CH555 Mysterious Old Man I

Sometime earlier…
Light cascaded across Alex's face, prompting his eyelids to quiver.
Soon, his eyes opened groggily as he regained consciousness after suddenly blacking out.
Opening his eyes to the sky above, Alex felt an odd sense of déjà vu. He recalled the day he first opened his eyes in this new world.
He had been taken aback —even slightly fearful— by the way he had been brought here, but beyond that there had been a strange sense of ease.
An emotion he had not truly felt in a long time during his workaholic life.
Not even the myriads of web novels, games, literature, and other forms of entertainment had been able to give him that feeling.
'Wait… fear?'
The memory of how he lost consciousness suddenly came flooding back. His awareness sharpened instantly as he took in his surroundings.
He realised he was still within the arid desert, enclosed by sky-high monoliths on every side.
