The travel with a teleportation portal was quick like lightning, crossing thousands and even millions of miles in less than a second. It was one of the main reasons why this world is way better than earth.
It was simply ahead of its time because of the soul force that gave them these supernatural abilities and also cut short the time wasted on other unimportant things such as traveling for long distances. That's why people were able to do things faster.
Acht opened his eyes again after he made sure the teleportation was over. What assaulted his eyes was neither strong lights nor a shiny sun. Instead, he only saw a dark place.
He was somehow in the nighttime even though he was in broad daylight a few seconds ago.
What he assumed at first when he came to this world was that it functioned like earth where there are time zones and different parts of the day in different places at the same time. However, he soon discovered that it was not like that at all.
The continents in this world are pretty much close to each other to the point where when the sun appears, they all see it at the same time which destroys any kind of time zone concept.
So, assuming that fact wasn't wrong, this place should not be at night at all.
However, he had already an answer to the reason for this darkness.
"So this is Evernight." He muttered with a cold look.
The city looked like Las Vegas from his previous life. A place where all kinds of cruel sins and hidden entertainments are everywhere. A city where people could indulge themselves in all kinds of obscene things for the sake of enjoyment.
He gazed at the city from this far and eyed the lightened streets filled with people walking back and forth.
From one look, he could see casinos, hotels, brothels, and bars without even trying to search for them individually.
The shiny lights of this city made the dark sky basically a decoration and nothing else since it was
As he was inspecting the place, one of the Nightingale members stepped up and said with a casual tone.
"Welcome to Evernight city. I hope you enjoy your stay here."
"Stop talking like a fucking idiot and let's go. The boss is waiting." The other answered as they started walking followed by Acht who also ignored the other one.
They then found themselves in the streets of Evernight and the smell of all kinds of drinks and other bad things assaulted Acht's nose.
He was already aware of the origins of these smells as they were passing by a brothel. Acht could see hookers walking near the building trying to attract customers with their sexy clothes and beautiful bodies.
But, he ignored them totally the next second since he didn't care about such things with this small body of his.
After walking for 15 minutes, they found themselves in front of a small door to a slightly small building in a corner of the city where not many people passed by.
The building was small but it looked beautiful from the outside with a small sign that said 'Melody Of Dreams Bar' right on top of the door.
Acht didn't follow the two people inside immediately as he kept looking around warily. But, he couldn't sense any danger lurking around so he sighed quietly and entered the door.
He then climbed the stairs to the second floor since there was basically no first floor at all.
There, he found another door made out of wood that had a glass window in it.
There was no other door so he entered that one without much thought.
The moment the door opened, he heard the sound of a bell that seemingly was triggered by his action.
Inside, he found himself in a slightly larger room that looked like a normal bar found anywhere. It was slightly dim but there was enough light to see basically every part of the room clearly.
Sets of chairs were aligned around a huge table made out of wood where the bartender works. A wall filled with all kinds of liquors and drinks was organized beautifully behind that table and all kinds of equipment for making cocktails.
Soon enough, his eyes landed on the people in the room. There was one standing behind the bar, making drinks and three were sitting there seemingly waiting for the drink.
They all didn't wear masks so he could see their faces clearly.
"Damn, this day was hectic as fuck. I had to deal with a lot of shit. Old man, hurry up with my drink!" Lein said with a grunt of clear displeasure.
"Stop complaining, Lein. Or is getting your ass handled by that red-haired woman that annoying? Hahahahaha!" A man answered her with a loud chuckle, mocking her.
"What the fuck did you say? That bitch didn't even touch a strand of my hair. I could've killed her easily if I didn't have to fight inside that stupid illusion domain that you created. Stupid fuck!"
"Yeah! Yeah! Everything you say is right." He rolled his eyes.
"Yo-"
"That's enough."
The third man interrupted them loudly as he unleashed his aura. Acht almost felt himself suffocating because of it but he was able to handle the pressure quickly.
'Such a strong aura.' He thought.
"It's not time to act like children. Now, shouldn't you take care of the new guy? He's been standing there for a while." He said as he took the drink from the old man's hand and sipped from it.
"Oh, yeah. Jack, you deal with him, I can't be bothered." Lein said with a snort.
She seemed to hate Acht because of their previous interaction. But, the weirder thing is that she doesn't seem to remember him at all even though they have met previously, twice.
"Pfft! You and your lazy ass! Anyway, you can come in, Acht. I will introduce you to the others." Jack said.
