Chapter 349: Trapped (1/2)

”Argh,” Alex slowly opened his eyes. His head was dizzy and he could feel a bit of pain on the back of his head. He sat up while rubbing his head.

”What hit me?” he couldn't help but ask out loud. He looked at his hand and was relieved that he wasn't bleeding at the very least.

'Did my armor save me?' he wondered. He could tell he had fainted due to the attack and was a little surprised.

'In the first place, why did I even faint? Isn't the capsule supposed to automatically log us out when we faint?' he questioned. He immediately remembered why.

”Ah right, I changed to the helmet after the maze run. How long have I even been asleep for?'. He checked the corner of his vision and saw that it was half-past 6.

'I've been out for about an hour huh?' he thought.

He looked around and tried to see where exactly he was. He remembered being around the mountain of monster corpses, but now there was nothing.

In fact, rather than saying there was nothing, he was more accurate to say that he could see nothing. He was inside fog and the visibility was less than 3 meters in front of him.

He tried to send out his spiritual sense, but for some reason that didn't work. After around 5 meters of distance, he could no longer tell what he was sensing or even tell what direction that sense was in.

”What the hell is happening?” He started to get worried. He frantically looked around, but there was truly not a single hint out there.

Alex started running away from where he was so that he could get out of the fog, but the moment he started walking, he would get a little dizzy. It was like the whole world around him was moving with him in the center.

It was all very… disorienting.

Since he was having a hard time going around due to the disorienting sense, he decided to simply walk while blocking all sense. He started walking in a single direction and didn't stop. He walked on for nearly 10 minutes when he finally opened his eyes to check.

He was still inside the fog.

”What the hell?” he was surprised. ”What sort of place am I at? Is this a formation?” he worried.

”Oh, you catch on very fast,” a voice came from somewhere.

”Who?” Alex immediately turned around towards the direction of the voice, but then realized he couldn't tell what the direction was.

'That voice…' he thought and frowned. ”High Prince Zexi,” he said.

”Oh, you know who I am now, huh?” Zexi spoke right next to his ears. Alex flustered and walked away from the man.

”Wh— What do you mean, High Prince? Why did you bring me here?” Alex tried to act. He knew for a fact that Zexi couldn't see past his disguise unless he gave it away.

”Oh, you seem confused, little guy. Check your hair,” Zexi said.
