Chapter 57: Third Quest Lobby • 1

Back inside the dangerous depths of the Dungeon, Aeric and the team had just stepped into the third Quest Lobby.

This Lobby welcomed them with a rush of foreboding. The air was denser, thick with an almost electric tension that pricked at his skin. There was a dim light filtering from cracks in the stone walls that seemed a shade darker than before.

The room was vast and cavernous, stretching in all directions, shrouded in fog similar to the one of the previous Lobby that clung low to the ground, veiling their sight. Flickering remnants of Divinity illuminated stalactites hanging overhead like the jagged teeth of some ancient beast.

Aeric wanted to say something, but then his system chimed, cold and unfeeling:

[Quest Update: Third Lobby Challenge]

[Objective: Survive the assault and subdue the beast of this lobby.]

[Difficulty: 70%]

'Seventy percent?!' His eyes shot up. 'Why is the difficulty increasing so rapidly?!'
