Ding!
[You have entered the "Seventh Layer" of the "Forsaken" Realm: The Forgotten City.]
Sam's shoes touched solid ground, and he straightened as his eyes swept over the strange place he had just arrived in.
He stood on a small island, its surface covered in thick, healthy grass, with a single tree standing quietly at its center.
All around the island stretched a bottomless void, a darkness so deep it felt like falling into it would erase him entirely.
There was no wind. No sound. And no one else.
He was completely alone here.
'So either this layer works on a solo basis, or it's just because I entered without a team.'
In the [Lower] realm, layers like this one could be entered by hundreds of people at once, pulled in randomly and forced to share the same space.
But the [Upper] realm didn't work that way.
Here, the rules were sharper and more selective.
Sam didn't mind in the slightest.
