"Ugh..."
Skyler's eyes fluttered open. Dazed, he lay for a moment on the cold grass, amidst the familiar tall trees, under a dark sky studded with sparkling stars before muttering.
"What happened...?"
His mind was hazy, and his whole body ached so intensely that he felt as if a truck had run him over. He remembered climbing to the peak of the mountain, using the map to find the direction of the Gate that would lead him to the next level.
Then, he recalled sneaking towards the dragon's cave to claim the golden gate he couldn't take the first time. He easily took it, all thanks to the dragon who had destroyed the entire structure of the cave.
After that, he remembered happily running towards the Gate, carrying his harvest. But why couldn't he remember what happened next? Everything went dark suddenly.
