A black sky above this barren desert with pure flawless sand, There are a number of pillars made of limestone, some of which are broken around
There is a giant hourglass 10 meters long in the middle of that desert, there is only a little left before the sand inside it runs out

Orter was standing in front of her, looking up, It's so cold that he could see his breathing, he wasn't looking at the sand flowing inside the clock, but for something was sitting on top of the clock, there was a black spider with red eyes with long, skinny legs looking at him from above as if preparing to attack, but Orter didn't move even a single step, he continued to look at that spider with cold eyes while listening to the sound of a heartbeat, there are loud beatings inside his head and he can't determine their source.

Where does this sound come from?  Whose heart is this?

The sand is flowing quickly. It will end in just moments. It seems that that spider is waiting for that hour to end, but that didn't matter to Orter as much as he cared about those heartbeats

When the sand inside the watch ran out, that huge spider quickly jumped towards Orter, but he didn't move or look away, he just closed his eyes

...

"Orter?"  Someone tapped him on the shoulder gently

The brown-haired man opened his yellow eyes, his head was on a wooden table with the book still open in front of him, he raised his head and began to look around, sweat was dripping from his face as he took heavy breath

'This shit again...'

“Your head fell on the table and you fell into a deep sleep for hours without even changing your sitting position. Are you okay?”  The bartender said before turning to another man who called him to pour him some drinks

Orter looked around, he was still inside the bar. Several customers had come in and the sun was shining

'Wait a sec.... the sun is shining...?'

The bartender turned to Orter again with a bright smile on his face
“Looks like your job is ha—... Orter..?”

He disappeared, no trace of him in the entire bar

You were fed up with Neri who didn't want to stop running, so you immediately jumped towards him with all your might and at the last moment you caught him.

"I finally caught you! you little annoying thing! Tell me!"
You both sat on the floor and you started shaking his shoulders forcefully as if he were a doll

"Someone help me!"  Neri shouted

"No one will help you until you tell me!"

"Oh, hello, is this Y/N?"
A female voice was heard

You stopped shaking Neri who looked as if he would lose consciousness shortly and looked towards the source of the voice, It was a tall girl with hair that fell to the end of her back, her clothes and flashy hairstyle made her look like she was from the noble class

“Oh... you...” You looked at her feeling disgusted

"How are you? Oh! Why are you wearing the Sand Cane coat?"

"none of your business"

The girl put her hand on her waist ostentatiously
"You know, y/n? I didn't expect that you would be accepted here, Oh but you were actually accepted by a miracle and not by choice! Your presence here will not change the fact that you didn't succeed like us!"
The girl burst out laughing provocatively
