The Author's POV

Chapter 561

As Kevin and I gazed at the portal, a homing sound reverberated throughout the room.

Kevin turned to look at me.

"Should we go?"

"Wait."

I shook my head as I deeply gazed at the portal in front of me.

"…Let's just wait a little bit."

There was something about the situation that did not sit well with me at the moment.

After covering my mouth with my hand and slipping into deep thought, I turned my gaze to Kevin.

"Are you noticing anything strange with the system?"

"Nope."

Kevin replied as he gazed at the air in front of him.

The frown on my face deepened.

'Am I overthinking things?'

Perhaps I was, but considering what Kevin told me before, I thought there was something amiss.

'If Jezebeth is truly responsible for Kevin's system malfunctioning, might he be waiting for something? ...or was the last time just a fluke, and he couldn't do anything at the time?'

My mind was filled with so many questions.

Unfortunately, in light of the limited amount of information I had at the moment, I was unable to discern the truth.

"Ugh, this is frustrating."

I muttered to myself while ruffling my hair into a mess.

'This sucks.'

I was really frustrated by the idea of not knowing what was happening. Besides that, I also felt a little apprehensive about the whole trip.

Kevin's whole speech about the system not working had raised alarm bells inside my mind.

"...So?"

Kevin's voice echoed from beside me.

Patting Jin's back, I turned to look at him before gazing at the portal again.

Observing the portal once more, I once again inquired.

"...Are you sure that there is nothing wrong with the system?"

"Doesn't look like it."

Kevin shook his head in response.

"...Alright."

In the end, I relented after a few seconds of observation and seeing that he was being completely honest.

"It might seem overly cautious of me, but we should both take some precautions just in case something goes wrong."

"As in?"

"As in we should wear this."

Taking out a couple of small devices from my dimensional space, I passed one to Kevin. It was a small black pin. One with golden engravings in it.

As he stared at the same device, Kevin wondered.

"What's this?"

Looking at Kevin, I placed the device on the right side of my shirt and did the same for Jin who was passed out on my shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

Once I was done putting on the device, my face twisted slightly.
