Orion and the masked girl found themselves in the middle of Market Street after going through the door Kyle led to.
Looking around, Orion saw various people walking down the streets, buying things from the stalls lined up along the streets, and many others just stood at the center of Market Street, ready to go to mine their daily mana crystals.
It was such a bustling atmosphere, but he didn't know how they would feel if they knew that all of them were nothing but a power source for some damn magic circle.
The thought weighed heavily on Orion as he observed the carefree interactions and the normalcy of daily life around him. These people, unknowingly trapped in a grand and sinister scheme, lived their lives blissfully unaware of the dark truth beneath their feet.
He wondered how they could live so carefree. Didn't they want to know why they had been trapped here? Didn't they want freedom? Didn't they want to know the answers?
