At the moment everything happened, Nick felt as though he were being crushed beneath an invisible pressure. The darkness hadn't even reached him yet, but the weight alone was already so overwhelming that he could barely breathe.
Fortunately, the countdown finally reached zero, and he was safely transported out. Every wound and every ache vanished completely.
Only Silvanus...
Silvanus wasn't beside him.
His system introduced him to the Artists' Residential District as well as the Information Plaza.
The artists' residences were private spaces that were almost completely empty when first assigned. The quality of life there depended entirely on how each artist chose to furnish and develop them.
Nick had also received credits and rewards for successfully escaping the previous dungeon. He had undergone his first ability awakening as well, officially shedding his status as a newcomer.
Yet none of it brought him any joy.
