'Me? A leader? … Ridiculous.'
'There's no way I could lead anyone.
I work better alone.
And besides…
I won't stay with these people for long anyway.'
'I'll survive this city…
find a way to break that stupid Heart curse…
then leave this clan behind and walk my own path.'
A path no one else could tread.
The path of a Player.
'But first…
I need to survive this Legacy Dungeon.'
With his priorities set,
Ethan pushed forward alongside Jackson and the others,
preparing to throw themselves into another battle.
The battle raging on the opposite side of the city
was far worse than the one Ethan's group had endured.
That district had become a blazing hellscape.
The flames were so intense
that monstrous amounts of smoke rose into the sky,
forming a massive black cloud
that swallowed the entire area whole.
Within the sea of fire,
monsters burned and charred black—
yet despite that,
the battle continued relentlessly.
A new breed of monsters had appeared there.
