Stepping through the first gate, Max immediately felt a sense of discomfort pervade his being. His body was stretched as if caught between two dimensions. His vision doubled, his blood circulation faltered, and a nauseating sensation bubbled within him. The old technology, though operational even after five millennia, had its fair share of glitches.
Max grudgingly subjected himself to this disconcerting form of teleportation multiple times before finally arriving at the decrepit ship Kremeth had mentioned.
The teleportation had taken its toll, leaving him needing two full hours and several vials of blood and stamina potions to recuperate.
The old ship came preloaded with a destination, hence once Max sat inside and started the mechanisms with the special key that Kremeth had provided him with, it burst into action and began zooming through the universe at high speeds.
