They had barely taken a step when a crisp notification exploded in everyone's vision.
---
[GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT!]
[The Adventurer Guild has cleared Floor 1 of the Blood Tower!]
[Title 'Pioneer of Blood (Sector Variant)' has been awarded to: Adventurer Guild (Valerian Branch)!]
[All Adventurer Guild members currently inside the Tower will receive +10% Tower Rewards (First 3 Floors).]

The system message rolled across the sky like a banner.
Outside the tower — in the cities, viewing halls, and barracks — people cheered.
"In less than five minutes?!"
"That's the Adventurer Guild for you!"
"Scarlet did it again!"
Inside Broken Dawn's portal zone, Bunny clicked her tongue. "Tch. They really rushed it."
Sophie glanced sideways and mumbled under her breath, "We could have taken it."
"We could, but like I said before, the first few floors don't have that many treasures, so it's not worth it," Gabriel said without looking back.
He didn't even slow down.
