Darkness...
Feeling the darkness all around him, Elric couldn't help but start feeling speechless.
*Where am I? Could it be that I've passed out again?*
Waking up, the last thing that Elric remembered was putting in a last-gasp effort of attacks on the abyss demons before blanking out
"It seems I've either fainted or died due to the world source"
Realising this, Elric couldn't help but sigh in remorse. Obviously, he just got out from a grave, why is he entering one again so soon?
Thinking about the number of times he had fainted or died in recent times, Elric began to worry if he had developed some sort of strafe hobby.
"Haha, what are you thinking of Eric, first of all, where is this place?"
"It doesn't look like the small world neither does it look like anywhere I've been to"
Laughing at himself, Elric began to observe his surroundings.
Unfortunately for him, there was nothing much to explore
Darkness, darkness, and more darkness.
These are all the things that Elric would see while he surveyed his new surroundings
"Sigh… I knew this was never going to be easy."

Calling out to the void, Elric raised his voice expecting a reply. Sadly his wish didn't come true
All he got after repeated shouts was just silence as not even an echo could be heard.
"Damn! Could it be that I just have to stay like this till I wake up?"
Running out of ideas, Elric started to feel helpless.
However, just when Elric was about to give up and wait indefinitely for his body to wake up, a somewhat happy voice came into his ears
"Oh? Now, what's so bad about staying here."
"I personally like the darkness" said the voice
Turning his head to face its source, Elric unknowingly found himself stunned.
Unlike the weird tentacle monster who lives in the darkness that he expected, the figure behind looked like a normal human about two metres in height,
However, its figure couldn't be seen as it was currently emitting an extremely bright light.
Just looking at him, Elric couldn't help but feel dizzy. He suddenly wanted to throw up although he currently had no physical body
Thankfully, the figure noticed this and quickly waved his hand wrapping a layer of darkness over him.
"Ahh, I wouldn't look at me if I were you. After all, you're still a mortal."
In an apologetic tone, the figure quickly told him the reason directly.
"You're from the main plane right, so you must have heard the saying."
" 'thou shall not look at God directly?' well although I'm not a God the same things apply in this situation.
"No office, but as a mortal, your brain cannot simply process the amount of information contained in a God's body"
"Best case scenario, your brain turns to mud. Worst case your soul completely shatters eliminating any chance of revival"
Hearing the figure say something as outrageous s as his soul almost got shattered so nonchalantly Elric couldn't help but want to strangle him
However, it seemed that maybe it was because the figure lived alone in such darkness but he just continued talking without giving Elric a chance to ask questions.
"Although mortals cannot see Gods directly, but you as a human only felt a bit dizzy?"
"Amazing! I guess I was right pulling your consciousness in here"
"If before it was a guess, but I'm sure you're the one who can help me get out of this place!"
Hearing the figure speak Elric couldn't detect a clear feeling of joy in his tone.
Not only that, although just a few but from the figures' words just now, Elric already got some useful information.
First of all, for some reason, this being who has some qualities of a God although not a God is currently trapped.
And he was pulled here cause the figure felt that he was the key to releasing him from wherever he was.
However, considering if you wanted to be sealed or imprisoned, then your jailer would most likely be someone similar or greater in strength than you
This would mean if for whatever reason he help out and released this person in front of him, that meant he potentially had another God-level enemy on his list
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRealising this, Elric wanted to have nothing to do with this figure as much as possible given the fact that he currently had the God of light, Ares, and the abyss demons hot on his tail.
Unfortunately, before Elric could decide on what to do next, the figure's voice suddenly came to his mind interrupting his thoughts.
"Oh? Yes I forgot, how rude of me"
"Before asking you questions, you as the guest should ask if you have any."
"And don't worry, I'll answer to the best of my abilities after all I'm quite knowledgeable"
Being unexpectedly dragged into this strange dark space against his will and hearing himself being called a guest?
Elric couldn't help but roll his eyes.
However, if what this figure said earlier was true, then that would mean for the first time Ekric had the opportunity to get answers from a being on a similar existence to a God
Thinking of this, Elric couldn't help but imagine how many processes could be saved in developing a higher level of the wizard profession
Not only that, up till now Elric has had so many questions he wanted to find answers to since transmigration.
Looking at the figure in front of him, Elric realised this was an opportunity
However, taking a deep breath, Elric knew he couldn't rush things.
And judging from the fact that this figure pulled him in, he probably couldn't leave without his permission.
Thinking of this, Elric asked the figure a question that has been on his mind.
"First off, since I'm your guest, wouldn't it be polite of you to tell me your name?"
"If not, then that would be my first and second questions"
"Who are you and what are you?"
Facing this God- like figure Elric asked without fear
