As the light faded, Kain found himself lying on a soft grassy field, the warmth of the sun touching his skin. Around him, a vast landscape stretched out—rolling hills, distant mountains, and a massive forest to the east.
He took a deep breath, relishing the fresh air, so different from the polluted air of his old world.
[System Initialization Complete. You are now in the world of Altheria. Your journey begins here.]
Kain stood up and stretched. His body felt lighter, stronger, and overflowing with energy. Testing his abilities, he activated Divine Appraisal, scanning his surroundings.
A translucent screen appeared before him.
[Location: Verdant Meadow]
[Threat Level: Low]
[Nearest Settlement: Orlen Town – 5 km south]
"Orlen Town, huh? That's a good place to start," Kain mused, setting off toward his first destination.
The journey was uneventful, save for a few small creatures scurrying away as he passed. He could sense the energy in the air—magic. With Absolute Magic Mastery, it was as if the very essence of magic flowed into him naturally.
As he approached the town gates, he saw two armored guards standing watch. They eyed him warily as he approached.
"Halt, traveler. State your name and purpose."
Kain smiled. "I'm Kain. I'm an adventurer looking to register."
The guards exchanged glances before nodding. "Adventurer's Guild is straight ahead. Welcome to Orlen Town."
Stepping into the bustling town, Kain's adventure had truly begun.
