Change

Liam shook himself from his train of thoughts and composed his mind and heart. He then once again closed his eyes and took deep steady breaths.

"No. Not possible."

He did it again and then again and then again. However, the results were the same. There was mana in the air. 

It was somewhat feeble, stronger than the density present in the nether realm but weaker than the one present in the Xion realm. And it was definitely not as strong as the mana that would be present later on.

"If this is happening…" Liam shuddered as if lightning struck his body. He then jumped out of the bed and ran to his window. He haphazardly flung open the screen and looked outside.

"No. Nothing." He did not stop there and immediately ran to their patio, looking out through each and every window of their apartment.

Only then he let out a sigh of relief and flopped to the ground. "So mana is here but the invasion hasn't started yet? What situation is this?"
