Bab 531: The Other Guy

*A few days ago*

(Brendan POV)

When we stepped through the portal, I was a little worried when I found myself alone in what appears to be a dungeon of some sorts.

Within the cells of the dungeons were various men who had seen better days, all of them tortured or beaten to half an inch of their lives.

All indicators point that I should try my best to get out of here.

I tried the door to my cell and, alas, it was locked. At least I had no cellmate to worry about.

Why would anyone lock an unused cell though? Must be some really paranoid person.

When I tried to use my Techniques to break out of the prison cell, I realised I could no longer sense or manipulate any Quarks.

I couldn't even circulate my Quarks to activate my storage ring, making me think that there was some kind of Quark suppression inscription of some sort that is stopping me from using any Techniques.
