After parting ways with Lyra and Eirin, I headed straight to a dungeon. It wasn't anything too challenging—a B-rank dungeon, suitable for a quick hunt and the absorption of the mana stone.
Using my phone to navigate, I eventually arrived at the dungeon site. It was located at a deserted construction site, abandoned after the dungeon had manifested. The area wasn't crowded, just a single guard sat lazily by the gate, barely paying attention until I approached.
In major cities, dungeons appeared frequently, sometimes several in a single day. Scientists had theorized that dungeons attract more dungeons, particularly in areas where higher-ranking ones are abundant. Beyond this, humanity had yet to uncover any deeper truths.
The guard straightened up as I approached, asking for my hunter license. I handed it over, recalling how Mr.T'Zaero had reissued one for me after I explained the incident. Satisfied, the guard nodded and waved me through.
