Haruto stood in stunned silence, his eyes widened, as he slowly looked down to find himself standing on the sand shores of an Island. It was a golden hour, with the sun setting and painting the sky in a vibrant shade of orange.

Turning his head back, Haruto saw a big dark forest far behind them, its towering trees and dense leaves heightening the unsettling aura of the forest.
