I WAS The Rank–1 Hero

How am I able to put all these thoughts into words?

The first question left my mouth, I couldn't even process it.

Ylthea smiled, her gaze was patient.

'She' didn't answer immediately, as if allowing me time to gather all my thoughts.

I clenched my fists. My mind raced.

I recalled the Essence explosion, the overwhelming surge of power, and then… this place.

"The last thing I remember… I was absorbing an enormous amount of Essence, but then—" I frowned. "What happened to me? How did I end up here?"

If this wasn't a dream. If this wasn't some kind of illusion—then where exactly was I?

But that wasn't the only question burning inside me.

I looked up, my voice was quieter this time.

"And you…" My throat tightened. "You vanished from this world. Sera says so. Then… why?"
