Kaiden and co barely had time to gather their bearings before the camp came alive as word spread that the briefing was about to begin.
Awakened gathered near the central platform, more than a hundred of them forming a loose semicircle. Weapons reflected in the sun, armor clinked as people moved, and the quiet sounds of anticipation filled the air.
Tessa stepped up first. She carried herself with the authority that came from years of leading. At level 85, she was one of the strongest present despite only having a B-tier class, the Arcane Archer.
But even she glanced to her side when a second figure joined her.
The man wore a deep blue coat and sported a fashionable beard. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and his expression was hard to read. He belonged to Runewoven, named Geralt.
As Talia herself was not a combatant, someone else had to take on the responsibility of leadership.
That duty fell to this man. Level 89, A-tier awakened.
