At the same time, the memories of what had happened before I sank into sleep returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised my hand and rubbed my face. \"How long was I asleep?\" It felt like only a few hours had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked beside me and found Izel still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lifted my head and stared at the dark expanse within this tunnel... perhaps the trunk of a giant tree as it had seemed to me earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was good that nothing had attacked us in the meantime... otherwise we would be dead by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at my ring and pulled out a vial of water before opening it and taking a few sips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt the cold water flow down my throat, spreading that refreshing sensation through my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once I finished, I returned the vial to my ring while casting a glance at Izel. \"How long are you going to keep sleeping?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to try waking her, but I decided to postpone it... it might be annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, I pushed myself up and stood on the sand, my feet sinking slightly. I felt fine now, and it seemed my mind had recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps I should thank this modified body of mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked toward the exit a few meters away. It was still night outside, so I doubted I had slept long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked out, sand scattering beneath my feet, until I emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, the vast desert bathed under the fractured moonlight before me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared carefully at the stars. Perhaps what I had seen earlier was merely delirium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with every passing minute, I saw them again—those constellations along with the gray moon... or its fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was almost certain now. \"This is truly Earth,\" I muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ran a hand through my hair, cursing my life. \"Damn it, how did we end up here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was that there had been nothing about coming to the ancient Earth in the original story, so this was entirely new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, I supposed I should throw the plot I knew into the trash now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed. \"Not like I was going to rely on it forever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rotated my wrist and looked at the tattoo there. The bond was still present despite all this distance separating me from the Key of Dimensions, yet it still rejected me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn everything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a simple mission turn into all these insane events?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I even looked at the spirit of a monster at the peak of Rank 7... and survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What an astonishing achievement compared to my age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, where are we now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the sand dunes... it looked as though we were somewhere in Africa’s Sahara, or the Empty Quarter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, that was assuming Earth was still the same, or hadn’t changed much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, centuries had passed since the Great Migration, and Earth might have undergone new transformations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But truly, what broke the moon like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was another important point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened to the others? I saw them enter the gate as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when I activated my ability earlier, I didn’t sense any of them nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they were thrown somewhere else since we entered at different times, but I doubted they would be too far from here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I exhaled as I moved the essence within my body and activated my ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, my senses spread everywhere, and the headache returned to my head, though this time it was mild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Information flowed into my mind as I scanned the surroundings... earlier I hadn’t paid attention to what was around us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had focused only on living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now I could sense everything... and there I felt the tree trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it wasn’t the only thing here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because behind it, I could sense many large objects... not alive, of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the trunk we had been hiding in before gathering some strength in my legs and jumping on top of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My feet landed on the solid surface of the trunk... well, or so I had thought until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking closely, it turned out to be white in color, and its surface did not resemble tree bark, but something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive broken bone stretching forward before sinking into the sand , its remaining part concealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there around it were many other bones... all of them dozens of meters in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were curved... others were flat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a graveyard of ancient bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared at them quietly. They all appeared to be monster bones or something similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sent some essence to my ring as I pulled my phone out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I held it and looked at its screen, specifically the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[20:12]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hadn’t checked the time before we crossed the gate, so I didn’t know how much time had passed since I arrived here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened the phone and entered the camera application, then raised it and took a picture of the graveyard of bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, I pointed it toward the sky and photographed the shattered moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was I doing this... I honestly didn’t know. Just a desire to photograph Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, I turned it off to preserve its battery for as long as possible before returning it to my ring. Then I lay down on the surface of the bone, placing my hand under my head as a pillow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And watched this beautiful sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should I do next?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know... I still don’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for now, I decided to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remained there until I felt something new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the hollow bone, someone moved and began to wake up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is going to be annoying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1058,"2026-06-02T09:38:17.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","e51cdbd556c8d2057e25459f0c3185a47e592e120964cff32e5ab8ab0a0cea26","reincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-chapter-64","reincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-chapter-63",183,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-cover.jpg"]
