Outside Cloud City, a short distance beyond its city area, lies the ruins of an abandoned residence.
Time had not been kind to the place. Its walls had crumbled, its roof had long since collapsed, and weeds had overtaken what was once a spacious courtyard. Thick vines crawled over broken pillars, while several trees had grown through the remains of the building, their branches spreading across the ruined structure.
At first glance, it was nothing more than another forgotten ruin.
However, beneath the dilapidated residence was a secret room.
Unlike the ruins above, the room was remarkably clean. Its stone walls had been carefully maintained, the floor was free of dust, and the few pieces of furniture inside were neatly arranged. There was even a small table with a broadcasting screen from the U-Phone placed upon it.
A man sat before the screen.
