Chapter 40: Old Shawn
After a few hours, Charlotte and Stelle finally felt the call of the portal and began to follow it. Max was with them as he would use the same portal as they did.
The portal was just a hundred metres away from them, so they just met a single monster before reaching it.
The portal itself was a giant tear in space filled with spiralling darkness. They waited for it to stabilize before stepping inside it. They had already talked things through so nothing more needed to be said.
Max felt a little light-headed when he passed through the portal as darkness covered his vision for a second. Then, the chattering of people and a blinding light assaulted him, almost taking him by surprise.
As his eyesight adjusted to the sunlight, he found himself in the Central Plaza of Godshine City. Unlike the Royal Palace, other cities had a few portals at different locations.
Even though it was morning, the Central Plaza was bustling with activities as hunters came in and out of the portal.
Some noticed their arrival, but Max knew it was mostly because of Charlotte and Stelle. After all, they were the young misses of the Sinclair Clan, one of the two ruling clans of Godshine City.
As for Max, he was just like any other poor guy trying to become a hunter. His shirt was of poor quality to begin with and now it had many holes in it.
Because of rising in levels, his hair had turned completely black. But they were messy and dirt-filled. His sorry state coupled with the fact that he was carrying a makeshift bag with him made him look more like a porter than a hunter.
