355 New, wonderfull world (2/2)
Thinking about it… I never thought about the differences between earthly illness and those available in store for this world! Even if my body was probably immune to most of them with how high my resistance statistic was from the moment I transcended and got Bonger to activate, that didn't apply to the others!
With no medicinal knowledge about this world, all I could do was to take preemptive measures against any plague spreading, unless I was ready to replace the population of my small world every hundred years or so!
Ditching all those thoughts aside, I took my first step. Then second. Then third.
I could feel Heila involuntarily tightening her hands around my arm as we finally stepped through the threshold… Only to completely hang herself on my hand when the scenery changed from the blurry insides of the tower to a sunny field, decorated with occasional young trees and combs of flowers.
The only, clearly unnatural thing visible in this entire place, was a small wooden hut, standing at the foothold of a mild hill, with three burly men busying themselves with tinkering with wooden planks.
”What is this place…”
Unable to comprehend the tranquil beauty of what she was seeing, Heila could only stare into the distance, with tears starting to form at the bottom of her eyes.
I think that after everything she had to go through, hell of the slave camp and even bareness of the island when she first managed to either see it or confirm it with her own body when she got ashore, this green place filled with clean air infused with a considerable amount of mana had to appear like a damned paradise for her!
”Welcome to my small world. From now on, this will be the home of all your folks who followed me.”
As if some kind of prophet announcing the opening of the gates of heaven, I freed myself from her grasp, took a few steps forward and declared, while spreading my arms wide. To be honest, the elated expression on her face when she couldn't help but just stay in place and gaze at this intricately beautiful world felt like if I painted a picture and got someone to compliment it for the first time!
Seeing her blissful smile, I couldn't help but be reminded of Eve. Heila's current expression was painfully close to how my fiancee used to look at me, whenever we shared any moment of our life.
Unable to hold back the sadness, my mind attempted to fight it off by betting on the arousal, suddenly flooding my mind with the pictures of this silly girl moaning under me while in the higher floors of the tower.
Wait, floors? Tower?
Out of nowhere, the gate that used to be just beside us, suddenly vanished, only to appear about three meters further away, with Jessie coming out of it. Right after this, more and more people continued to appear, always three meters further away from the tower than the previous guest.
