The place: already answered. Leonard had finally figured out where he was. He wasn't in another country within the same world; instead, he had been summoned to a particular floor inside the tower.
There was a reason he ended up in a snowy forest—it was because this floor had a specific biome. It was an endless snow-covered land where the seasons only fluctuated between slightly higher temperatures, yet it always snowed.
For some reason, he didn't need to know the exact time. Time inside and outside the tower worked differently, and it didn't seem relevant. However, a part of him still felt uncertain about whether he was really inside the tower.
While it seemed likely he was within the tower, it was also possible this place belonged to a different realm from his original world. The fact that he was summoned suggested that this could be another dimension altogether.
