Chapter 23: The Underground Arena – Entering the Lion’s Den
After dusting myself off from the last Nightcreature hunt, I grinned and cracked my knuckles. "That was a decent warm-up." But I wasn't done yet.
I brought up the system screen, the glowing blue interface floating in front of me.
"System, activate Quest No. 3."
[Quest Activated: The Underground Arena]
Objective: Enter the secret fight club in the slums. Investigate its true purpose and uncover the hidden truth.
Reward: Special Martial Arts Technique, +5 Strength, +5 Charisma
Location: West District, Abandoned Warehouse #17
I smirked as I read the details.
"A fight club, huh? Sounds like a good way to pass the time."
The thought of getting my hands dirty in a real fight—even without using my full strength—was intriguing. But this wasn't just about fighting. There was something darker lurking beneath the surface, and I was going to find out what.
I turned and started walking toward the West District.
