The second floor of the Adventurer Guild had never experienced this kind of energy before. It wasn't chaos or disorder; it was a vibrant hum that filled the vast hall, resonating from wall to wall.
Bronze Rank Adventurers filled nearly every available space, some leaned against the polished marble pillars, while others occupied the newly expanded tables that dotted the floor like islands in a sea of activity.
The bar counter buzzed with life as mugs clinked, bottles popped open, and laughter surged and ebbed in waves, blending seamlessly with the constant murmur of conversation.
Waiters moved through the crowd with practiced ease, trays balanced effortlessly in their hands as they delivered wine, ale, and steaming dishes from the Adventurer Restaurant below. The sharp tang of alcohol mingled with hints of metal in the air, creating an atmosphere that felt alive, dangerous yet oddly comforting.
