A giant light gate, brilliant with color, stood amidst the vast vacuum.
Above the base of the light gate, as broad as a expansive plaza, there were more than four hundred bubbles of light.
Each light bubble housed a defeated apprentice, some crestfallen, others with missing limbs, or with gaping holes through their chests and abdomens.

The one thing they all shared in common was that they retained their consciousness, and were currently viewing everything happening inside the "World" through a giant screen.
Hundreds of beams of white light projected from the screen.
Hundreds of light bubbles instantaneously appeared on the base of the light gate.
Brushing off his discomfort, Link immediately surveyed his surroundings, verifying whether the environment was safe or not.
Then he looked carefully at the latest notification on his wristwatch.
