Synopsis

The chapter begins with a group entering a new floor of the dungeon. They discuss the strength of previous lone challengers, and how they might be outmaneuvered. A lone character reveals the existence of a hidden treasure system tied to the dungeon, which grants artifacts upon turning in a treasure. Players can get stronger by collecting monster orbs instead of searching for guardians. The chapter shifts focus to the main character's understanding of this dungeon system and the Philosopher Stone. He plans to gather the hidden orb based on info from his previous life.
