The doll gallery

Expecting to find himself back in his original body, Zick slowly opened his eyes. 

What entered his sight were two red eyes that looked right at him. For a second Zick's whole body went stiff from goosebumps. 

Blinking his eyes, he felt the mysterious feeling go away and regained his senses. 

The two red eyes belonged to a doll the same size as him. This doll had a pensive expression with blonde hair cascading behind her. 

'Where is this?' Zick looked around warily. 

He was in a dimly lit room, which had many dolls of different shapes and expressions. But no doll had any positive emotion on their face, all were having a pensive or rather intrigued look. 

In the full-body view mirror in the corner of the room, Zick was able to look at himself. 

He was back in his original appearance and had peak rank knight strength.
