In the silent hall, the sphere of light was emitting a faint but steady pulse.
Like a still-beating heart.
Aside from Ian, the hall was empty.
He was the first, and only, person to arrive.
He walked slowly toward the sphere of light.
His footsteps echoed in the vast, empty hall.
With every step, ripples spread across the silver floor beneath his feet, as if responding to his approach.
When he was ten meters from the sphere of light…
HUMMM!
The sphere suddenly erupted in a blinding, silvery-white brilliance!
The light swept through the area like a tidal wave, completely overwhelming Ian's vision.
And then…
A fragmented, chaotic memory shard, filled with endless sorrow, forcefully crashed into his consciousness!
Ian's vision blurred.
He found himself standing at the pinnacle of a majestic Star Tower.
Below him lay a Star Spirit Race city, bustling to the peak of its prosperity.
