Graveyard of Gods (5)

Wang Xiao might have believed it all to be just a surreal dream, except for one glaring confirmation of reality—the hollow voids where his eyes once were.

Instead of eyes, there was only darkness, an eerie absence that filled him with unease.

That sight left a bitter taste in his mouth.

In fact, he felt very weird.

The sensation was unsettling, a mixture of relief at his restored youth and horror at the loss that seemed permanent.

He reached up instinctively to touch his face, his fingers tracing the skin where his eyes should have been, only to confirm again that they were not there.

Hiiiiiiiiisssss!

At that instant, Wang Xiao's face twisted in sudden alarm as the earth beneath him vibrated ominously.

He was peering into his own unsettling reflection when the tranquility of the moment shattered.
