The players selected for the Lost Labyrinth expedition were no less talented than the Forum Master or Metatron.
The only difference?
Circumstances.
Each player had their own unique growth curve, shaped by the opportunities and challenges they encountered.
So far, the strongest players had all taken part in the Shadow Castle raid—
A venture that made them rich overnight.
The Forum Master, leveraging this success, solidified his control over Border Town and skyrocketed his reputation.
But Shadow Castle was a one-time deal.
There was no second chance to enter.
Now, the Lost Labyrinth had emerged as a far greater resource hub.
Keeping it a secret would create a massive power gap—
Turning it into an exclusive treasure trove for the five of them.
But William and his team chose to open it to all players.
