"Stand back."
Every beast in the settlement took a very large step backwards.
Tera stood in the clearing with her arms slightly raised, feeling like an idiot. She had no idea what she was doing.
She had wanted to find some time to practise how to open the portal, but for some reason, her cubs had transformed into fierce gremlins who would not give their mother a moment of peace and wanted to cling to her every chance they got.
It was even worse now that they were trying to talk, with the only clear word they could mention being "mama". And they spammed that word like a machine gun when everything else failed.
And now the wolves were about to leave, and she only knew how to summon this thing in theory!
But she still asked the system to be extra sure before she closed the portal by mistake and sliced someone in half.
["( – ⌓ – )]
[Host, that will not happen]
’Then tell me how it works exactly!’
[(꒪⌓꒪)]
[But this is the fifth time]
Tera glared at the system.
[ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ]
[Host simply needs to focus on the destination]
[This system will handle the spatial connection]
[Think of where you want the portal to open, and this system will lock on to the coordinates from the recorded map]
[My scanner cannot go beyond a specific range]
[But this system has saved locations and maps of places Host has been to]
’That’s it? I just think about where I want to go?’
[Yes!]
[This system handles all the complex dimensional calculations]
[Host just needs to provide the destination]
’So, I am the steering wheel, and you’re the engine.’
[This system prefers "the genius behind the curtain"]
[But sure]
[Don’t worry, Host’s head will not fly off when entering the teleportation portal]
[ꉂꉂ◟(˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅๑)༡]
Tera rolled her eyes. Why was the system acting as if it hadn’t broken her trust at times?
She then focused and pictured the Glimmer pack’s territory.
’I want it in the wolf pack’s territory. Open it where I woke up after Calis had taken me there.’
’And I don’t want it in a crowded area. Won’t be a good idea to scare every wolf into cardiac arrest.’
[Locking coordinates...]
[Location confirmed!]
[Whenever Host is ready!]
’I am ready. Why else would I tell you—’
The air in front of Tera shivered. It was subtle at first, like heat rising off hot stone, a faint distortion that made the trees behind it look like they were being viewed through uneven glass. Tera wouldn’t have even noticed it if she hadn’t been staring directly at the spot.
Then the distortion widened.
The air split silently, and a vertical shimmer appeared and started to spread out. Tera felt it was too small and, to her surprise, it widened even further.
’Whoa!’
[Host can manipulate the size of the portal at will!]
’Oh!’
Tera focused a bit more, and it shrunk and widened as she wanted. But through the rippling surface, Tera could finally see the other side.
The Glimmer Pack’s territory.
’Oh, shit. It actually worked.’
[Of course, it worked!]
[Did Host doubt this system?]
’Absolutely, yes!’



’It worked!’
