As Aiden roamed around the Underground City, he continued to discreetly gather the lingering Death Energy. Despite his thorough search, he couldn't find anything of value at the various stalls. Most of the items were either fake or useless to him, far from the hidden treasures or cheats he had hoped to discover.
After several hours of fruitless searching, and with no more Death Energy left in the air, Aiden decided it was time to leave. He made his way to a corner where people were exiting the Underground City. Approaching the man overseeing the exit, Aiden made a request.
"I want to go to the Black Market," Aiden said.
The man examined Aiden's ring with a keen eye before swapping it for another. This new ring bore an emblem of a cart piled high with goods. He then directed Aiden toward a different section of the wall, away from the main exit. Pressing the ring against the wall, a shimmering portal appeared, revealing a passageway leading deeper into the underground.
