Darkness.
A deep, profound darkness.
The state of the Dragon-man youth hovered between confusion and clarity.
"Who am I?"
"Where is this?"
His memory quickly surfaced.
"I am an Imperial Knight, disguised as Zhenjin… Now I am the squad leader of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, under the alias Long Fu!"
"How have I ended up in this situation again?"
The Dragon-man youth recalled.
Previously, on the Mysterious Monster Island, he had fallen into such darkness more than once.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the island, the dark nightmares still haunted him.
An endless expanse of darkness enveloped him, silent as the grave.
The youth tried walking in the darkness.
He felt himself moving, but no matter how far he walked, the surrounding deep darkness remained unchanging.
The now fully awake youth gradually grew impatient; the silent darkness seemed like an immense cage trapping him.
"I want to leave!"
"But how can I escape?"
