The Author's POV

Chapter 538

"Bwergh!"

As I gripped the grass, I felt my stomach churn and it wasn't long before I found myself vomiting on the ground.

"Fucking port—Bwergh!"

Midway through my sentence, I once again puked on the ground as I felt a sudden wave of nausea wash over me.

'It's always like this with portals and just when I thought I had gotten over it…'

It had been quite a while since I had last puked from a portal. After recently thinking I had become accustomed to it, I was disappointed to discover that this was only my delusion.

In the midst of my puking spree, I suddenly heard the sound of someone puking close by.

"Bwergh!"

Upon turning my head slightly, I noticed Liam in a similar situation to mine. As a matter of fact, he appeared in a worse state than mine as his face was swollen and tears were streaming down his eyes.

"Damned port—Bwergh!"

I felt a great deal of sympathy for him after seeing how badly he was affected by the portal.

'Poor hi—'

"Bwegh!"

"You guys…"

A helpless voice echoed while Liam and I were puking. It belonged to none other than Edward. The only one that seemed unaffected by portal sickness.

"H…how can you still stand?"

I managed to get out a few words when I raised my head to gaze at him.

It had to be noted that portal sickness was a very real thing that people suffered from, and the longer the journey, the more prevalent this was.

It was weird for Edward to be unaffected by this.

With a shrug of his shoulders, Edward answered.

"I just have a stronger stomach than the two of you."

"Ugh."

I groaned.

After that, it took about five minutes for both Liam and I to finally recover from portal sickness.

Once I did, I finally stood up and looked around me. Currently, we were in a vast grassland. Immediately, my gaze was drawn to the mountains on the horizon, which were surrounded by a sea of trees. The sight was breathtaking.

Taking a glance at Liam, I asked.

"Where exactly are we?"

"I don't know."

His reply was quick. But immediately after that, my face changed a little.

"…Nevermind."

'Need to make a mental note to myself about his bad memory.'

Tapping on my bracelet, I took out my phone and checked the top bar to see if there was any signal. Fortunately, it seemed as though I was in luck.

"...Two bars. Good enough."

Ding—! Ding—! Ding—!

It was at that moment that my phone started chiming repeatedly as over a hundred different notifications came in at once. It was a bit overwhelming as my phone froze up.

Furthermore, most of the notifications were useless as they belonged to some apps or were just s.

I quickly discarded those.

Halfway through deleting them, I noticed that I also received plenty of messages from the others.
