Under The Earth Over The Sky 소설 & 이야기

The ground beneath their feet was solid, and the sound of rustling leaves filled the air. As they made their way through the Earth Realm, they encountered various earth creatures that inhabited the realm. Alex used his earth manipulation to control the terrain, allowing the group to pass safely. Allan’s shadows provided cover, shielding them from the creatures. The earth creatures were massive, hulking beings made of stone and dirt. They moved slowly but powerfully, their eyes glowing with an ancient wisdom. Alex's control over the earth allowed him to redirect their paths and create barriers, keeping the creatures at bay. His connection with the earth was evident in every movement he made,

"Right. Let me start by saying that this place that you call the Underworld is not hell and it's not heaven. This is earth—just a side of earth that you've never seen." I tried to digest that. "Think about the ocean and all the sea creatures that live and die there without ever walking on land. That's how it is with the Above and the Below. We don't intersect. And if you ask me who made that law, then I would ask you who decreed that fish don't breathe oxygen and humans don't breathe water. It is what it is. Do you get that?" I nodded, too stunned to speak. I snapped out of it so that she knew that I understood. "I get it. This Underworld is just another layer of earth."

The spirit world opens like a breath of eternity—vast, endless, silver light stretching across a sky with no stars, only the pale glow of the eternal moon. The ground beneath is neither earth nor air, shifting like mist yet solid enough to hold the weight of souls. It is beautiful, serene… but heavy, every breath filled with judgement.

It was a landscape of dreams. The ground under their feet was not rock, but something that shifted between solid stone and swirling mist. The air was thick with the scent of ozone and deep earth. Above them, instead of a ceiling, there was a sky of swirling, molten light, the color of a dying star. In the distance, they could see the shapes of the Titans.

Above them, the sky stretched wide and endless. And somewhere deep beneath it all— The bond pulsed. Unbreakable. Unchosen. Unstoppable. 🩸

As soon as the white light appeared, the figures of Samuel and Yvonne reappeared in the underground space of the membrane. "Hua!" When Yvonne looked around, there was an uproar of her. This was not an underground space, but a huge underground city. They used the earth as the sky and the earth as the ground. The height of the space was about 100 meters. Later, they spread around at this height, seemingly endless. In short, they couldn't see the end of their surroundings. Naturally, they couldn't tell how large it was for the time being.

She made a motion almost like puking. Shit. I was going all Alpha again. I held up my hands in a gesture of surrender, and she nodded sharply before going to speak with her instructor. She pointed up to the ceiling, and I followed her finger up, but there was nothing but structural beams with a few climbing ropes tied to them. Looking back to where she stood, I saw her instructor nod. Her smile widened.
