While moving toward the next dungeon, Asher and Valeris made a brief pit stop—they stopped by the nearest city hidden away near the dungeon's location.
The city's name shimmered in the air like magic itself: Fabst.
"I wonder what that name means," Valeris asked as they walked through the gates.
Asher glanced around and nodded. "This used to be the entry point to the Tier IX Dungeon—Fantasy Island. It's sealed now, but the name stuck."
He was still looking around when he noticed Valeris pushing something behind her back.
"What are you hiding?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
She turned away, trying—and failing—to look innocent. "Nothing! I just thought… maybe we could try some local food before heading in again."
Asher smirked. "You just want to taste their desserts again, don't you?"
She flashed him a grin. "Guilty."
