Beyond the Map

The Virtual World — Welcome World · Extra 03

LYRIA checked the old parchment once again.

The red X marked a place beyond the mountains, far from the roads traveled by other adventurers.

She had followed the route for hours, crossing ruins and forgotten paths until she reached a ridge.

An immense valley stretched before her, cut through by waterfalls and bridges hanging over the void.

In the distance, a city rose among the clouds.

LYRIA compared the landscape with the map.

The spot marked by the X was right there.

She took a step forward.

A red warning appeared before her eyes.

OUT OF MAP

Unexplored Territory — Data Not Available.

“Out of the map?”

She looked up.

The sky above the city began to warp. A violet spiral opened among the clouds, while the floating structures seemed to bend toward its center.

LYRIA instinctively stepped back.

This wasn't simply unexplored territory.

Something out there should not have existed.

She tightened her grip on the parchment.

“This… shouldn't be possible.”
