The Man's Decree

After an indeterminate amount of time, Jared opened his eyes and found himself unexpectedly in a massive cave.

The entire cave looked expansive, and the sound of running water echoed from within. Jared shook his head to relieve his dizziness. At that point, he had no idea where the void fracture had taken him.

“Mr. Vermilion, where are we? Are we still in the Ethereal Realm?” Jared asked, turning to Vermilion Demon Lord.

“You should know I could only sense the outside world through you, right? How am I supposed to know anything when you were unconscious just now? Besides, I’m just a soul remnant in the void fracture. What could I possibly know?” Vermilion Demon Lord replied with a glare.

“You could have just told me you didn’t know nicely instead of losing your temper,” Jared muttered to himself. He must be mad because I refused to let the Vermilion Demon Lord control my body. But I’m the master of my body. How can I simply let him take over as he pleases?

As Jared scrutinized the cave, he was consumed by an indescribable feeling.

He hoped to be transported back to the mundane world, yet he was also filled with apprehension about returning to it.

After all, there were still many things waiting for him to accomplish in the Ethereal Realm.

In addition to those awaiting him in the mundane world, there were also others waiting for him in the Ethereal Realm.
