Mystic Realm Natives

"What? You think we wouldn't know about the world outside the Mystic Realm when you outsiders come here every ten years?" The old man said.

And he continued, "You know, the people of this world— the natives… Our ancestors also used to live in the outside world, but they decided to live in this world instead, isolated from the outside world."

"Huh? But how's that possible? I thought we only have a month inside the Mystic Realm before we must leave?" Yuan spoke in a dazed voice.

"Hahaha… Sure, that's how the Mystic Realm works nowadays. However, that wasn't the case during the ancient times when people could enter the Mystic Realm at will and without any restrictions." The old man said.

And he continued, "The Mystic Realm changed when it got an owner— who turned this place into a massive trial of sorts, implementing the rules that you're experiencing now."
