The tunnel's air grew colder as I ventured deeper, the dim light barely illuminating my path.
I had excellent vision though so it wasn't a problem.
My watch continued to emit a faint red glow, an ever-present reminder of the dangers lurking nearby.
But I pressed on, undeterred. I was here for a reason, and nothing would stand in my way.
Simply put, I needed an upgrade to my current set of Items, and (G) Essence was the way to go about it.
I was looking for a catalyst that was rich in (G) Essence, and I knew one existed in the Tunnel.
It was simply a matter of finding it first without the weight of unnecessary interruptions.
As I approached a wider section of the tunnel, I could hear the faint murmurs of voices ahead.
Shit!
They didn't sound like ruffians which made me suspect that it was a Gifted team. Just what I was avoiding.
I paused, blending into the shadows, and listening carefully.
