A World of Her Own

Venera had unknowingly passed through the barrier and was now falling under the pull of gravity. Down into the abyssal waters of the lake.

However, what greeted her was not a splash but her lightened body.

Or rather, her consciousness was pulled away from the shell, called her body, by something… something unknown.

Was her soul robbed out of her body? Did she die without knowing it? After all, the black lake is called the Lake of Death for a reason, right?

Venera also did not know, nor was she sure of her guess.

Her head felt heavy, but her feet felt light as she now found herself stepping on flat ground.

In fact, saying that she was stepping on the ground was not quite right. She was actually in some sort of pitch-black space. The darkness seemed to stretch to infinity.

All around her was as black as ink, as far as her eyes could see.

Where had she gone to? Has she fainted in real life and is now in this strange dream, perhaps?
