An Susu awoke to find herself standing on a stretch of ink-dark earth.
The vast wilderness sprawled out, its colors stark and cold, vegetation unusually dense, with peculiar creatures visible everywhere, yet it lacked any sense of lively wildness or an aura brimming with vitality.
A cold moon hung in the sky, with clouds occasionally drifting by.
She moved her limbs, feeling very awkward, as if they weren't part of her body. Her speech wasn't quite articulate, and even her thoughts were hazy. However, she did not panic because Gu Yu was standing beside her, signaling her to adapt for a moment.
Roughly the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, An Susu finally took her first step, then the second, the third… Her movements became smoother, and she could speak out loud.
"Where is this place, real person?"
"Shady mound."
