In the midst of astonished gazes, a fluffy white figure emerged from the thickets.
"Congratulations to all Players for discovering the first large instance," the resourceful rabbit NPC said with a smile.
A brilliant blue panel appeared.
[Instance Name: Black Lamb and the Night of Dawn]
[Difficulty: 3 Silver Stars]
[Recommended Number of Participants: 12 or more]
[Current Number of Participants: 13]
[Duration: From tonight until the dawn of the next day.]
[Suggested Player Strengths: Force, Wisdom, Luck, Intuition]
...
Nothing but this panel presented itself before everyone; there were no additional rules explained. Clearly, the rest of the rules required the rabbit NPC to elaborate.
"Wait... Thirteen people?" Wang Chaoze, a Player from Dragon Country wielding a long sword, sensed something amiss.
There were clearly only twelve of them standing here, so when did an extra person appear?
