Gabby thought to himself:
"I'm an outcast. Growing up in a magic tower since childhood has weakened my social skills.
It's no surprise. I only met my seniors yesterday, and I never went through the same hardships they did.
Still, I must learn to survive in this kind of place—where monsters like Thrix have evolved just to stay alive.
Lately, I've been wondering where we really are. Not in terms of location, but the realm itself.
I read in some books that this portal leads to another dimension. They even call it a different planet.
There are only two active lands ruled by monsters: one is the Curse Forest of Monsters in South Thorpes, and the other belongs to a different kingdom.
We had made it through the night without any more casualties."
A girl with long hair and soft, curly bangs walked up to him. Her round, innocent eyes met his as she asked, "Did you eat breakfast yet?"
Gabby nodded. "Yes. How about you?"
