Crimson Shade [3]

The Crimson Shade.

A phenomenon that spread across the Mirror Dimension, leaving no clear information about its origin, only that it scorched everything it laid its touch upon. 

Looking around me, the world had turned completely red. 

Tzzz~ 

Steam started to rise out of my body as I channeled my mana. 

But that wasn't my main concern. Looking down, and staring at the roots that were entangling my feet, I felt suffocated.

Notifications continued to flash across my vision. 

I felt the sound of my own heartbeat drum in my mind. 

A certain dread took hold of me, and a weird tingling sensation traced over my face. 

'Just what is...' 

By the time it took me to blink, the roots, alongside the sensation were gone. 

"Haaa.. Haaa..." 

So was the fear. 

With heavy breaths, I leaned against the bookshelf and recomposed myself.
