{Zenith}
Zenith lingered at the forefront of the central dungeon, her piercing emerald gaze fixed upon the shimmering portal that promised untold challenges lying in wait.
A furrow creased her brow as she studied the imposing structure, her fingers drumming an idle rhythm against the hilt of her blade.
Just as she was about to turn and rejoin the others, a flicker of movement in her peripheral vision caught her attention. A notification had appeared, the familiar System interface casting its azure glow across her vision.
Safe Zone Activated
Player vs. Player Combat Disabled
"A safe zone?" Zenith muttered, her lips pursing into a contemplative frown. "But why..."
The answer to her unspoken question soon became apparent as a cluster of figures crested the distant rise, their silhouettes unmistakable against the blazing backdrop of the setting sun.
Dylan and his High Rollers.
