The cobbled streets of the city rolled beneath Daniel and Eva's feet as the sunlight grew stronger.
The Elthanor Empire was one of humanity's most powerful forces, with significant weight in global politics.
You could say that before the arrival of the Otherworldly Climbers, it was the Elthanor Empire that preserved the standing of humankind and gave them dignity and respect.
According to Eva, the current emperor is an S-rank Climber, and rumors say the founder reached a level beyond S-rank.
Daniel turned his head, glancing around the corners of the street… but there was no sign of what he was looking for.
Not even one.
No old man hunched over with a bowl, no child in torn clothes. There were no beggars in this city.
How was it even possible? Not a single beggar?
"Weird…" His eyebrows furrowed.
Eva was walking beside him and noticed something was off from his face.
"Looking for something?"
"Yeah… but looks like it's not here."
