15 Hunts Later…
Kael and Riven hunted the Gilded Howler again.
And again.
Fifteen times total.
The forest knew their scent. The beast even seemed to respect them toward the end—no more illusions, just a straight-up brawl.

Fast kills, tight spawns, zero risk—but with that golden buff active?
It rained money.

Back at Home…
Kael dropped his gear into the storage crate, then stared out the massive crystal-pane window.
Riven poured two mugs of citrus brew.
"From cave to kings," she muttered. "Not bad."
"We're not kings yet," Kael smirked. "We still got a dragon king to kill."
They raised mugs.
