At that moment, confusion hit me like a wave.
Is it possible that we're no longer in that illusory world?
The thought spiraled in my mind, refusing to settle. Then where the hell are we?
Before I could dwell on it further, my system returned, its familiar interface flickering back into existence. Relief coursed through me as its energy surged, and within moments, my body was fully restored, the wounds and pain disappearing as if they'd never existed.
I hate to admit it... but I missed the system.

It had been a while since I'd seen this screen flicker in my mind—half a month without it, maybe more. Or was it longer? Time had blurred in that void of pain and darkness.
