Aegis spread the map across what used to be a dining table and was now just a flat surface covered in dust.
Her manor's main hall still looked like a disaster zone—broken furniture stacked in corners, holes in the ceiling patched with tarps, the smell of old wood and mildew everywhere. But the table was stable, and that was good enough.
Scarlett and Kanna leaned in from opposite sides, studying the map.
"Alright," Aegis said, tapping a spot in the northern forests. "Here's the plan. I need money, fast. So as your training and as my money-making scheme, I'm gonna have you two do some monster hunting—but not random shit. High-value targets only that you can also reasonably take down."
Scarlett tilted her head.
"What kind of targets we talking about?"
Aegis pulled out a notebook—one of many she'd filled with "research" over the past few days. Really it was just her game knowledge translated into something that looked legitimate.
