The usual rush of adrenaline that followed any jump into a rift was there, but something else lingered in the air, something darker, heavier.
His crimson eyes flickered as he took in his surroundings.
The red stone ground beneath his feet was jagged and uneven, and in the distance, lava rivers could be seen flowing.
'Devil's Abyss, heh~' Stark smirked, 'I guess I'm in hell.'
Stark stood up straight, scanning the area for Lana and Sora.
They had jumped into the rift right before him, yet now there was nothing, actually, there was no one.
He waited a few moments, expecting to hear their familiar voices, or at the very least, the sound of other students landing around him.
But the silence stretched on, filling the air with an eerie emptiness.
"...Where is everyone?" Stark muttered to himself, his senses sharpened as a cold chill ran down his spine.
