Chapter 152

• The sun blazed overhead, painting the sky in shades of red. The desert floor beneath my feet radiated heat, and around me, there was nothing but sand. I kept walking aimlessly, lost in this endless desert, with a restless feeling deep inside—like I was searching for something… or someone. That’s when I saw it: a massive black wolf, sitting atop a rock. I walked closer and followed its gaze, fixed on the vast emptiness ahead, completely expressionless.
• “Why are you alone?” I asked, my voice hoarse.
• No answer. Suddenly, the ground gave way beneath me, and I found myself falling into an abyss. My heart ached—not from fear of the fall or the unknown, but from the thought of leaving that wolf alone again. Looking around, I realized I wasn’t the only one falling. Dozens of people were plummeting with me, their faces twisted in panic and horror, their screams echoing through the void.
