As if crossing through a layer of transparent fluid, a faint repulsion came from all directions, mild and breathless.
Charlotte's vision was overwhelmed by a vast whiteness in an instant, and her outward perception was severed just as quickly.
It was as though she had crossed a boundary into a void, and in the blink of an eye, the severed perception reconnected, while Charlotte's vision gradually took on a shade of crimson.
Before her was a boundless land.
Mountains rose and fell in succession, guarding towering castles, surrounded by endless, dense forests.
In the center of the castle cluster stood a tall palace, a crimson beam connecting the palace to the sky, illuminating the entire world.
The red glow scattered in all directions, the sky, the earth, the trees, the castles... all exhibited various shades of dark red, invoking a feeling of depth and mystery.
And where Charlotte and her companions appeared was just outside the central palace's entrance.
