The Author's POV

"The world looks peaceful, doesn't it?"

While I trailed Matthew from behind, I looked around at everything that was going on around me. The world, as he pointed out, was quite different from the world that I lived in.

People running around with smiles, no gates or demons to worry about…

It was extremely peaceful. Enough to make me jealous.

'Is this how the world would've been if Jezebeth and the demons never existed?'

It was rather good.

"You think too much."

Matthew smirked as he looked at me.

"True, the world looks peaceful, but that's merely what you're perceiving on the surface. Reality is, the world is a lot less idealistic than you'd imagine."

He continued forth, and I followed from behind him. He didn't elaborate further, but he seemed to be hinting at something.

I honestly didn't understand his words. When I looked around me and saw the world, which appeared to be in much better shape than the war-torn world that I was a part of, I had a hard time believing that this world could be as terrible as he hinted at.

'Merely what you're perceiving on the surface…'

Was he hinting that something big was happening in the shadows?

"We're nearly here."

The first thing that caught my eye in the distance was a familiar skyscraper. It was a building that I had frequented in the past, and its appearance in this world was identical to how it appeared in the world that I belonged to.

'The Union Tower.'

"We want justice!"

I heard faint chants in the distance.

'At least, that part of the Union Tower didn't change.'

Be it my world or this world, there'd always be a couple of people protesting there.

The further we went, the louder they got, and it wasn't long before I had a better grasp of what they were yelling.

My expression changed a little.

"Life imprisonment!"

"Sentence those criminals to the death!"

"Kill them!"

Hearing the contents of their words, my brows slowly furrowed, and I looked toward Matthew.

"What's going on?"

Were some big time criminals being persecuted?

The reaction seemed rather extreme.

"You'll see."

Matthew merely smiled at my question and continued moving forward.
