The gray world before his eyes gradually became clear. John felt a refreshing breeze as if a gentle wind was brushing his face.
Struggling, John opened his eyes and looked at the warm sunlight shining on his cheek through the window. His tense nerves finally began to relax.
"It's finally... over."
John never wanted to experience another ordeal like the one in the underworld again in his lifetime.
Although the rewards far exceeded his expectations, such a life-threatening gamble was something best left as a one-time experience.
Struggling to sit up, John looked around but didn't see Elaria or anyone else.
Given the time, John had spent over six days in the underworld, and the flow of time in the game world should be the same.
It was normal for Elaria not to be there—she wasn't some caged canary of his; she had her own life.
"Finally... I can rest properly."
