Chapter One What's the Price?

Chen Yu fired his gun.

The gunshot carried energy that effortlessly tore through Vidal's body. The swollen, punctured things from Vidal's body all fell to the ground, scattering about. Chen Yu even caught sight of the mining cart, the rails of the cart, and even a large boulder. It was hard to imagine what Vidal had gone through to survive.

[3000 Energy Points have been collected]

The announcement from Radiance popped up, but Chen Yu showed no sign of happiness. Three thousand energy points were low, but for Vidal, who was on the verge of dissipating, it was proof of his desperate fight to survive.

Vidal was dead. From the moment he fell into the spatial interlayer and had no choice but to consume those energy substances to survive, his death, or rather his ash-to-ashes fate, was sealed. Because when an ordinary person's soul consumes such things, there's a price to pay.
