I didn’t like the synopsis that was here before, so I deleted it. However, I can’t think of a new one right now, so I won’t be putting one up for the time being.

As for what I have to say about this—despite the beginning, this isn’t a story about systems or dungeons, at least not in my view. It’s not my intention to write that, despite the obvious nods. This first part isn’t even focused on action, to be honest. I’d wager you could count on the fingers of one hand how many dungeons Hye entered even after 130 chapters.

Portals were an easier way to explain what happens with the monsters, but that wasn’t the original idea. It was something I borrowed from works like *Solo*, for example, but it’s not what I envision happening in that world. Nowadays, I’ve already thought of a way to explain how things really work as I see them—in this case, without portals—but to change that, I’d have to rewrite the entire story, and, well, that would require time—a luxury I don’t have.

I hope you enjoy it, if you decide to give it a chance, of course.

Echoes of Hollow

Having been the one to discover the apple tree first and to report its transformation, Admetos was the one who ended up with the golden apple that Hye had been given. That was his reward—yet in his anxious mind, it felt like a test as well. 


And, in truth, Hye was curious to learn what effects something created directly by such a strange creature—apparently born of his own blood—might have. But a test? That idea never crossed his mind. 


Seated in one of the few arenas still usable, Admetos stared at the objects before him: a folded piece of paper and the golden apple. 


“Hm, but what if it’s dangerous…?” he muttered, glancing at the enormous tree whose glow was still visible even in daylight. “Maybe it’s even poisonous. And yet he wants me to eat this thing without even knowing what could happen.”
