I opened my eyes and instantly realised I was in a different environment. I was inside some sort of room, dimly lit up by burning torches mounted on the walls.
My vision shook uncontrollably and a wave of nausea hit me hard. The teleportation sequence had started without warning, so I couldn't prepare properly.
Damn it. Why did the Fable start now? I thought we had a week to prepare. I groaned as I pushed myself off the rough ground.
Being caught off guard was the worst feeling, but with the System's unpredictability, there was no way to avoid it.
I glanced around and spotted several people retching— one, two, three... The crowd here was larger than I had realized, with at least ten people packed into this space.
Looking closely, there were men and women with Western features, Asians, and even a few distinctively Japanese faces scattered among the crowd.
Ah, right. This was the nature of the Fifth Fable.
