hum echoed consistently, almost as though something was charging up.
The next moment, a rip in space emerged, and out of it, a strange being in a large brass suit, almost reminiscent of divers from Earth, emerged.
The brass suit was covered in black splotches, corroding it at a rapid rate, forcing the person within to swiftly take it off, revealing his identity to be the Fixer, donning a jumpsuit with a backpack.
His aged physique seemed to have undergone a bit of a reversal as he appeared no longer as a man in his sixties, but instead as one in his late thirties.
The suit he had taken off was quickly consumed by the black splotches on it, transforming into a crystalline substance that reminded one of Quillion.
Behind, the rip in space rapidly closed, though this didn't seem to bother the Fixer as he expected it.
