"How unexpected."

"It turned out well, didn't it?"

Lee Shin-Woo and Jin got off the final Golem train and rushed into the level 2 danger zone city, clearing it of all undead as well as exploring the sewers. Finding no hidden facilities, they purified the city completely, and Lee Shin-Woo's Combat Sense leveled up afterwards as if the skill had been waiting for this very moment; his total stats had now surpassed 3,200.

"Once we reach level 6, we can move on to the level 3 danger zones," Lee Shin-Woo said.

"...Yeah, right. It's about time we move on. I was kind of spacing out for a bit wondering what we should do once we hit 6."

Hearing Jin talk about the level 3 danger zone made Lee Shin-Woo realize that he might have been getting comfortable for way too long. He hadn’t exactly been slacking off; in fact, he had been doing everything that needed to be done. Somewhere along the way, though, he’d adapted to the calm and risk-free everyday life.

"No. It's not like we haven't been in any sort of danger..."

Jin found Lee Shin-Woo's reaction absurd. While they had run into a significantly less number of higher-level enemies, they had been taking on thousands of lesser foes, and even once got surrounded by level 5 elites. A level 2 danger zone wasn't really safe for two level 5 heroes in the first...
