The Author's POV

"Brrr, it's cold."
Coming out from the portal, Ava hugged her body as she started to shiver. What greeted her sight upon coming out from the portal was a vast flat land of white. Upon closer look, in the distance, she could see three majestic peaks reaching out for the sky.
'That should be where we should be going.'
Similarly emerging from the portal, Hein curiously looked around.
"Is it?"
Swooosh-!
A cold breeze suddenly blew, and Hein's hair and clothes blew back.
"Aren't you cold?"
Ava asked as she looked at Hein. He was currently wearing a white short- sleeved shirt that exposed his muscular arms, and body. The more she looked at him, the colder Ava felt.
"Cold?"
Hein raised his head to glance at his surroundings.
"...A bit?"
There was a trace of doubt in his voice, leaving Ava dumbfounded. What is he made of?
Ava shook her head. She shouldn't be surprised at this point. Everyone in the mercenary group was a weirdo. Herself included.
"Burp."
Not even a second after she came to that conclusion, Leopold came out of the portal. In his right hand was a bottle of whiskey.
"I'm starting to see how Thomas is addicted to this stuff."
Raising the bottle in his hands and taking down a big gulp of the drink, Leopold's cheeks flushed red.
"Haaaa..."
"This..."
Alternating her gaze between Leopold and Hein, Ava's legs started to weaken. Massaging her forehead, Ava took out her flute and blew on it.
Tootle too-
The moment her lips touched the flute, the mana around her started to distort as three red wolves materialized in front of her.
Without further ado, Ava hopped on top of one of the wolves and shouted.
"Let's get moving you two. We don't have much time."
Following her words, the wolf started to move. Hein and Leopold finally recollected themselves when they saw Ava move into the distance.
"Wait up!"
"Burp...we're riding wolves? Nice."

Click-!
With a subtle clicking sound, multiple heads wearing white masks dropped on the ground in front of me.
"That's fifteen for me."
The masks belonged to a species of monsters known as Soulmasks.

They were essentially a parasitic type of monster that was usually harmless when it wasn't attached to O, another monster. The key word here was attached. Once they managed to attach themself to their prey, they would take control of their body and increase their power by a lot, making them an especially fearsome monster to face.
