Light
Looking around, we see plants emitting a strange light clustered all around us. They resemble giant jewels, and touching them conveys a cool sensation. In the sky, stars form geometric patterns, making the universe itself appear like a colossal work of art.
“...Mitam... This space... I sense abnormal energy...” The librarian spoke slowly. His face showed a mix of intense surprise and faint unease. When he touched a nearby plant with his fingertips, his body glowed ever so slightly. “...This plant... In ancient magical civilization texts... There were... similar descriptions...”
“Similar descriptions...?” I asked, intrigued. “What kind of descriptions?”
“...‘The Source of Life’... or something like that... It's recorded as a plant possessing the fundamental energy that constitutes this space... By touching it, one can absorb that energy... However... there is also the danger of becoming bound by the laws of this space...” The librarian's voice gradually grew quieter. His eyes gazed into the distance.
“Laws...?” The historian interjected. “What kind of laws?”
“...I don't fully understand yet... But... the flow of time in this space might differ from ours... And... this space is unstable... It could collapse at any moment...” The librarian's eyes grew more serious. “We must act cautiously... Mitam... I'm counting on your abilities...”
I take a deep breath. The librarian's words remind me anew of this space's danger. Indeed, this place feels unstable, shrouded in an eerie atmosphere. Yet, at the same time, I sense it brimming with unknown energy. Unraveling this space's laws and finding a way out of it. That is my mission now.
“Understood... I'll investigate the laws of this space...” I replied. Then, I began carefully observing the surrounding plants and the stars shining in the sky. My immortal power functioned perfectly even in this strange space. The energy of this space flowed into my body, imparting a faint warmth. Yet, I knew it simultaneously harbored unknown dangers.
The historian opens the ancient text he carries, searching for descriptions related to this space. The librarian slowly moves the staff in his hand, attempting to sense the flow of this space's energy. We each utilize our knowledge and abilities to unravel the mystery of this strange space. Our adventure is not over yet. In fact, perhaps the real challenge is just beginning.
