'Am I hallucinating? Am I dying?' Marx thought. Perhaps he was seeing visions because he was feverish, and his head ached from the contusions he suffered during the crash. He blinked, but the vision was still there. He saw a beautiful woman fully naked on the edge of the other side of the spring. Her slightly wavy hair with the color of copper cascaded freely down her slim waist. She raised her arms and dived cleanly into the water. Marx waited, but after some time, she did not emerge. Marx chuckled. How could a woman be in a jungle in the middle of nowhere?" He heard a growl from behind him, and before he could react, a big tiger pounced on him. The last thing he remembered was seeing four canines closing in and hearing a loud female voice shouting, "Khalil, stop!" … Discover how Amaya, who grew up in the wild, coped with the pressure and challenges of returning to the civilized world.

Winged beasts with a hundred-meter wingspan swooped from the skies above. Bloodthirsty creatures weaved and leapt between skyscrapers, in search of prey. Thunderous beasts shrouded in lightning took steps that shook the earth with each stride. Humans hid, trembling in the city ruins, praying for the protection of the World Tree. Outside the city, a gargantuan tree that eclipsed the sun, opened its eyes. "This is the city under my sanctuary. Leave, or meet your death!" In an instant, all beasts submitted.
