Qin Ran stood on an unfamiliar street corner.
The streets of the Giant City were far too complex. Memorizing them all was utterly unrealistic for someone like Qin Ran, who was more accustomed to fighting for his life in dungeon worlds.
In fact, even players who liked keeping records struggled to document its tens of thousands of streets.
Especially when the city was still expanding.
Leaning against the wall at the street corner, Qin Ran watched a building not far away.
The Fire Crow preened its feathers on his shoulder.
Through the Fire Crow's eyes, Qin Ran was certain that Black Robes had entered the nineteen-story building ten minutes earlier.

If the outside was already like this, what would the inside be like?
Qin Ran grew even more cautious.
In dungeon worlds, he could make rough guesses about the natives' abilities. In the Giant City, however, he faced players who traveled through different dungeon worlds, making it difficult to predict what bizarre abilities he might encounter.

"Did he lure me here to make me fight the Broker's men?"
Qin Ran speculated.
There was no longer any need to confirm that Black Robes, Lairvent, had a mutually beneficial partnership with the
