Chapter 266: Aluna

Upon reaching the Library of Infinite Beginnings, the three of us - Xiang Peng, Mei Gui, and I - didn't hesitate. Mrs. Fang noticed us and gave a little wave as we walked by, which we returned. We didn't stop to make conversation though, as we already had a clear goal in mind.

Heading directly up the spiral staircase in the middle, we entered the second floor, and without stopping, continued onwards, circling around the staircase once again to reach another door higher up. The door was a similar design as the one on the second floor, which meant this was undoubtedly the entrance to the third floor - but to access it, we would need to defeat the Gatekeeper of that floor first.

"This is it," I said, pulling out my library card from my wallet, which, as an aside, was depressingly empty. Hopefully, the Hunters' Guild's payment for me would be ready later today though.
