Synopsis

The chapter reveals that the protagonist has been infected with 'Void Venom,' a curse born from a former ruler's death and resentment, now plaguing the current floor. He learns that survival depends on having aura or constellation protection. The guide warns about the dangers of the Demonic Realm and the peculiar security system of the Mage Towers, which offer aid at the cost of a twelve-year contract of servitude. The protagonist is then called out by someone in need, and labeled as a constellation killer.
