After stepping through the Mist Gate, wisps of fog curled around him, like pairs of soft hands...
All around him, apart from the thick fog, nothing could be seen.
The thousands of employees who had just entered were nowhere to be seen...
In the midst of the fog, Colin's expression gradually became somewhat vacant as he stood still, unmoving.
But just then...
"Dong— Dong— Dong—"
The eternal and ancient sound of a bell echoed from deep within the mist.
It was only then that Colin seemed to snap out of it, moving toward the source of the sound.
Soon, he saw a "sun" suspended above his head, not very large, but the flames that fell from it were far more fierce than its size would suggest...
At the same time, Colin saw many strange things evaporating from his body.
There were bizarre texts that screamed as they burned...
There were various kinds of strange lights...
And the most abundant among them was a vermillion light that squirmed as if it were alive.
