Adam stepped forward, his presence steady as the essence thickened around him with every step closer to the rift. The air itself felt heavier, almost resisting him, as if warning him to turn back.
He didn't.
Because he already knew what this place was.
An extinction-class rift.
Deadman's Valley.
The name alone carried weight, whispered across factions as a place where even Masters hesitated to enter. A graveyard of failed expeditions. A zone where survival wasn't guaranteed, no matter your rank.
Adam exhaled slowly, his aura tightening once more as his focus sharpened to a single point.
This was exactly what he needed.
Adam pulled up his panel the moment he stabilized before the rift, his gaze sweeping over the familiar layout with calm precision.
