Ethan felt a sudden lightness in his body as his feet landed on jagged rocks. A swirl of color flashed before his eyes, dizzying and brief. When his vision cleared, he realized he was standing in an unfamiliar place.
Around him, people still looked disoriented, some even swaying slightly as they struggled to steady themselves. Ethan knew this was the lingering effect of teleportation. In that instant, he dismissed his combat mech and slipped into the crowd, blending in like any other traveler.
"Huh?"
A puzzled voice sounded beside him. Ethan turned and found himself staring into a familiar pair of eyes.
"Brother… you…"
It was Fatso — the chubby man with Soul Sense. He had recovered his senses faster than most, and naturally, he had noticed Ethan's sudden appearance.
"What are you looking at? Who's your brother? Get lost."
Ethan shot him a glare, his tone sharp and dismissive.
