The Author's POV

"What in the world happened while I wasn't here?"

After Kevin teleported back to Immorra and saw what appeared to be an entirely flat land, he was at a loss for words and remained there for some time.

'...What exactly happened here?'

There was a smoky odor that lingered in the air, and the area of land in front of him was completely charred and devoid of any and all vegetation. The sky continued to be covered in ominous clouds, and a sense of gloom pervaded the entire planet.

The view that greeted Kevin when he arrived in Immorra was completely different from what he saw when he first arrived in Immorra.

"Did Ren do this?"

This was the first thought that crossed Kevin's mind when he saw the scorched land.

"Haa."

After releasing a long sigh, he reached into his dimensional space and pulled out a small communication device. He quickly activated it.

―Oh, looks like someone has finally decided to show up.

A familiar voice echoed from the speaker of the communication device.

Kevin's lips slightly curled.

"I'm guessing that you're the one responsible for this mess."

―Smart one you are.

"I know I am."

Kevin secretly rolled his eyes.

"Alright, come and get me. We don't have much time."

―Sure, sure, send me your location.

"I already did."

―Oh, right. Give me a sec.

As soon as those words were spoken, Kevin was hit with a gust of wind, and his clothes and hair began to flutter. A figure soon appeared in front of him.

"That was fast."

"Glad you're impressed."

Ren and Kevin exchanged a simple hug before Ren handed him a brown bracelet.

"What's this?"

"Put it on."

"...Okay."

Kevin obeyed Ren's instructions and put on the bracelet as he had been told. Soon after he had fastened the bracelet around his wrist, Kevin noticed a change in the surrounding area, which caused him to jump in surprise.

"Ho!"

"Relax."

Ren gave the tiniest smile as he turned his attention to the horizon, where he gazed at what appeared to be a large city encircled by a transparent yellow dome.

"The bracelet you are wearing enables you to see the city. A large camouflage system currently surrounds the city. This is to prevent the demons from discovering what is happening, and only with the bracelet can one see the city."

"...What?"

The shock on Kevin's face only grew the more Ren spoke as his mouth hung open.

'City? Camouflage system?'

What's going on?

As Kevin turned his attention back toward the city, he found that he was unable to utter a single word. He was beyond speechless.

In particular, he was drawn to the appearance of a particular structure.

The structure was surrounded entirely by glass and was designed to look like a large rectangle that jutted upward into the air. It was situated on the very edge of the cliff, and it wasn't particularly tall—there were no more than twenty floors—but Kevin could tell at first glance that it had been constructed with some very advanced technology.

Perhaps even beyond that of the human domain.

'The changes in the lower levels are just as shocking.'

Kevin observed, as orcs moved throughout the entirety of the lower levels carrying heavy rocks, that a large frame of what appeared to be extremely large walls was gradually beginning to take shape around the areas where the camouflage dome rose up.

The walls encompassed only a relatively small area of land, a radius of approximately twenty kilometers extending outward from the hill on which the large structure was located.
