Regression: Reclaiming the End

As soon as the system message faded, the floor under me began to crack. Then it shattered completely, like broken glass falling into darkness.

A strange pull took over, like I was being dragged out of the dungeon by something I couldn't see.

Then—light.

And just like that, I was standing back on Earth.

I looked around. The sky was cloudy and dark, just like always. The streets were broken and quiet. This ruined city was all we had left. But at least I was alive.

The system spoke again.

-

[You have cleared Floor 1.]

[Returning to Earth...]

[Cooldown started.]

Once someone clears a floor, that floor is locked for 1 hour before anyone else can enter.
