Waking Up

Rudy opened his eyes and saw a beautiful starry sky. He was lying somewhere on the ground, but he couldn't feel anything.

He tried to move his body and sat up, but his body didn't respond. He could hear the wind gushing through the forest, hitting the branches and leaves.

He glanced around with his eyes and realized he was in a forest. But something seemed strange. His body felt hollow to him, as though he didn't have a body.

Regardless. he could see his body with his eyes.

The scenery was unfamiliar to him, but the feeling wasn't.

'Have I been here before?' he asked himself.

He tried to remember what had happened after his battle with Asura.

'I manifested a human body for myself, but my powers leaked again and then… then I… lost consciousness. But why am I here? I was in space, far away from any life in existence.
