An Extra’s POV

~VWUUSH~

A swirling blue portal, like a vortex imprinted in midair, appeared a short distance from the Southern Gate of the Adventurer City.

For a moment, it merely stood still, merely illuminating the night with its bright hue and causing the air around it to tremble.

Then, silhouettes began to emerge from within it.

Nine humans, along with a rabbit, marched out of the spatial rift. There was purpose in their aura, and their footsteps interrupted the silence that filled the barren path.

Once they all came out, the warbling space collapsed on itself and vanished from sight.

In no time at all, the darkened path returned to the way it was, save for the ten strangers that now stood there.

"I can't believe Sir Ralyks just dropped us off without even bothering to show us around." The first to speak was, of course, Justin Blake.

His face dragged around as he complained, pointing towards the entrance of the city that stood at least a hundred meters away from them.

"The least he could do was transport us straight to the entrance."

Everyone ignored Justin's complaints. They knew the true reason why he was complaining, and that was because Ralyks didn't respond to any of his jokes.

Even when he was being serious, he was treated coldly.

Of course, the same applied to everyone, but it seemed Justin took it personally.

The only one who reacted as strongly as he did—perhaps a bit more extreme—was Belle Vanitas.

Her muffled whispers quietly echoed in the night. "Even
