Returning to the Mine

"I'm excited already," Arthur said before heading towards the portal, to reappear again in the star map. The map was covered in fog as usual, and as he imagined the map of it in his mind, things began to be clear in front of his eyes.

"It feels like I didn't come here for a decade!"

Every single star here was covered in black color. "Are they still functioning?" he asked.

"Ding! All are either severed from here or being transferred into your garden. So your garden is acting like your middle world, supporting the map and helping organize things here."

"I don't fully understand it, but soon I will," he smiled before glancing over the back, where the first star, the one that began all this was lying there.

"Time to go back."

He moved leisurely without any stress or worries, towards the last star. The moment he reached there, he jumped into it, appearing again in the spacious warehouse.
