Empty World

[The Present]

The world was empty.

I could not see or sense a single living being for thousands and thousands of miles, and even after I spread my senses towards the very edges of the world, I still found nothing.

… I found no one.

"What in the world happened here?" I mumbled, my wide eyes almost swallowing my face in shock as I stared at my comrades.

However, they were just as speechless and surprised as me at arriving in the world we called ours, but finding no one in sight.

"Maybe… this isn't our world?" Edward blurted out, but it seemed that he was trying very hard to convince himself more than he was the rest of us.

"The coordinates weren't messed up. They haven't failed before." Kuzon sharply responded, his face slowly melting into anger. "Plus, there's no way you can't sense it, right? The resonance you can feel around here…"

Kuzon was right.
