Rumble
For a brief moment, Holak felt as if the flow of time around him had abruptly stalled.
The air froze.
The sounds vanished.
Even the ground beneath his feet seemed to disappear.
It was as if the world had been suspended in an invisible void.
Holak felt completely weightless.
His body floated in a strange state, as if he were falling endlessly through empty space without gravity, without direction, without resistance. His limbs moved slightly, but there was nothing for them to push against.
It was the familiar sensation of planetary transfer.
Then suddenly—
Bam
Holak's body slammed heavily against solid ground again.
The impact was sharp, sudden, and unmistakable, as if gravity had suddenly remembered his existence and pulled him down all at once.
Dust rose slightly around his boots.
He steadied himself instinctively.
Then he immediately looked upward, searching for something.
When he found it, a wide grin spread across his face and he raised his voice proudly.
