The air grew colder the deeper they went.
Torches flickered along the Dungeon’s stone walls, casting dancing shadows on the faces of Orario’s strongest adventurers. Their steps echoed through the narrow stairwells, boots steady, nerves taut. The deeper floors had always been treacherous—but now, something else crept beneath the surface.
Ethan walked near the front, flanked by Finn and Riveria, his eyes scanning every corner. Lili followed just behind, her crossbow loaded, her body tense. She wasn’t used to this many high-level adventurers gathered in one place—each one capable of wiping out entire squads solo.

Riveria narrowed her eyes. "It’s not just mana. It’s wild. Chaotic. This isn’t the Dungeon as we know it. It’s evolving."
They reached the edge of the 22nd floor, where the expedition would split into scouting parties. Each group had a role—to investigate, to fight, to survive.
