Setting out

After accepting the quest to exterminate the hoard of D-tier Bloodline Drakes, Lumen followed Elara and her team to the designated meeting point for all adventurers who had accepted the dangerous mission. The location was a vast open field on the outskirts of Veridia, chosen for its accessibility and ample space to gather over a hundred adventurers.

As Lumen arrived with Elara and her group, he was met with the sight of a growing crowd of adventurers, each equipped with various weapons and wearing a mix of armour and protective gear. There was a palpable sense of excitement and nervousness in the air as adventurers from different walks of life gathered for this high-risk, high-reward quest.

Amidst the crowd, Lumen couldn't help but feel small and inexperienced. He had only recently transitioned into this world of adventure, and many of those around him were seasoned veterans with battle-hardened expressions. Elara and her team were a reassuring presence by his side.
