From the MC's Perspective:
The familiar hum of energy coursed through the air as I approached the Teleportation Platform. I could feel a slight tingle on my skin as the platform's activation sequence began.
With a soft hum, the world around me distorted, the surroundings blurring before snapping back into focus, and I found myself standing in the Headquarters courtyard, the cool breeze of home brushing against my skin.
Taking a moment to steady myself, I began the walk toward the Headquarters building. The mission had been fraught with peril—monsters lurking in the shadows, and worse yet, the warriors whose greed and hunger for power made them just as deadly.
The hunting teams prowling Alpha City were a constant threat, their movements unpredictable, their alliances fickle. Going back there without inside information would be suicide. I clenched my fists, reminding myself that it wasn't just the monsters out there that could end me—it was those gangs.
