The number of people inside [Killing Grounds] kept rising.
At the same time, large numbers of ordinary awakeners chose to enter the smaller bubbles.
Each bubble contained a small world—inside might be projections of wild bosses that had once appeared, or elite monsters.
To operate this Instance well, the elves had poured enormous time and effort into it. While charging steep admission fees, they also set up correspondingly rare clearance rewards.
So even for ordinary awakeners, [Killing Grounds] was an incredible opportunity.
Of course, even more geniuses had come as well.
What they pursued wasn't merely loot, but to create history—to become the banner of the younger generation and harvest massive fame.
Yet whether it was Farant… or Kirabi of the Stonebrawn Legion, both ultimately fell before the first floor's final boss.
Kirabi, having left the giant bubble, walked up to Farant on his own initiative.
"Farant. Looks like our experiences were pretty much the same."
