“If you rush off alone without saying a word again, I’m hitting you with a paralysis potion first next time
Nobody mumbled softly, “If I didn’t rush in, we would’ve lost people.”
ToxicReaper had no comeback. After a second, he let out an annoyed sigh.
“That’s exactly why I can’t stand reckless people like you.”
The group shuffled slowly toward the side of the platform.

Not this one.
Above their heads was a real open sky.
The sun blazed bright.
The blue looked almost unnatural.
Sunlight poured over the roof eaves and stone plaza floors. It made the central hall feel nothing like a dungeon, or even part of the frozen snowfield world they’d been trapped in.
Multiple Hope Guild members stopped dead in their tracks.
Ever since arriving in this world, all they’d seen was endless snow, blizzards, black fog, narrow underground tunnels, monsters and bloodshed.
Bright, warm sunlight felt completely alien to them.
They’d just fought their way out of a bloody nightmare at the gate. This sudden clear sky left everyone dazed and disoriented.
LoneSparrow tilted his head back and stared up for a long time, whispering, “Is this sun even real?”
Felix dropped to the ground and held up a hand to block the glare. “Real or fake, I don’t care. I’m just happy to feel sunlight. Anything bright feels good right now.”
Bruce didn’t waste time staring. He first settled the injured against the wall and lined up their shields on the outer edge for defense.
“Let’s treat our wounds first,” Bruce said in a rough, hoarse voice.
His words snapped everyone back to reality.
They were still reeling from that brutal battle.
No matter how pretty the sky was, it didn’t erase how hard they’d fought to survive.
RedBean finally finished her full headcount.
She walked over to Riley with her lips pressed tight.
“President.”
Riley turned to her.
RedBean lowered her voice to a quiet murmur. “I’ve finished tallying our members.”
The nearby core members all fell silent.
RedBean stared down at her record board and spoke slowly, every word heavy.
