It was early morning, yet Sovereign City was already full of life.
Despite being in a city, Hao didn't feel overwhelmed. It wasn't like Earth, where skyscrapers blocked the sky and everything smelled faintly of smoke and metal.
Here, the buildings were wide-spaced, the air was fresh, and the spiritual qi in the atmosphere made every breath feel lighter.
'It's… kinda pretty.' Hao smiled.
Of course, everything looked good.
That is - so long as he didn't turn around and glance at the narrow, dark alley they'd just stepped out from.
As he walked forward, a few passersby glanced his way. One or two even paused mid-step, spiritual sense brushing against him like invisible fingers testing his presence.
"…"
Hao blinked.
Was he standing out that badly?
Was it because he was just… staring around like some country bumpkin who'd never seen a city before?
His eyes drifted down to his clothes.
Ah.
He was still wearing the full uniform of the Dimensional Convenience Store.
