Ian slept until that evening.

When he woke up, all he saw was a beautiful mountain view with a shade of red draped over it. Confusion filled his mind. H-How did I end up here?

"You're finally up. Doctor, please come."

A middle-aged woman was sitting beside him and guarding him.

That confused him even more.

Truth was, he was already a little overwhelmed when he escaped because Karl's "teachings" had already dehydrated him by then. Karl was never harsh, but Ian was too stubborn. He refused to voice up or complain the entire time he underwent his training.

That was why Karl assumed that Ian could take it and gradually made things more difficult.

That night, Ian had fallen asleep as soon as he returned to his dorm.

He had no idea what happened next.

He didn't even remember how an insane thought kept running in his mind, telling him that he had to leave that torturous place. Before he knew it, he had already grabbed his phone and left the place.

So... where am I now?

Confused, Ian stared at a middle-aged woman with clothes so washed out that she looked like a beggar.

"He's up? Okay, let me examine him."

Soon, a middle-aged man with a pair of mud-tainted pants entered. He reached out as soon as he saw that Ian was up.

Ian reacted by instinctively moving away.
