Hm…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trailed off, his crimson eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time since our conversation started, he looked genuinely troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's weird,\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was extra careful to close all the rifts connected to the White Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone had lost its usual playful edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...So how the hell did I miss that one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Well, of course you wouldn't….'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I adjusted my grip on Cheshire as I kept running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That rift inside Covan Cave wasn't connected to the White Realm in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need for him to know that the rift was actually a spatial remnant—one of the last relics left behind by the Grand Magus Archmage Lavine Chronos before she sealed herself away in the astral planes of space and time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could tell he was intrigued by the thought of missing such an important rift, but I wasn't about to give him the full in-game lore dump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That information wasn't relevant right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple explanation would do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It might be because the rift I entered didn't emit any connective energy to this place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheshire narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how come you're here right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just thought about finding Senior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheshire let out a slow, exaggerated sigh, his tail flicking in amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Well, ain't that stupidly romantic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if it was a wild spatial rift like you described, then I kinda get it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His red eyes gleamed with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A wild rift without designated coordinates often lets your thoughts and will guide your destination…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his head, giving me a mischievous grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though it's still insanely dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze flickered over me, as if finally taking in my full body as intriguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's actually a miracle that all your limbs are still attached, Riley~.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, the rift inside Covan Cave was originally designed as a hidden fast-travel mechanic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players could use it to teleport to almost every major location in the game, though only once per in-game day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had been worried that its intended effect might not work when I hurriedly stepped inside, especially since this wasn't a game anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I guess I was worried for nothing…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it would've been far better if I had been teleported directly to Senior Alice's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, I couldn't complain too much, given how urgent the situation was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Queen had moved faster than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I clenched my jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew I shouldn't have ignored Senior's serious expression yesterday—it was a rare trait she displayed whenever she was dealing with a hidden problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no use regretting anything now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenario might have played out a little differently compared to the game, but the White Queen's strategy remained the same: separate Alice from Cheshire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze flickered to Cheshire, who was steadily gathering mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I had purified the effects of the Vorpal Sword using my Divinity, Cheshire's poisoned soul would still take time to fully recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would take a while before he could fight freely, but he should at least be able to activate [Wonderland] for a couple of minutes in case of an emergency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn't have time to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If my guess was correct, Alice was already fighting right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was strong—there was no doubt about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, she had likely awakened her [Red Queen] abilities, but even that wouldn't be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not against the White Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially if the Hatter and the White Rabbits were there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Cheshire regulating her power, it was only a matter of time before she reached her bad end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fate of death… just like mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything about Senior Alice's bad end was slowly falling into place, just like it had in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realization irritated me to no end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clenching my jaw, I hastened my movement, pushing more mana into my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I activated my skills in quick succession—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill: Blink Step – Activated!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill: Dashing Sprint – Activated!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woaaahh~~~~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheshire let out a startled scream as my speed surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fate and death—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two words that annoyed me the most right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two words that dragged up unwanted memories of that trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time within this realm moved differently from the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even within this place… time flowed inconsistently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I needed to hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Note: The blessing within you is waking up…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I clenched my fists, feeling something stir deep inside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cheshire,\" I called out, my voice steady despite the urgency. \"Expand your mana and guide me toward Senior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheshire, sensing the seriousness in my tone, didn't bother with his usual snark. Instead, he nodded silently and let his mana spread outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the few beings capable of altering the rules of this maddening realm, he was the only one I could rely on to find Alice through the thick mana interference the White Queen had placed here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, his voice rang in my ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go straight, Riley…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That direction, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before us stood a mountain-like white castle, floating ominously in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its sheer presence sent shivers down my spine, warping reality itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place really was insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if that was where Alice was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then my hunch was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill: Golden Lightning – Activated!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of blinding gold energy crackled around me as my speed exploded once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pressed forward, calling out to the being resting deep within me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Valeria… wake up.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now was not the time for hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now was the time to save the person who had given me a reason to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a reason why you were always by my side in every playthrough I had in [Hero's Legacy.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter the cost no matter the downsides you were always there...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who brought a smile to my face when I had nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who made everything interesting and fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bright figure that made me hope for a better future...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light that was always by my side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hidden heroine destined to die…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No. Not anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to rewrite that fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For your sake—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would risk everything I had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Failing Dorothy was already enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, I'll make sure you get your happy ending, Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SWOOOSHH!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My body shot forward like a streak of golden lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wait for me, Senior….'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WOOOOOOOSSHHHH!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield trembled under the weight of an unrelenting war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the vast white lands, a colossal battle raged on, shaking the very foundation of reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skirmishes erupted like wildfire, spreading chaos in every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towering structures crumbled in mere seconds, their remains vanishing beneath the storms of magic tearing through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screams and war cries echoed across the land, blending into a cacophony of destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic clashed relentlessly, crashing into every corner of the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blinding explosions of red and white painted the skies as the sound of metal colliding rang like a thousand fireworks bursting at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth screamed and cracked, shattering beneath the weight of battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skies roared with thunder, streaks of red lightning crashing down in response to the chaos below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An army—divided into red and white—stood locked in endless war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A battle so grand, so devastating, that one might mistake it for the recreation of ancient legends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above it all, she stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lone red witch, her presence an unyielding beacon amidst the storm of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She adjusted her crooked witch's hat, her body trembling, pain crawling through her every limb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood dripped from the corners of her mouth and eyes, staining her pale skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes—glowing, bloody red—stared forward, filled with unwavering determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very space around her warped and twisted, unable to contain the immense energy surging within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet—despite the agony clawing at her soul, despite the pain screaming in her body—she did not waver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her wand remained raised, her grip steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She trusted her knights and armies to hold the lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ignored the relentless throbbing in her heart, pushing through the exhaustion, the pain, the overwhelming urge to let it all end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she couldn't afford to stop now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across from her, the White Queen smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold, knowing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, too, stood unfazed amidst the blood-soaked battlefield, her white robes untouched by the war raging below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gleaming staff rose, pointed straight at Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the first time they had encountered one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no words between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a reunion between mother and child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reunion that had turned into a battle for survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their mana surged—clashing, intertwining, consuming the sky in a storm of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next chapter of
