[Adam C. POV]

The whirlwind of colors and sensations subsided, giving way to the monotonous patter of rain against the ground. I opened my eyes, taking in my surroundings.

I was back.

I was finally back.

The steady cadence of raindrops hitting the cobblestone underfoot, the gray skies painted with swirling clouds, and the misty air that clung to my skin. The atmosphere was somber, yet there was an undeniable sense of serenity woven into the landscape. The familiarity of the world around me invoked a mixture of relief and nostalgia.

"Earthland..." I whispered, almost disbelieving. Every drop of rain that touched my skin, every gust of wind, was a confirmation of my return. The odyssey that took me to worlds unknown, battles unimaginable, was at its end.

If I remember correctly, I was standing in Amefurashi Village, a place permanently kissed by rain. The droplets traced lines down the facades of buildings, weaving pathways on the streets, their constant presence a testament to the village's name, which literally meant "rain shower, or rain slugs.

A smile traced my lips.

I had returned, not to Magnolia, but to a place still within the Kingdom of Fiore, a place within my world. I reckon the reason behind why we hadn't landed in Magnolia was because Urahara's portal didn't have the precise data to transport us directly to my hometown.

But that was a minor inconvenience, one I was more than willing to overlook.

Urahara and Yoruichi stood beside me, their eyes scanning the surroundings with a mixture of curiosity and appreciation. It was a new world for them, a stark contrast to the world they were used to.

"The rain is...different here," Yoruichi remarked, her hand extended, palm up, collecting the gentle rain. It didn't take a genius to know she was referring to the magic properties behind everything in this world.

"I'd say everything is different here," Urahara added, his ever-present fan absent, allowing me a rare glimpse of his contemplative expression. There was a spark of excitement in his eyes, an insatiable curiosity that I had come to associate with the enigmatic shopkeeper.

I chuckled. "You'll find no shortage of wonders in this world, Urahara."

I blinked, realization dawning on me. In the midst of my overwhelming joy and relief at returning home, I'd completely forgotten the potential danger my sheer reiatsu could pose to others, especially now.

I was far stronger now.

"You're right," I conceded, taking the Gigai from Urahara. "I hadn't considered that."

Yoruichi chuckled. "How big is the limiter in these?"

Urahara nodded, handing Yoruichi her own Gigai. "Why spoil the surprise?" he grinned. "All you need to know is that using these we can travel without causing a commotion. At least, not until we intend to."

Nodding, I channeled my reiatsu, guiding my spirit into the Gigai. The sensation was peculiar, to say the least. It was like slipping into a pair of well-worn shoes, comfortable but distinctly foreign.

Like before, it made everything feel muted to a certain extent.

My new form felt... grounded. Tethered to Earthland in a way my spirit alone wasn't.

"We good?" I asked, flexing the fingers of the Gigai and testing its mobility.

My powers felt heavily limited in this current state. If I had to eyeball my power, I would say I was about as strong as I was the last time I was here.

Maybe a little bit less. I really wasn't sure, the only thing I was sure of, is that I was weaker than I had been as a human.

Urahara smiled, already in his Gigai, looking distinctly... normal. "All set. Let's proceed."

Yoruichi, now also in her Gigai, stretched luxuriously, a grin on her face. "Like stretching a new pair of shoes."

That's... quite the analogy.

"How do you feel?" Urahara asked, eyeing me with a hint of curiosity.

"Good," I replied, cracking my neck. My body felt a bit stiff, I guess like Yoruichi said, I had to break it in. "Though, in terms of power, I feel weaker... compared to the power I had with a human body."

Urahara nodded, almost as if expecting this. "Why yes, that's to be expected, Adam. The Gigai was designed to limit your spiritual pressure, after all. Any more power, and your Gigai would burst open like a balloon."

I nodded in understanding, though I had to admit that a small part of me was disappointed. I had grown used to the immense power I wielded in my spiritual form, and the thought of being limited was a bit unnerving.

"Enough chi-chat, lead the way hot-stuff," Yoruichi teased, nudging me with her elbow.

I rolled my eyes but couldn't help but smirk at her playful demeanor. "Alright, alright, let's go."
