Alex's body reformed with a violent flash of light, and the next instant, he crashed onto solid ground. His knees buckled, and he staggered, clutching his chest.
"Hah… hah… what the hell was that? For a second, I thought I'd lose my mind. Was that really just teleportation!?"
He gasped for air before forcing himself to look up. His breath caught in his throat.
Before him shimmered a massive gateway, its archway woven from molten gold and obsidian steel, radiating a pulse that wasn't just seen but felt in his very bones.
The system's voice echoed in his head.
`[Host, it looks like the sanctuary of a god. I can sense divinity saturating every grain of air here.]`
Alex grinned despite his ragged breathing, then looked toward the door. 'Yeah, no kidding. This place is insane! By the way… that gateway looks so freaking cool!'
`[You're acting like a child, Host.]`
