Ethan’s Gamble

Ethan didn’t know where he was, or what had happened to him after his attempt to save Lily from being hacked to death by the warrior who was supposed to be protecting both of them.

He was unable to move his body, but he felt very light and comfortable. In fact, he felt so relaxed that he didn’t even want to open his eyes and was tempted to continue sleeping instead.

However, a voice filled with contempt reached his ears, which prevented him from falling into the darkness that wished to keep him forever in its embrace.

“How long do you plan to sleep? Do you want to wake up only when Lily is already dead?”

After hearing these words, Ethan forced himself to open his eyes.

What met him was complete and utter darkness. It was so dark that he couldn’t see anything, even his own body.

But, a few seconds later, a faint light appeared in front of him, taking on the form of his appearance.
