I lay there on the cold ground, unsure if anyone else was alive. One thing was clear to me—I was too injured, to the point where even the system messages were completely ignored by my mind. When I woke up, it was nighttime. The stars in the sky shone brightly, a sight you would never witness in a brightly lit city. It was mesmerizing, yet the beauty felt useless, no matter what I did. It only left me more awestruck. This world was beautiful, yet I had no power to protect myself or those who had finally become dear to me. What a pity...
I tried to move my head, but my body felt completely weightless. Huh? Didn't I just receive a fatal injury? I pushed myself off the ground and looked at my hands. They gave off a faint golden glow, as if an otherworldly aura surrounded me.
