Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Meanwhile, Zachary initially thought that Elva and Alisa would be waiting for him at the disciple dormitory as soon as he arrived. However, they were nowhere to be seen at that time. The entire dormitory sounded of nothing but crickets and Zachary's breathing.

"Hmm. That's odd. Katrina said that they were worried about me. But why aren't they here? I won't waste my time waiting for them. I might as well go and visit Anne first. I bet she's worried sick about me, too." After giving it some thought, Zachary finally decided to enter the system.

Not long after, Zachary arrived at the Living-dead Tomb. There, he saw Anne anxiously pacing back and forth in the chamber, with a worried look on her face.

"Hey, Anne," Zachary greeted as he waved his hand.

"Okay, I see. If there is nothing else, I will go to the training ground first. Another batch of new disciples have just arrived," replied Elva.

"Sure, go ahead and have fun." Zachary nodded and watched Elva leave.
