Qu Quan, Will, and Jake found themselves standing in the middle of a bustling medieval city street, surrounded by perplexed townsfolk going about their daily lives. People gasped and pointed as the trio materialised out of thin air, causing quite a commotion.

"Where are we?" Qu Quan whispered, her eyes wide as she took in the unfamiliar surroundings.

Will glanced around, his brow furrowed. "This doesn't look like the tutorial at all. Did something go wrong with the teleportation?"

Before they could ponder their predicament further, a tall, middle-aged man with a long beard and a friendly demeanour approached them. He wore a leather vest and a weathered traveller's hat, giving him the air of a seasoned adventurer.
