[Ding!]
[Welcome to the First Realm, Lord Crow]
Oliver's body materialized in the midst of the familiar streets of Alkarya. The bright lighting, the beautiful blue skies, and the clear, breathable air greeting him like an old companion.
This place was surely a step up in comfort and convenience compared to the suffocating presence of the Dark Castle.
Oliver yawned, stretching his hands high into the air, his joints cracking faintly from exhaustion. He turned one last time to the swirling portal behind him, its dark energy pulsing ominously, and smiled faintly beneath his mask.
"See you later, Eva."
With that, he left the portal behind, taking the usual routes as he headed to his first stop upon returning, which was meeting Jarvis to sell all his materials.
As he walked, he made sure to pay attention to his surroundings, watching the glances people gave him.
Only a few waved. Others paid little to no attention.
