The afternoon sun slanted through the wide windows of my favorite café, casting golden stripes across the polished wooden floor. It was the kind of place that didn't get too much foot traffic, tucked away just far enough from the guild district to avoid the constant noise. A haven where I could sit, sip coffee, and plan my next moves in peace—or so I liked to believe.
The coffee in front of me was untouched, steam curling lazily into the air. My focus wasn't on the drink but on the faint glow of the system interface in my vision. The latest notification blinked persistently: "Quest Progress: Entangle Amelia - 80% complete. New Objective: Deepen Divide."
