They found nothing...and that's the most frightening.

"What do you mean the town is gone? It's only been 3 months, how did the town disappear with everyone in it? Was there an attack or something?"

"Calm down, calm down. Take it easy, let me explain it to you."

"No one knows when exactly It happened, but we know when it was first reported. A couple wanted to spend their 50-year anniversary somewhere special and decided to watch The Great clear lakes at night. So they left two and a half months or 10 weeks ago to the teleporter and take it at night to visit the lake. But when they turned on the teleporter and sent themselves to the nearest town...Something incredible happened."

"Rather than incredible feats or amazing displays, nothing happened. And that's what's most incredible of all."

"A teleporter will not work for only a very few reasons. The teleporter fell into disrepair because of poor management, the teleporter was destroyed on one side, or some kind of barrier was set up to block the teleporter."

"Two out of those three are very bad news, and unfortunately the only good one seems to be impossible."

"We know that it cannot be misuse and neglect because the last 20 people to use to teleporter on the same day as you reported that it was in perfect condition. Yes, after you was 20 more people who left on the teleport. They left a little bit right after you, about 5-10 minutes from you as they went to other cities."

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"But after 10 minutes from the time you teleported...everything went silent. No one had come out of the teleporter ever since."

"It can't be a barrier because people from the mercenary headquarters quickly got notice and did counter barriers, reconnaissance, invasion spells and equipment. But the results showed that it was not a third party intervening and blocking the way. So that leaves only one option..."

"The destruction of the teleporter, this was simply something believed to be impossible to do. There are guards all over the town with many of them being high levels with tiers and the leader himself being a rebirth 1."

"There are also the citizens all around that had many of them being mercenaries and not low levels either. If you are to attack the teleporter you must get through both the guards and the citizens."

"Unless the one to destroy the teleporter was somebody that was trustworthy and known to the town. But if that was the case they can send a message back through emergency channels of the mercenary outpost to headquarters. Being damaged a little can be fixed within a few days and major destruction would take a month."

"But rumors say from the employees of our branch headquarters that no one in our branch headquarters or other outposts had sent a message that this town's teleporter was down."

"Meaning, whatever happened was strong enough to wipe out everyone there and stop a message from being sent out."

"You know how difficult it is to the stop those guards right next to the teleporter from taking it and teleporting out of there? Or what about the backup emergency message in the center of the mercenary outpost? It was designed to be as fast as lightning in execution for emergency messages."

"It was literally designed for this very situation..."

"But failed."

"When the mercenaries in another town closest to this town came to investigate..."

"They found nothing...and that's the most frightening."
