Ethan saw darkness as far as his eyes could see.
It was so dark that he couldn't even see his hands nor body.
Back then he often wondered what absolute darkness looked like.
This was the first time that he had experienced something darker than black, which even surpassed the darkness he saw when he closed his eyes.
But, from within that darkness, something stirred.
A faint light, similar to that of a candle light, appeared in the distance.
It was so faint that there was a danger that it could disappear at any second.
Having a destination to go, Ethan didn’t hesitate and went towards the light to see what was waiting for him there.
At first, it seemed that no matter how much he ran, he couldn’t get close to the light.
He even felt that he wasn’t moving at all because the distance remained the same.
It was as if he was running full speed on a treadmill, not being able to advance, and simply running in place.
Then, he thought of something.
