After reaching the end, we all gathered again.
The first thing I did was check on them. Obviously. Because I care. I worry. I'm a responsible leader. A very cool and composed one.
But now?
Now I mostly wanted to compare experiences and see who suffered the most. For scientific purposes.
Glenda and I stepped out of our path and immediately spotted Luna and Keiji waiting near the mid-depth exit.
They looked neat.
Clean.
Untouched.
Not a single scratch.
Not a single tear.
Not even dust.
I stopped walking.
My eye twitched.
I bet they got the safe path.
"Eunji."
Luna waved happily, like she had just finished a picnic and not a life-threatening dungeon trial. Keiji followed, calm as ever, gesturing for me to come closer while we waited for the others.
Suspicious. Extremely suspicious.
"Look at this."
Keiji opened his palm.
Inside was a chunk of orichalcum ore.
I gasped.
Orichalcum. Rarer than mithril. Stronger. More flexible. And ridiculously expensive.
