When the minotaur was rampaging around the plaza, Adam who was barely conscious was being carried to a safe place but before he could be brought into a room, the shockwave created by the monster's attack made the ground quiver violently and Adam fell violently.
Thud!
Adam's head slamd on the ground but it was not the cause of his loss of consciousness.
He was still breathing but sothing odd happened inside of his body and soul without anyone noticing so he wasn't even aware that a minotaur had appeared.
'Huh? where am I?' Adam thought, seeing the vague forms of lights dancing in his field of view but even though he wanted to move, he couldn't feel his body.
Then, his sense of sight cleared little by little, revealing a scenery that didn't make any sense at all because if it did, then it would an that he died for the second ti.
'Is this heaven?' He thought, feeling like he was drifting in an infinite dark space where the sense of ti was vague and everything around him was painted with astonishing hues that appeared to be moving slowly, but at the sa ti, looked like the aftereffects of taphysical bodies that moved faster than the speed of light.
Countless dots of lights covered this virtually mystic scenery and near Adam, two of such spheres of light were glowing brightly while the other ones seed to be millions of kiloters away.
'What are those? Do I have to choose one?' He wondered, looking around in that he could find more clues but he was already seeing his surrounding from every angle possible, so there was nothing else to look at apart from an empty space.
'Well, it doesn't seem like sothing will happen if I don't choose one of these.' Adam thought and decided to approach one of the spheres of light because nothing happened no matter how long he waited.
He even tried to move from where he was but it seed like he always ended up in the sa place.
He didn't even know if he was moving or he was just thinking that he was moving.
Thus, he touched one of the balls of light and as if Adam was being sucked inside of it, the scenery that appeared in his field of vision changed into pure white.

:::[Adam's POV]:::
'There are too many weird occurrences happening today...' I thought because I hesitated to choose if what I saw was real or a dream. 'What the hell is going on? Not long ago, I felt soone was controlling my body and now I am suddenly looking at a scene that looks like a dream but feels too real to be one.'
All of that happened I approached one of the spheres of lights, causing sothing extrely bizarre to occur.
At first, the mystical space changed into pure white space but then realistic images appeared little by little as if soone painted over the white background. 'This has to be a dream, right?'
The scenes that flashed in front of were extrely strange because it was as if I was watching a movie in 3D, but even that comparison was inaccurate since what I experienced was beyond that, feeling everything as if I was there myself.
Moreover, I was not looking at random things but a particular guy.
"Eva, do you want to have lunch with today? Just look at these, I spent three hours preparing them." A naive-looking guy said, showing the jar containing dried fruits that he held in his hand, and next to him, there was a bag full of other foods and utensils as if he was preparing to go on a picnic.
"I am busy today, and I keep telling you that I am not interested." A woman who had reddish-brown hair and wore a particular set of armor replied promptly.
I admit that she was very beautiful but her stubbornness and strong character could also be seen in her expressions because she didn't even spare a glance at the naïve-looking young man and continued to walk away after she said these words.
"I guess I failed again, hehe." The guy laughed wryly after seeing the woman's reaction and scratched the back of his head.
"What am I going to do with all of these?" He said, looking at all of the food that he prepared.
Looking at him, I felt like it was not the first ti this guy tried to earn the favor of that woman called Eva but all of his attempts seed to have failed.
I couldn't help but feel a little bad for him because I could sohow relate to what just happened.
'Why am I seeing this though?' I thought
but before I could understand what was going on, the scenery that I saw in my field of view changed into pure white again.
Then I heard the voice of nurous people shouting and cheering.
"Hail the Hero!"
"He is our savior!"
"He is a reincarnation of a God!"
Images began to appear in my field of view again.
This ti, there was a huge crowd and in the middle of it, there was a man, the guy that I saw earlier, wearing silver armor and having a sword attached to his hips.
He was scratching the back of his head embarrassingly again as he made his way through the crowd.
'What happened, how did he beco so popular?' I thought, looking at the guy who looked completely different from before
After he made his way past the crowd, he entered a majestic-looking building and approached Eva, the red-haired girl.
"Eva, did you see that? People are treating differently now. It seems like my hard work paid off." He said with a smile on his face and I kind of felt bad for him. Maybe it was only my opinion, but I felt like he was bad at communicating with Eva.
"Yeah, I'm happy for you," Eva replied, still looking indifferent but her tone sounded a little bit gentler than before.
"And, you know, ah, I, I was thinking about the fact that we didn't have much ti to rest lately, so, you know, if you would like to, how about the two of us go eat sothing later?" The guy answered. He fidgeted while saying these words and I was the one who felt embarrassed looking at him.
"…I'll think about it," Eva said, turning around and leaving without stopping.
'She is a tough one...' I thought, looking at her but she was my type. It seed that at least the guy had good taste in won.
As soon as Eva's silhouette vanished from the scenery, the guy's face bead with excitent and happiness.
"Finally, finally she said sothing she'll think about it. I am glad that I saved a lot of money for the sake of this day." He said, and I sohow understand how he felt as if I was in his place. I could tell that the guy loved Eva.
'Thought, it will hurt if she treats you as a friend, in the end, man...' I thought, recalling my experiences with won.
After that, the hero dashed sowhere and the scenery turned white again.
'Is this so kind of vision or prophecy? Or am I seeing sothing that is happening sowhere in a different universe? Still, I am clueless about the reason why it's happening...' I thought, deciding to look for clues.
I also felt like I was in this place for a long ti but sohow it shouldn't be that long.

:::[Third person POV]:::
While Adam fell unconscious, two people were watching what was happening on the plaza from the top of a certain building far from the plaza.
"Th-this is a level 6 monster?" Balista said, with a slightly trembling voice. He had never seen such a monster in his life and so he gasped at the sight of the minotaur. "But still, what are we going to do now?" Balista added and looked at the man who stood next to him.
"We are finished here. Let's move out of this planet," replied Randolph with an indifferent tone. It seed like he regained his calm and was satisfied after the appearance of the minotaur.
With this monster, Kepalta would be destroyed before soone from the Empire arrived to take care of the portal and the minotaur, or so he thought.
Randolph turned around and thought about leaving while Balista looked like he was still confused.
'What about my recompense in all of this?' Balista thought, following Randolph from behind, because Randolph's goal was already more or less achieved but his reward was not even part of the discussion most of the ti. 'Am I being sidelined by this guy?'
,m He had worked hard to obtain these two high-level artifacts because Randolph said that he was too involved with Empire to do so.
However, Randolph had that black stone with him which ant that he could achieve his revenge even without him, and when Balist realized that, an alarming thought crossed his mind.
Balista was stupid but he was not a complete moron so he managed to connect the dots. 'This guy, he didn't plan to let have anything in the first place. He intended to bla everything on after all of this ends,' he concluded.
It all made sense when he thought about what was happening from that and je understood what was going on.
"Randolph, you bastard, how dare you to try to fra ?" Balista shouted.
He was a level 5 gift holder but he wasn't afraid of Randolph who appeared to be a coward and weak since he couldn't forget about a single woman.
Then, he took a battle stance and was about to use his fire elental gift.
"Mmm? You only realize that now? As I thought, you were perfect for this job… Now you need to finish your work." Randolph said but he didn't even move an eyebrow when he saw Balista trying to intimidate him.
"You bastard!" Balista roared and dashed forward. His fists were covered by crimson flas and he was thinking about incinerating Randolph with one attack.
"Hmph! Die, you insignificant bug! Do you think that you are worth more than Julius or anyone else? You are just a dirty bug who only knows how to make annoying sounds." Randolph said then raised his right hand and slashed down vertically, creating a wind pressure that hit Ballista in the middle of his face and sliced him into two.
Thud!
Randolph was a level 7 gift holder and was as strong as Marcel so Balista didn't even stand a chance.
"Now my implications in all of this will be buried here with you," Randolph said, and he didn't even have an ounce of remorse while seeing the disgusting waste that Balista had beco.
Randolph just turned around and made his way to the entrance.
But it was at that ti when sothing unexpected occurred.
"I didn't expect soone from the Empire to be involved in this." A cold and yet attractive voice ca from behind and Randolph quickly turned around.
"Y-you are.."
