Chapter 35: The Dragon Worshippers Are Here
Sylvia was deep in a tranquil sleep, her breathing soft and steady as she drifted through the blissful haze of a pleasant dream. The warmth of her blanket wrapped around her like a gentle cocoon, and the faint rustling of leaves outside her window provided a soothing rhythm.
But that serenity shattered the moment the system’s voice echoed in her mind.
’Guess tonight won’t be so peaceful... I wonder, do I have to infiltrate somewhere dangerous today?’
She didn’t feel too irritated by the system’s abrupt appearance. Instead, curiosity flickered in her eyes as she turned her attention to the luminous blue screen hovering in front of her.

"What?" Sylvia’s breath caught. Her eyes widened as she abruptly sat up in bed, her heart pounding in her chest.
A wave of unease settled over her. As if on cue, the distant wails of pain and destruction filtered in through the walls, crawling into her ears like whispers of doom. The cries of the wounded and the echoes of chaos gripped her chest with invisible fingers.
She turned her gaze toward the bottom of the screen. The glowing text stood out starkly in the dimly lit room.
