Waiting for New Opportunities

Swoosh. Zoom. Swaah.

Aksai held his breath as the Barrier-bypass talisman began to work its magic on the isolated barrier.

The talisman glowed brightly in his hand, and the gray fog started to part, creating a path forward. The intricate Essence Equation runes etched into the talisman pulsed with energy, guiding the process.

"I hope it's a world filled with artifacts. I need better artifacts," Aksai murmured to himself.

For a few exhilarating moments, he watched as the gray fog receded, revealing a glimpse of the new land beyond. He could feel the presence of the new world beyond the ethereal gray fog, even stronger than that of Martial World Sharang.

But then, without warning, the talisman's light began to dim. The vibrant glow that had been pushing back the gray fog flickered with uncertainty. Aksai's heart sank as he saw the Essence Equation runes start to fade away, losing their sharpness and clarity.
