Chapter 163: Attack of the Protagonist (15)

When K3 regained his consciousness, he realized that he was present in a completely unfamiliar place in his physical form. His last memory was a battle with the players in the yard of an abandoned shrine.

K3 found himself in a blue-gray world that had a metallic feel to it. He could not logically predict the actual size of the space around him because his sense of distance was fuzzy. The slate of blueish grayness on the horizon was a wall or the floor—it was hard to tell. In the sky, there were several red, floating strands of data trailing about. They were of indeterminate length and seemed to reach beyond the horizon. From afar, they looked to be immaterial objects, and their shapes would change from the refraction of light based on the angle of observation. In this relatively simplistic world, they worked as quite beautiful decoration, but they were probably worthless as a point of reference.
