"Herag! David! Reese!"
Bannings called out the names of the three.
The trio came before the Light Gate.
"Just walk in, no need to be nervous," Bannings prompted.
Herag nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped into the Light Gate, followed closely by David and Reese.
As soon as Herag entered the Light Gate, he felt a strong pull drawing him in.
Ahead seemed like an endless abyss, pulling him continuously forward.
A force behind also tried to drag him back.
But under the influence of the Light Gate, the pull ahead was stronger, pulling him completely forward.
In an instant, a bright light filled Herag's eyes, and he found himself upon a stone array surrounded by wooden huts.
"Welcome to Expedition Team Base 27."
Herag turned his head at the voice, discovering it was a tall, large man speaking, who looked to be about five hundred pounds.
"You three must be the newcomers from the Barren Land?" the large man asked.
