Blinking, Agra found himself standing in the middle of what could only be described as the dead lands. The whole experience was different. He didn't fall, he just... effortlessly appeared like he was always meant to be here.
The trees around him were almost dead with no leaves nor life coming from them. All it had were these long thick black thorns that seemed to be some kind of a defensive mechanism to nobody knows what.
The air around him was thick and heavy, full of magic but not in a healing and purifying way. It was dark and corrupting that made Agra to realize just how quick he needed to get out of here, before the unknown strikes
He tried to look around, seeing if he could sport anyone who they could help each other on getting out of this place, but to his surprise, he found himself completely insolated from the rest of the group.
"Can I contact any of them?" He thought out loud while looking at the computerized bracelet on his wrist, but the idea of contact other teenagers suddenly flashed down the toilet as he didn't have anybody's contact information.
He was all alone, and with how everything around him seemed to be screaming nothing but danger, Agra knew that he had to be well prepared for anything, but that's where the problems struck.
His wind magical attribute was striped off the moment the anomaly awakened in him, and although he still had ice magical attributes, he wasn't sure if he could surely use it, as the system did not display the most important piece of information when it comes to magic utilizations.

Agra had to just summon the system screen to confirm this again, and he wasn't wrong.
The system did display any mana points, the core factor when it comes to casting spells, so having ice attributes within him was completely pointless, like giving a blind person a mirror to look at cuteness of their reflection.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath in hopes of wanting to connect with the mana within as he was under the influence of denial, but nothing to have shifted as having no mana just meant having no mana.
"I need to get out of here." He muttered while looking towards the sky to find some kind of celestial navigation, but this left him at a complete despair situation by what he saw.
There was no sun, no moon, no stars, not even heavens above, only a suffocating void drenched in a luminescent crimson glow that bled from unseen sources, painting the world in hues of dread.
Chunks of land floated like shattered worlds, drifting aimlessly in defiance of gravity. Some collided with thunderous groans, others hung motionless, suspended as if held by invisible chains.
Agra looked at everything in despair. He was alone with no way of contacting the others. He was defenseless with a magical attribute that he couldn't utilize, and to worsen everything up, he didn't even have a way out.
He couldn't shake this feeling as he felt like this world was never always like this. He felt like it was once full of organic life before something massive took place that changed it to its current state, death, terrifying and certainly not anywhere where anybody would wish to be.
If that was the case, what happened to the life that dwelled here? What happened to those that lived here? Were they destroyed, or were they just mutated and evolvef to survive the current situation of this world?
Worse, if they were mutated, were they friendly, or were they something that Agra needed to worry about?
Such questions running in his mind left him completely perplexed, but one thing above it all was certainly clear. He wasn't safe.
Although one might have considered staying in this forest might have been a little safer to him since it was providing some kind of a hiding ground, it was still one of of the dangerous places since he couldn't tell if something was, as well, hiding from him.
Thus, he knew he needed to get out of here as quick as possible and walk to some open lands so he could have clear view to his surroundings. But still, he just couldn't walk out of here just as like that, now that he couldn't cast any sort of spell.
He walked to a tree next to him and decided to break some thorn as he could use them as some kind of a weapon to protect himself.
He looked around, searching for a proper thorn that could perfectly suit his gripping as this was matter of death and life, and he couldn't go with just some random guesses and assumptions.
Soon, he found some perfect thorn to fit him, but just as he gripped the thorn ans ready himself to break it, the tree suddenly shifted as two red bloodlust eyes popped wide open.
Agra remained frozen for a moment as the weight of the bloodlust pressed on him hard. He just couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried to, and in that moment, the tree's eyes remained fixed on him, surprised as if it wasn't expecting to see such a creature of his kind at a place like this.
The two remained glancing and sizing each other up for about 30 second before the tree finally made the first move.
Flinching again, a black thorn suddenly shot from it's trunk and headed direct towards Agra's chest.
It was fast, piecing through the with a deadliest hiss that promised a critical impact, but just as it got close enough, instinctively, Agra performed a touch down broken rizz to dodge the attack, thanks to the light trainings given to them from the camp.
