Light Green Gruer Orb

Rewen's eyelids fluttered as he opened his eyes with some difficulty. His eyes were terrifyingly calm. Surveying his surroundings, he found himself in a room with a familiar old man staring at him.

"How are you doing?" The old man crackled.

"I'm good…" When he tried to get up, he found out that his pain had subsided. "Forgive me for troubling you."

The old man swayed his hands. "It's of no big deal."

Rewen nodded, then got out of the bed. "Did the event start?"

"It started two hours ago."

'As expected.' Rewen had a grave face. "Thank you for looking after me. Can I be allowed to take part in the event now?"

"You can't."

"..."

Although Rewen expected this, he was still disappointed. 'But why is the Old King's face looking so odd?'

"You might want to check your pocket."

Rewen frowned, then checked his pocket. "The envelope isn't there." Calmly staring at the old man, he said.

"I didn't take it."
