After leaving the [Church Sanctuary] with the reward from the "Sanctuary" challenge, Stark didn't waste any time.
He mounted the [Ghost Wolf] and urged it forward, letting the beast sprint across the ruined landscape.
The wolf's paws pounded against the ground in rapid rhythm, kicking up dust as the city walls of [Shell City] came into view.
The journey was short, barely thirty minutes with the wolf's speed.
The ruined city passed behind him, fading into silence, and soon the faint light of the safe zone's boundary shimmered ahead.
[Shell City] was nearly deserted.
Most of the other players had already left, returning to their own ruined cities.
Their target was obvious: the [Tower of Destiny].
That tower was the big deal right now, the place where players could test themselves and climb floor by floor for rewards.
And since Stark had already cleared it first, he didn't need to go back anymore.
That part of the game was done for him.
