    Getting up, Park Yeon found himself in a completely unfamiliar world: cylindrical mountains, mushroom-shaped trees, flowing clouds, a deep blue sky, and sunlight, but no sun in sight. Breathing was easy; the air was moist and fresh. All around him, the ground was covered in colorful wildflowers, a floral carpet. Ghost Fruit had warned him not to be fooled by the idyllic beauty of Tantan Planet, for many unknown dangers awaited him. Park Yeon had to survive here for ten years, clearing the land, struggling to survive, cultivating the Seven-Colored Fruit, surviving, harvesting the seeds to bring back to Earth, and saving his life. Time flowed eight thousand times slower on Tantan Planet than on Earth; ten years was equivalent to ten hours on Earth. If all went well, Park Yeon would return to his body after the first orbiting satellite reached the wormhole point. This was a higher-dimensional parallel space with an environment remarkably similar to Earth's: air, rivers, sunlight, and flora and fauna. However, Ghost Fruit's research on it was still limited to remote observation; Park Yeon was the first human to reach this strange planet. If Park Yeon-seo succeeds in this challenge, humanity will theoretically be able to achieve immortality. In higher-dimensional spaces, time flows more slowly, and the human lifespan will be infinitely extended.
