When Liam appeared, the first thing that greeted him was silence.
He noticed that he was surrounded by trees that towered endlessly, their trunks impossibly thick, and also plants. And they were all alien to him.
He glanced around calmly, eyes narrowing, as he extended his telekinetic sense outward. His mind spread across the forest in a perfect sphere, brushing against everything within twenty meters—roots, trunks, soil.
The feedback was immediate: trees, vines, insects, and animals of strange anatomy—but no sign of humans or civilization.
He sighed quietly, the corners of his lips twitching upward.
"Really, system? A forest again?" Liam sighed softly.
He rose lightly into the air, levitating through the dense canopy. The branches brushed past his shoulders as he climbed higher, until he finally broke through into open air.
The view that greeted him was vast—breathtaking in its scale, yet suffocating in its emptiness.
