After his figure was swallowed by the luminous mist, Taufik felt... nothing. No resistance. No weight. Just the sensation of walking through an endless void, silent and still, for what felt like two or three seconds. Then his foot touched something solid. Real. The moment of contact sent a jolt through his senses.
At first, he couldn't see. Darkness pressed against his eyes like velvet. But then, gradually, his vision returned, shapes emerged, color bled back into the world, and he found himself standing at the edge of an endless forest.
Towering trees stretched into the heavens, their canopies blotting out the sky in patches. Moss-covered roots twisted like serpents across the forest floor. A wild, ethereal energy pulsed in the air, ancient and untamed.
A soft [DING] chimed in his mind.
