A week passed since the incident on the 20th floor. The residents who lived in the city in the dungeon slowly returned to their respective places. The atmosphere in the city which was once tense is now gradually recovering, although the shadow of fear is still felt in the air. Renovations are underway throughout the city, with workers and adventurers working together to repair the damage caused by monster attacks.
Axel walked along the main street of the city, seeing the residents busy rebuilding their lives. On one street corner, he saw a group of children playing and laughing, a sign that hope still existed amidst difficulties.
Alicia approached Axel from behind, her smile thin but warm. "How are you, Axel?" Alicia asked in a gentle tone.
Axel nodded slowly. "I'm fine. It's just, it's still hard to accept the fact that we lost so many people." Alicia patted Axel's shoulder gently.
