章 397: — RAWR! — 

The space ruptured, sharp dimensional winds overturning the soil like thousands of daggers. But, the portal didn't just spit out magic, it made a lone man appear out of nowhere. 

He found himself in a world overflowing with mana, far different from any he had known, without any system to welcome him. Somehow it gave a very primitive feeling. 

The wind carried the iron smell of blood as the large leaves of the gigantic jungle trees shook. Thorny vines lay all over the place as roars echoed in the distance.
