[01 Months: 29 Days: 15 Hours]
~VWUUSH!~
An odd, electrifying sensation coursed through me as I passed through the blueish portal that led me outside the First Floor.
The moment I went into it, I found myself appearing in the garden in the Lyma Estate, the same venue I was in before leaving for the challenge.
'I'm back.' A smile formed on my face as I took in a deep breath and looked around me.
It was dark out, which wasn't surprising. This was nighttime, after all.
So far, the entire area seemed to be fine. There was no sign of an invasion, or any major damage to property.
'The barriers are also fine, so no one interfered with them…' My thoughts trailed as I observed my environment even further.
It seemed, just as I had hoped, nothing of note happened in my absence.
'Guess I was overreacting befo—'
… Nng!
A sudden sensation coursed through me, forcing me to clutch my chest tightly.
'W-what is this…?!'
