The world went dark. Not the darkness Rin had experienced beneath the castle. Not the darkness where the forgotten souls slept.
This darkness was different. It felt as if someone had closed the entire world around him.
Rin couldn't hear the gods anymore. He couldn't hear Sol.
He couldn't hear Lucien or Kaan. He couldn't even hear Kaelith.
"Kaelith?"
Nothing. Rin reached forward. His hand touched nothing.
"Kaelith!"
Still nothing. Panic immediately took over. He turned around, trying to find even the smallest trace of light.
There was nothing. Only darkness.
Then—
a voice spoke.
Not World. Not the System. A voice Rin had never heard before.
"You should not have remembered."
Rin froze.
"Who are you?"
No answer. He took a step backward.
"Where am I?"
The darkness remained silent. Then a faint light appeared beneath his feet.
Rin looked down. A circle of silver light slowly formed. Inside it were dozens of symbols.
