The voice was unfathomably ancient, yet it was laden with historical gravitas...
Leo opened his eyes instantly, only to find himself in a place resembling the cosmos. However, there were no stars around, only strange clusters of colorful light.
What place is this?
Leo was taken aback, hastily reaching out his hands, only to find that they were gone!
No, it was more than just his hands. Leo realized that he was merely a consciousness at this moment!
"Young one, there is no need to panic. This is the realm of spirit, where everything is non-physical," the aged voice echoed again.
Looking toward the source of the voice, Leo was startled to find that it seemed to emanate... from a sphere?
Yes, a sphere, a huge sphere.
The sphere was dim throughout, appearing like a light bulb on the verge of extinguishing, with only a little flickering remnant light, seemingly about to be snuffed out.
