章 55: Running Late

The shockwaves from the recent dungeon completion rippled far and wide. Players scattered across kingdoms, dungeons, and marketplaces were momentarily interrupted by the bold notification flashing across their screens:

[ World Notification: Congratulations to Aleman, Xyron, Aria, Kelvor, Hermes, and Thara for completing the Ogres' Dwelling Dungeon as an independent party! ]

"Did I read that right? An independent party took down the Ogres' Dwelling?"

"No way," his friend muttered, disbelief coloring his tone. "It's always guilds that claim the dungeons. Who are these guys?"
