As the sun's first light cut through the thinning clouds, the silhouette of Safe Zone -09 emerged on the horizon, bathed in golden brilliance.
Everyone watched with stunned silence.
It was nothing short of a marvel.
Perched atop a colossal, floating landmass suspended by ancient gravity cores, Safe Zone -09 resembled a fortress city torn from the pages of myth. Massive rings of translucent crystal rotated slowly around the island's perimeter, glowing with runes that repelled monsters and nullified corrupted energies.
Dozens of sky towers, each hundreds of meters tall, jutted from the landmass like silver spires. Some served as arcane defense formation, while others were watchtowers manned by sentinels who monitored both sky and ground below. Between them stretched wide aerial bridges lined with mana lamps and banners bearing the crest of the Horizon Alliance.
