By the second week of operations, the number of Adventurers visiting Wilhelm's dungeon had exceeded even Irene's revised projections.
What had initially appeared to be an encouraging increase in demand was gradually becoming an administrative challenge.
The dungeon's renovated entrance facilities had been designed to accommodate a reasonable flow of visitors, but the popularity of the Guild's Dungeon Pass arrangements was attracting considerably more parties than anticipated.
Every morning, groups of Adventurers gathered outside the admission building, waiting to purchase passes, verify their qualifications, and enter the dungeon.
The surrounding settlement had also become noticeably busier.
Merchants arrived with equipment and supplies, food vendors established temporary stalls, and transportation companies began offering additional services between Kingsford and the dungeon.
