"What was that?"
A sudden blinding flash caused Alex to open his eyes again, only to find himself no longer at the castle.
Instead, he was surrounded by skyscrapers and parked cars everywhere, the ones that looked awfully familiar to the one back on Earth.
From the sewer drain on the street to even the street lamp, it almost looked like some sort of prank being played.
But the moment he cast a small flame in his hand, he realized he was still in the fantasy world.
Suddenly, a loud explosion could be heard echoing down the streets, as if someone just cast an upper-level spell.
"God damn, I need to find somewhere to hide."
Alex quickly started running into one of the offices, only to find it empty inside.
He didn't care much about it, though, running straight through the building to get as far away from the noise as possible.
After what felt like a safe distance, he finally stopped as he examined his surroundings again.
