When I woke up, I felt refreshed.
The slight dizziness, the pulsating temples, the lethargic body, and feeling irritable—all symptoms due to lack of sleep—were completely removed. It felt like I was reborn.
"How long was I asleep for?"
I muttered as I looked around.
The surroundings were still dark, and the temperature was cold. It must still be nighttime right now. I packed the sleeping bag inside the storage ring before using [Shadow Movement] to leave the basement.
"...!"
The moment I saw the scene above ground, I knew that I was screwed. The village, although dilapidated, should be standing proudly as a testament to the time that has passed. But now it's gone completely.
'The Demon Tamers must've passed by here earlier!'
I quickly lowered my stance. Although nobody was present in the visible range, I stayed vigilant nonetheless.
