She moved softly.

Riley glanced at her and whispered, “Get some sleep too.”

PineappleBeer didn’t close her eyes right away. She just leaned against the stone pillar, watching the Hope Guild members around the hall settle down one after another.

“I will in a bit.”

Riley didn’t push her.

It didn’t take long for the whole place to quiet down.

The hall grew quieter and quieter. Soon, only soft footsteps remained, plus the quiet rustle of injured members shifting in their sleep and distant faint noises from NPCs tidying up their shops.

The safe zone’s healing effects slowly kicked in.

Everyone’s wounds healed little by little.

Their energy steadily came back.

At the same time, heavy exhaustion washed over the entire team.

Riley leaned back against the pillar and sat down. For once, she didn’t force herself to stay on her feet.

Her constantly tensed nerves finally relaxed. She’d thought’she would never fall asleep.

Ever since entering this dungeon, she’d trained herself to stay alert no matter what.

Even in safe halls, she always kept part of her attention on the team, the countdown timer and her comms card.

But things were different now.

TartKing and PineappleBeer were both right beside her.

The second Riley closed her eyes, she drifted into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, she was lying on a simple wooden bed.

She looked around and found herself inside a rough wooden cabin.

The triangular shack blocked the wind and snow outside

The faint smell of freshly cut wood drifted through the wall cracks.

There was no fireplace, no storage room, and no tool shed. There was no guild hall, and there were no noisy teammates filling the

space.

All she had was a bed, a small pile of supplies, and a few basic, crudely made tools.

Chapter 582 Lonely Dream

This was the very first night after she’d built her very first cabin.

Back then, safety had been so simple.

Riley sat up on the bed.

The cabin was completely silent.

She pushed the door open and saw a vast snowfield stretching out before her.

A campfire burned steadily outside the cabin.

The flames were small, painting a warm patch of light across the endless white snow.

Bright auroras swirled across the night sky.

Streaks of green and blue-purple light spanned the horizon, creating an incredibly peaceful view.

Riley stood in the doorway.

For a moment, she truly felt safe and at ease.

This was how she’d survived her earliest days here.

She’d cut trees, built shelters, made tools and saved supplies all by herself, struggling to stay alive step by step.

But it didn’t take long for her to sense something was wrong.

It was way too quiet.

There were no Neeko’s footprints in the snow.

No Twiggy, no Ash, and no C.P.

No warm lights from the distant guild base.

The whole world felt so empty.

The cabin was still there.

The campfire still burned bright.

The auroras still danced in the sky.

Yet every person, every thing, every lively sound she’d gained later on felt like it had been erased from existence.

Riley took a step forward.

The snow absorbed her step without a sound.

She glanced back at the cabin.

The tiny triangular shack stood all alone, smaller and more fragile than she remembered.

The Campfire burned steady, like it would never go out.

But the more perfect and calm the scene was, the tighter her chest grew.

Riley suddenly understood. Even with a cabin, fire and beautiful auroras, this kind of safety no longer satisfied her.

She wasn’t the lonely girl who could rest easy with just a roof over her head-anymore.

She had so many precious things now.

And with that came the fear of losing them.

The emptiness of the snowfield weighed heavier and heavier on her.

Her chest felt tight, like she could barely breathe.

A sharp panic spread through her whole body.

She jolted awake in an instant.

Thankfully, the endless snowfield was gone.

Soft light from the copper lamps in the central hall greeted her eyes.

The dim side lighting was gentle, yet bright enough for her to see everything clearly.

TartKing was still leaning on her right side, fast asleep. She mumbled drowsily in her dream, “Burger… I did pretty good… right?”
