บท 88: The Eruption

The sky was painted a soft orange as Grace stepped out of the restaurant. The air smelled faintly of rain, and the streets were busy with evening traffic.

She was currently in Country B. Other than a few rain showers, nothing major had happened there so far. This allowed her to shop around freely. If she wasn't wrong, then she had spent nearly four hours hoarding supplies around the city.

Now, it was time to return to her apartment. She was just waiting for Davian who was making payment for the meal they just had. She stepped out first because she wanted to enjoy the beautiful view that the city presented.

She was busy taking in the hustle bustle around her, and then... it happened.

A deep, earth-shaking boom shattered the evening calm. It was so loud that it felt like the world itself was tearing apart, and there was no exaggeration there.
