Five days later.
After the earlier battle, the Chaos City Outer City had returned to its usual peace.
With that faction no longer causing trouble in the city, the newly arrived residents were fairly quiet as well.
Though most remained cautious, they were finding their own ways to fit in.
After all, refugees who chose to enter the Desert were either out of options or confident in their chances.
This change made An Kai increasingly glad he had acted early. A few days later, and trouble might well have broken out in the city.
Over those five days, he had gained 6 attribute points through Meditation.
