It took a week for Erik and his people to set everything up for the oncoming quest. They planned every aspect, from gathering essential supplies to coordinating the roles and responsibilities of each guild member.

The young man stepped out of the guild's main building, his eyes scanning the bustling scene before him. The parking lot had transformed into a hive of activity, a staging ground for the high-stakes mission that lay ahead.

The air was thick with a blend of excitement and tension, each guild member aware of the risks and rewards that awaited them. The anticipation was palpable as they prepared themselves for the challenges that awaited.

Thirty guild members, including Kael, Mira, Aiden, and Lila, were already outside, busy with last-minute preparations.

They formed a diverse group, their armors reflecting their varying levels of affluence and taste.
