The Author's POV

Wam―!

In the final moments before everyone left for Melendoir, the smile on Kevin's face slowly receded as he watched Jin's back slowly merge and enter the portal.

After Jin's figure disappeared, the portal gradually began to contract, and an eerie stillness began to spread throughout the space that Kevin was occupying at the time.

He did not move from his spot and maintained his gaze on the same spot where the portal had previously stood.

His eyes gradually closed, and the mana around him froze completely.

After what seemed like an interminable amount of time, Kevin finally opened his mouth and mumbled something.

"This is for the best. It looks like things are working in my favour."

Licking his lips, Kevin opened his eyes and turned around. Without so much as to say another word, he quietly left the room.

Clank―!

Melandoir, Hoag's Object Galaxy.

Crunch―!

As soon as I stepped into Melendoir, the very first thing that I was able to hear was the gentle crunching sound that was made by my foot as it pressed against the dirt beneath my feet.

My entire body had a heaviness to it that suggested the gravity of this world was significantly stronger than that of earth, but it wasn't really anything that hampered my ability to move about freely.

Perhaps it was because I had reached a point in my life where even ten times the normal gravity of the earth didn't seem to have much of an effect on me or because of something else entirely, but I felt no sense of real discomfort, which was all that mattered.

"Huuuuu..."

My hearing, smell, and taste gradually started to come back, and when I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the sight of a vast land that was covered by a red sky.

It seemed as though the grass in this location was even greener than in some of the earth's most scenic locations, and the large, towering trees were spread out across the landscape in such a way that they filled every available space in my field of vision.

"Quite different from what I imagined..."

In the beginning, I had anticipated coming across a location that was more analogous to the demon world―which I had once visited―but instead of receiving a world that was comparable to that one, I was shown a world that was absolutely breathtaking.

Was it possibly due to the fact that this location was formerly the primary world in which the elves lived?

...I wasn't sure.

"Haaa..."

I was about to turn around to look at the others when, all of a sudden, both of my feet came to a stop, and I closed both of my eyes.
