"Just like they said, Glory Expanse is not Earth. Trust me, you wouldn't last an hour if you decided to start life here on your own.
There's really nothing like a slave trade here... or perhaps even if there is, I'm not one of those engaging in it. I just needed someone with a Ranger Class to join our Guild," the man explained, giving Callum a reassuring look.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you all you need to know as soon as we get home," the man added.
