"Where is this...?"
As Aiven gradually emerged from that mystical state and regained his senses, he found his consciousness had arrived in a vast, desolate, and decaying space.
As far as the eye could see, there was an endless expanse of rainforest.
Aiven easily recognized that most of the vegetation here was the type commonly found along the coast of the "Golden Sea", originating from the main living area of the former Kuma Empire.
Not only that, the rainforest was also dotted with flat-topped pyramids of various sizes and numerous "natural wells" serving as water sources.
Everything mirrored the original state of life among the Kuma People.
However.
The once lush and species-rich rainforest had mostly withered, many "natural wells" had dried up, resembling deserts, and even the pyramids, which should have withstood the test of wind and rain, were mostly dilapidated, with some completely collapsed.
