Chapter 3 Ding, ding, a chiming noise like a bell, or perhaps a warning bell, sounded loudly, making Cline and me jump in surprise. "Ah..." "What's this!?" We shouted at the same time and stared at each other, both of our eyes wide. Both Cline and I were immersed in a clear blue pillar of light. Past the blue veil, the plains in my vision blurred steadily. I've experienced this a few times during beta testing. It was a «Teleport» initiated by an item. I didn't have the prerequisite item nor did I shout the proper command. Did the operators initiate a forced teleport? If so, why didn't they even inform us? As my thoughts raced, the light around me pulsed stronger and darkness overtook me. As the blue light faded, my surroundings became clear again. However, this wasn't the plains lit with the sunset anymore. A large road paved with stone. Medieval streets surrounded by street- lamps and the huge palace radiating a dark light a fair distance away up ahead. This was the starting point, the central plaza of the «Starting City». I looked at Cline who had his mouth wide open next to me. Then at the bustling layers of people that surrounded the two of us.
