Asher woke up with a gasp as he found himself in a dark room surrounded by stone walls, lit only by torches hanging on them, giving off a faint orange glow.
Then Asher felt his hands tied together above his head by chains, and he couldn't feel the spirit essence flowing through his body, as though his dantian had been suppressed. His brain finally realized that he had been captured and imprisoned.
When he tried to speak, he discovered that he couldn't, and not only that, but his whole body felt numb, making it hard for him to even move his fingers or toes.
At this moment, he couldn't understand what was going on. All he knew was that he was imprisoned in some unknown location, unable to move or talk.
