It had been ten days since we left the city of Barqa. During those ten days, we stopped in various towns and villages along the way.
"Lun, what do you remember about the Central Plains?" Rima asked.
"The Central Plains?"
Back in the game, the Central Plains were a vast, seemingly endless expanse. Lush green meadows, forests, rivers… Everything was there.

"You'll be able to see it soon," Rima said.
I immediately looked out the window. Before long, I saw a shocking sight in the distance—a vast desert stretching endlessly to the horizon.
A desert?!
