The moment Liam stepped through the ripple, the world around him — his bedroom — vanished and he saw himself floating in the middle of outer space.
He saw himself surrounded by an endless, star-dappled void. It was like he had stepped into a magnificent painting.
The stars that shimmering in the distance looked so beautiful and it left Liam feeling awestruck.
For a moment, it seems like he forgot how to breathe. Not because he couldn't breathe — he realized with astonishment that he could — but because of the overwhelming scale of what he was seeing.
There was no ground beneath him or ceiling above him. It was just an infinite expanse of starry void.
Also, even though he was in outer space, he didn't feel weightless. His body was steady, as though invisible hands kept him anchored. Even his heartbeat sounded louder here, echoing faintly in the silence.
"Fuuu…" Liam exhaled softly, the sound vanishing instantly into the silence. "This is insane."
