A Glimpse of the Future - Part 1

"W-What the hell is this!?"

Leon's heart pounded as cold sweat seeped through his robes.

No matter how hard he tried to make sense of the situation, he simply couldn't understand why he was here.

"Is this illusion magic? Am I trapped in it?" he wondered anxiously.

The conclusion seemed reasonable, but he wasn't entirely sure. As a hero, he was immune to illusion magic—unless it was extremely powerful, like ancient-level magic.

In the inner palace, only Liliana was capable of using such magic.

Did that mean she was behind this?

The thought alone felt absurd and impossible. Liliana would never do such a thing—he was certain of it.

Leon forced himself to calm down, steadying his breath and slowing his racing heart.

Once he felt more composed, he looked around and realized he was alone. Charlotte, Stella, Iris, and Fiona—none of them were here.
