"What in the seven heavens?" Niki muttered in a shaky tone.
His blood went cold and his face paled.
He had seen similar scenes in highly-immersive MMORPGs he'd created in his past life but none compared to the real thing before him.
Suddenly, he was hit with the realization that the heat wasn't coming from the sun, at least the majority of it.
Before he and Eva laid a vast chasm filled with boiling magma and several horrifying creatures that couldn't be explained with mere words.
Sensing their ranks, several chills went through Niki's body and he took a soft step back and covered his mouth.
They hadn't been noticed yet because of the figure lying on the ground, unconscious, on a small mound of sand, the abominations not daring to move his way.
It was an elf with... cat ears on his head?
'An elf? Beast kin? Could he be a hybrid? Anyways, this isn't my business. I'm no righteous hero.'
