Not yet known. Sacred Sand Ocean, Forbidden Domain
Already as if the world had been violated .
Between heaven and earth there was an inferno of sand like a silent creature.
The hot sun's rays reflected on the sand sea and produced a golden shine everywhere.
The burning light condensed on the sand until it distorted the air. When looking at the sand, a mirage could be hinted that it was dissolving into liquids.
The temperature rose to unattainable levels.
Even the various rodents that could coexist in such an atmosphere were not present and will not be seen.
What was even more strange was the structure of this ocean of sand. There were no hills, plains, or masses of it. This ocean of sand was completely flat and was deathly quiet.
As if it contained an underworld beneath it, it gave off a feeling of loneliness and brutal emptiness.
No forms of life, this here was the real fear
In these sacred sands there is nothing else!
On a small point from above, a human figure can be seen lying down.
Dressed in black and white, this human was none other than Ryouta.
His eyelashes moved slightly and he began to wake up.
"Khhhhhhh"
Ryouta raised his head and scooped out several mouthfuls of sand from his mouth, 'H-what is this place, no, is this the place I was drawn to?' Ryouta sorted through his memories, before he moved here he was separated from his sister after that he was absorbed by it. Light in the darkness.
Remembering everything he had been through, Ryouta finally turned his attention to finding out where he was.
Golden desert!
'This, what's wrong with this sand?' Ryota suddenly raised his body and was drawn to his nose. 'This is the smell of burning.' When he lowered his head, he saw that his school shoes were smoking.
From the extent of the radiation of the place, it was possible to tell that the temperature was not normal, yet Ryouta did not feel the discomfort of the heat.
'Ah,' Ryouta suddenly thought quickly, 'If this place is as hot as hell, then why are only my shoes burning?' Ryouta looked at his pale skin and did not feel any sensation of heat. The shoes he was wearing were hard underneath and still burning, so what about? Soft skin?
'Now when I think about it, a ray of light saved me in that darkness, not only me, but even my sister. So, if you add what those mysterious people said when we were summoned, this place is "another world."'
Ryouta's eyes widened slightly.
At this time, standing on a sea of endless sand, there was no escape! Scorching temperature, no sign of life. !
I raised my hands on this fragile body and his pupils met the burning rays of the sun. Ryota narrowed his eyes and exhaled the hot air heavily.
"Hope, what hope, where will this hope come from hehehehehe," "Who am I, who will I be," Ryota's black eyes blinked and shone in many colors through the sun's rays.
Several laughs emerged from his mouth, which seemed muffled.
Gradually, his head began to bend forward.
Freedom !
Ryouta's eyes moved around the place several times.
Sand, all that can be seen is a flat sea of sand, from afar it seems as if there was an end to it, from afar Ryouta can see several standing figures.
"Mirage, ha, moving to a place like this seems like I'm really miserable." Ryouta muttered, head down, and a black shadow condensed inside his eyes. With such a weak body, Ryouta was deprived of many things, and yet this place gave him a feeling of... freedom! .
He was relaxed, and at the same time cautious.
Ryouta directed his dark gaze around the place and his body relaxed slightly. And he started searching
'Well, from my deduction, I think the reason the climate of this place has no effect on me has something to do with those mysterious entities and even that light from the darkness.'
'This desert is not like any other desert on Earth. This desert has a surface structure without plateaus. It seems that this place in particular is far from life forms.'
Now that I'm immune to heat, there must be other things hidden, but that doesn't prevent the reality of my current condition.
Ryouta's thoughts quickly collided as he noticed any points where a solution could be derived, yet there was only one point that attracted Ryouta.
There are still secrets that have not been revealed!
Ryota suddenly lowered his body and quickly took off his shoes. His shoes had already begun to erode from the heat of the sand, and now that he knew that his body was not affected by heat, there was no longer any need to wear shoes.
Ryouta didn't know the numbers of the mysterious entities about them!
Kashg
Ryouta's feet sank into the golden sand, 'H-That's warm.' Ryouta could feel the warmth of the sand because of his feet, 'So it's not that I'm invincible, then what could it be?'
Several beads of sweat fell from Ryouta's forehead. If my previous assumption was wrong, this would make his survival rate decline rapidly. 'Think, think, think,' Ryouta forced his mind to think and began to remember what had happened so far.
'Mysteries, light, warmth—wait', 'It may not be that I have become immune to it, it doesn't make sense, is it just that I have adapted to it?!' Ryota raised his hand and moved it under the sun's rays. Gradually, he began to feel its warmth.
At first, the moment he woke up, Ryouta only felt that the leather of his shoe was burning, yet he himself did not feel it.
This made him think that he had become invincible after remembering what happened before.
However, now Ryouta discovered that he could feel the heat in a warm way, not in a burning way. With a body like this, Ryouta knew that he would become a plastic rag on this hot sand.
So the matter is only that in the beginning he could not keep up with the climate of this world and he must first adapt to it.
Ah ah, this realization made Ryouta feel extremely distressed, 'Gradually as my body adapts to this world, the heat will no longer be the same as it is now. Immediately I will be in danger of death.' Like being splashed with a barrel of ice water, Ryouta felt cold sweat on his back.
This world has now become hell!
Originally, Ryouta was able to analyze his affairs because of the knowledge that the climate did not affect him.
This gave him a broken piece of hope!
But now his fragile body would definitely become a twisted piece due to melting under this climate.
'I have to find a safe place.' What Ryouta meant at this moment was a shade to protect him from the heat even though it was not there in this sea of sand.
Ryota's feet moved several steps and he began to feel the heat increasing.
He knew that what he was feeling now was just the tip of this heat iceberg.
The longer he delays, the higher the temperature increases. "Even if the temperature increases by 1%, it is still dangerous for someone like me. I have to run away." Ryouta's gaze moved in several places. "A mirage."
Ryota looked back. 'Another mirage.' He turned to the side. 'One more time.'
Ryota seemed to feel how cold the situation was. For the last time, Ryota looked to the other side. 'Finally, there is a way out.'
It was not clear how he was running. Ryouta was using his hands and legs like a squirrel running away.
The sand was absorbing his feet and it was no different from walking.
This speed made him use his hands directly to increase his speed.
Even if it is a mysterious situation in an unknown place, even if the mind will not keep up with this world.
There was no way for Ryouta to submit to death like this!
'I have to hurry, under this sand it is hotter than this place. If I don't find a place to take shelter, I will be burned.' Ryouta was no longer trying to think and became like a mad animal running away without turning back.
....
After several minutes
....
Ah ah ah, I'm running as hard as I can for a few minutes, but nothing, no, I still have to keep going. It's only a few minutes, Ryouta thought, ignoring the scratches and fresh blood on the tips of his toes and hands.
...
after an hour
...
Ah ah ah ah, a-a-I'm where, Ryouta's face shrunk ugly and several wrinkles appeared on it, under his eyes great exhaustion could be seen.
On this sea of endless sand, Ryouta's body swayed like a straw in the wind, "Where, where, where, it's hot, hot." Ryouta raised his right hand and several mumbles passed through his dry lips in representation of his loud thoughts. Ryouta's hands and feet were no longer like their original state.
Because of the way he was running, it was bloodily disfigured due to its contact with the sand, the smell of meat being grilled, this smell made Ryouta's mind tremble madly several times, he couldn't help but ignore everything until he found a safe place for himself.
There is no time to hesitate, Ryouta endures the pain, and his vision has already become more blurry than before. If he doesn't find something, he will definitely become disabled, 'M-This, it's a tree.' In front of Ryouta's vision, there is a shadow from a tree more than 500 meters away.
Seeing it from this place gave Ryouta a feeling of its magnitude, 'Is it a mirage? No, it's not the time, don't think.' Ryouta firmly stopped his thoughts and decided to head towards the location of this tree.
Even if it was a mirage, she at least gave him half a guarantee! .
