Girl in the Hellish Prison of Worlds

(Author's note: This girl was mentioned at the beginning of chapter (232). If you don't remember the events, go back and review the chapter because this girl is important to the novel's plot.)

The truth you will realize in this world is that no absolute good or evil. Everything is relative.

The air is thick with the stench of rotting flesh and sulfur. The ground is scorched and barren, and the sky is perpetually overcast with a sickly yellow haze. Strange and twisted trees grow from the cracked earth, their branches gnarled and claw-like.

Finally, two months had passed. On that night, I was sitting on my bed, imagining what I would do after I escaped from this prison.

First, I would look for my family, for my older brother. Is he still sick so that he couldn't look for me? Does his chest still hurt?

How are my parents? Is everyone okay?
