Beth had stepped out of the system's world only to see a bunch of people peering down at her from all sides. Was she dreaming? She thought in confusion. She blinked twice, shielding her eyes from the light coming from the direction of the half-hidden sun. And that was when she noticed that they were living, breathing figures who were standing before her.
The matron's brows creased in disappointment as she narrowed her eyes at her. Beth gulped, getting up from the ground in haste. She had possibly looked as if she were sleeping. Thankfully she had been leaning against the rotting tree when she had accessed the system. If not, it would have looked odd.
She recognized a few faces that surrounded her. They were servants from the harem that she had been avoiding all day. What were they doing here? She wondered. Seeing that she was slightly disoriented, one of them stepped forward, pointing a finger towards her.
