Talk with Zero

As the darkness vanished, Alex found himself standing on a wooden deck overlooking a crystal-clear lake nestled in the center of a jungle, and at the edge of it, a man could be seen seated, holding a fishing rod, with a bucket filled with ice and drinks, and an empty chair next to him.

Alex's thoughts were muddled, and he had tens of questions, but knowing Zero already knew why he was here, he silently took a seat next to him and took a moment to calm his mind.

"It's unbelievable, right," Zero said after a moment of silence.

"Indeed, it is," Alex said, his mind filling with a chain of questions, realizing that any response to his inquiries would only lead to trouble.

"The event is real, and so will be the time difference, and the people of various power systems, those fortunate enough to enter, will find themselves inside the realm."
