When Kir concentrated on the bubble surrounding them that he realized why he'd felt off. He closed his eyes...
This place didn't feel like the real world. It felt like...
... a dungeon.
Maledict sneered, appearing before Kir. "Come now, boy, haven't you learned anything?"
There!
A way in, if not out. Every dungeon had an aperture of sorts. Kir's had formed in contact with the Chainsfree dungeon, and through it, he'd had access to the boundless mana connected through every dungeon in the world.
