บท 56: The malfunction

As I began walking towards the post mentioned by the commander, the space around me seemed to waver, as if it were slowly fading away into nothingness.

"What's... what's happening!?" I stammered, my voice trembling with fear and confusion. A blue whirlpool suddenly materialized above my head, accompanied by a barrage of error notifications that flashed before my eyes.

[Shadow world has malfunctioned!]

[Error! Error! You have been forcefully kicked out!]

I felt a rush of panic as the world around me dissolved into blinding lights. When the brightness finally subsided, I found myself standing in a vast open field, surrounded by several others who were similarly disoriented.

"Hey, what happened?" I heard a voice nearby.

"I don't know! I was just possessing the favorite maid of the 2nd royal prince! It was so exciting. Why did they suddenly pull us out?" another voice responded.
