Zephyr emerged from the shimmering portal with a gasp—and found himself in a world of flesh.
The ground squelched beneath his boots, a moist, pulsing floor of sinew and decay. Overhead, walls of muscle flexed like living lungs, and rivers of green bile oozed through channels in the walls. The air was thick, humid, and stank of rot and acid.

Passive Effect Applied: Corrosive Atmosphere — HP and stamina decay increased.

Zephyr tensed, gripping the hilt of Soulreaver Fang. His breath came heavy. The oppressive heat and constant movement of the realm's walls gnawed at his senses.
"This entire place... it's alive."
