[Teaser] DCO Chapter 7 Part 4

 

TEASER CHAPTER 7 PART 4




He was speechless about the scenery that unfolded before his eyes.

Nozomu's face was still dumbfounded, his eyes were fixed on the strange scenery that had spread out before him.

 

"Where am I?"

 

Grasslands were painted by an endless shade of darkness.

There were trees with no leaves and only branches here and there, and he could barely feel any breath of life at all.

Trees that look like towering, rotting trees. The grass underfoot also looked somewhat different.

When he stepped on the grass, it shattered like a piece of glasswork with a crackling sound.

 

"What is this? It's not even a plant, is it? It's like an artificial product that resembles a plant......"

 

Nozomu looked up and gazed at the sky.

Despite the cloudless sky, there were no stars in sight.

However, in the sky, which was tinted the same shade of black as the ground, five gigantic moons were shining brightly.

The moon was dyed in five colors: red, blue, green, brown, and black. Only the rainbow-like moonlight illuminated the dark meadows.

 

"No matter what I think, this isn't Arcazam. I wonder what is this place..."

 

Nozomu spoke to himself as he gazed at the eerie scene.

As he recalled, he fought Ken and have no memory of what happened afterward.

He probably fainted, but he was at a loss in the face of a scene that clearly did not seem real.

When he raised his face and looked into the distance, he saw a glowing red light over the horizon.

 

"Is that a fire? ... But isn't it too wide?"

 

A blazing red flame shining in the distance.

Considering that it was beyond the horizon, the scale of the blaze might be enormous.

 

"Come to think of it, what about everyone..."

 

Remembering his friends, Nozomu looked around.

However, there was still no sign of life in the jet-black wilderness that stretched all the way to the horizon.

Despite the vastness of the space, not even a breeze was blowing, and only an eerie silence dominated the area.

 

"There is no one ... Not even a sign of animals around..."

 

A world that had come to a standstill, where no one moved.

Nozomu's whole body trembled as he realized that he had been thrown into an eerie world.

 

"... Nothing will change if I just stand here."

 

With nowhere to go and no idea how to break out of his current situation, Nozomu decided to go towards the red light that shone beyond the horizon.

That was the only goal he had in mind.

Hearing the crunching sound of grass under his feet, Nozomu continued moving forward.

 

"Hmm? What's that?"

 

After walking for a while, a strange building jumped in front of Nozomu's eyes.

And not just one. After he took a closer look at the surroundings, he could see towering objects here and there in the wilderness.

Nozomu approached one of them.

 

"Is this a gate? But it's obviously suspicious."

 

An object constructed of black stones in the shape of an arch. Although the overall image was not clear due to overgrown stems and grass here and there, the shape clearly looked like some kind of gate.

Upon closer inspection, there was a faintly shining curtain of light at the mouth of the gate.

However, there was nothing behind it. Just the same wilderness he had been walking through.
