"What's that smell?"
Myne's nose wrinkled at the foul stench of blood and decay. Looking around, he found himself in an abandoned bus. The source of the smell and the sticky crimson was a uniformed corpse sprawled in the aisle, surrounded by a dense cloud of flies that indicated it had been dead for quite some time.
Besides him on the bus were five other living people. They blinked open their eyes with confused expressions, and floating nicknames appeared above their heads, confirming they were players like him, also part of this team dungeon.
However, while Myne observed his teammates, his gaze snagged on a familiar figure attempting to conceal himself with a long robe.
"Ah, hello buddy, we meet again," Myne said, a playful smile playing on his lips.
The game lacked any avatar modification function, so everyone looked exactly as they did in real life. Coupled with the floating IDs, recognition was easy, even if someone had unusual physical features.
