The B-rank dungeon they managed to secure wasn't too far from their squad's building. It was just around the corner of the Starling district, in a small village that sat quietly on the outskirts.
They finally reached the village, but something immediately felt wrong. Outside, the weather was bright and hot, yet inside the village, it was strangely cold and dim. A thin fog hung over everything, blanketing the streets in a ghostly haze. It wasn't thick enough to block their view, but trying to see too far ahead was useless, the mist swallowed everything in the distance.
"Damn... What's with all this fog?" Ken waved his hand in front of his face, as if trying to clear away the fog that refused to fade.
Kazuki pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, lit it with his lighter, and exhaled a slow puff of smoke into the air. "This is the location of the B-rank dungeon, the Mysthaven village."
"Damn... I guess there's a reason why it's called the Mysthaven huh?"
