Outside the gaming dungeon, Mana Knight Gideon stood patiently, though his mind was elsewhere. He had been stationed to watch for the young Baron Wallace's emergence, a task that had grown increasingly tedious as days passed without any sign of him.
The arrival of numerous adventurers in Toraz Town had created a buzz of excitement and opportunity, but it had also burdened Gideon with the responsibility of standing guard.
The adventurers were an interesting lot, and their reactions to the town's miraculous fries and water bottles were always amusing.
These items, imbued with magical properties, had become highly sought after, leading to a side hustle for Gideon and his fellow Mana Knights.
They would sell these treasures to the adventurers at inflated prices, a scam the adventurers didn't mind falling for, given the rarity and utility of the items.
Gideon enjoyed this hustle, but his current duty kept him from participating.
