Routine

One week after they had been transferred to the Ascended Rank area, Karl and the others had gotten into a solid routine. Breakfast in the fort, hunt anything that they had spotted on night watch, return for lunch, then either rest or make another loop in the afternoon if there were still signs of more monsters.

They were also beginning to amass a rather considerable amount of money, thanks to the Giants' habit of carrying gold and silver in their pouches.

It was a mystery who was making coins for them, or who they had stolen them from, but the raw materials were still valuable, and they could make a fortune trading it in when they returned.

But that wasn't the only thing that they had gained. Everyone was feeling much more confident and comfortable with their powers, and the last few days the Giants had seemed to fall without much of a fight.
