Walter arrived at Lut Gholein. One thing was for sure the man freaked out!
With good reason, too~.
Imagine you were having a good time with some hot piece of ass, then that memory seems to get cut off, and you suddenly find yourself in a blisteringly hot place.
How would you react?
Warriv smiled at him before explaining some important bits.
Body getting possessed.
Nearly annihilated the sisterhood.
Now some entity call Xacuel had promised a way to save the weakening sisters that were with him.
And here they are in the place that is connected to what can preserve the strength and lives of the rogues with him!
Quite the thing to wake up to, no?
Don't forget that Silvia ended up betraying him and nearly killed him, so the young man was feeling down to earth as problems were just piling on to him like an avalanche giving him no way to rest or even escape as even now he feels compelled to do something for this city.
Walter was already leaning back on a chair as he was trying to process EVERYTHING that was told to him and the things that he remembered.
On the bright side, the rogues weren't as hostile to him anymore, especially the girl that was now hurling herself towards him while yelling out as he sat in his chair with wide eyes as the human missile came at him.
"Walter! you're finally awake!"
"GUha!"
This would've been an enjoyable experience if it weren't for the fact that Trisha ran full speed at him, she was decked in better, stronger armor, while he was just wearing regular clothes thanks to the heat, and that something popped out of place when she knocked him off of his chair!
Not only was he weaker now, but Trisha, who was too excited for various reasons, unintentionally caused more damage on top of the stuff that he was already suffering from.
Apparently, Jabawock did a bad number on his body which required him to heal for a certain amount of days, and all of his stats were looking like this.

While the changes he and his summons went through were welcome.
He looked at his hand while Trisha was still hugging him, keeping in mind the physical changes that his body had gone through since his arrival in this world.
While the man was seriously thinking about his future, a naughty hand crept down his abdomen, causing him to flinch before slipping into his pants which made him breathe in sharply as Trisha whispered into his ear.
"You remember your promise, right?"
Should he dig in now? or wait until all of this is done?
With how skillful the girl's hands were, it was hard to keep a straight face in front of the other rogues that were trying to relax after the long journey.
But thanks to how close the sisterhood was, many of them were pretty open about certain subjects. The knowing looks and smiles they were giving Walter as he looked around while trying to be subtle the ladies around him were beyond daring, to say the least, some of them who held no grudges towards him decided to tease him with some light skirt lifting, showing more skin, one even went as far as to show off her large breasts.
They sought strong men as partners, and the things that 'Walter' can do were pretty enticing for them, strong body, powerful magic, capable of summoning powerful monsters and warriors.
Why wouldn't they want him?
But then again, in fear of death, people tend to try and leave something behind that was just nature doing its job.
that or his imagination was going wild and the rogues were looking at his with disdain who knows~
But the 'teasing' session quickly ended when a man wearing white and blue middle eastern style clothes arrived and introduced himself with such elegance that it was hard not to pay attention.
"Greetings, honored traveler, I am Jerhyn, Lord of Lut Gholein, and I bid you welcome to my fair port-city. I'm glad to know that once again, caravans are free to travel through the Western Pass."
With a light bow, Jerhyn continued with a heavy tone.
"For some time now, we have been under siege by an evil power that I cannot identify. Strange... It all began when a Dark Wanderer came this way, looking for the Tomb of Tal Rasha. No one knows exactly where Tal Rasha, Keeper of Baal, is entombed, but it is certain to be far out in the desert."
He then looked to the locals that were struggling to survive before laying out the burdens he had been going through thanks to the amount of stress he had to endure for quite some time now.
"Now, my people whisper tales of the dead rising from their tombs and horrible creatures lurking amongst the moonlit dunes. Even I have witnessed things that I cannot explain. I've ordered the port closed and all trade ships moored until I am sure that my city is safe."
Jerhyn gave a strangely hopeful smile to Walter and his group before directing them to who can provide more details into the city's ongoing problems as he pointed towards a tavern that was quite the distance away from them.
"Atma, the tavernkeeper, has an important mission for you. Go see her immediately. You'll find her on the other side of town."
The sultan pinned his hopes on Walter and his group as you can both see and hear the reluctance the man had about simply leaving, but there was so much more he had to worry about outside the view of regular people.
"Now, I must return to the palace. I apologize, but I can't invite you in. Things are... rather a mess right now."
As of right now, within the palace was having an ongoing war with the monsters that spill out every few days since two weeks ago.
But that was something he couldn't tell to just anyone, which is why Jerhyn will carry this burden until the problems within his city are taken care of!
Meanwhile, Trisha, who was in a foul mood since their moment got ruined, lightly growled out before dragging Walter along.
"Come on, Walter, let's finish the quest as soon as possible so that you can keep your promise!"
