The surface of the previously calm portal suddenly rippled and lit up, indicating the arrival of someone. A woman emerged from within. Laras, who had previously entered the portal from the Wrap Point area. As a core member of the Alliance, she had exclusive rights to connect the public portal directly to the portal in her private residence.
"Welcome, Miss Laras," greeted a guard on duty. Even though this was a private portal, strict supervision was maintained to ensure security and prevent misuse.
Laras nodded and walked straight toward the house, leaving the teleportation area. Her gaze softened as she looked at the grand house in front of her. She had been away for several days and had just returned. The image of her mother, who surely missed her, flashed in her mind.
Just as Laras approached the door of her house, it suddenly swung open without warning.
