In Lionfang, Ludger sees the pattern the System won’t let him ignore: trouble never stops coming. So he does what no sensible kid should, he starts building something meant to outlast panic. The Lionsguard guild begins as a hard, practical answer to chaos. Not a tavern guild chasing glory, but an organization that feeds, houses, and trains its people. Word spreads. Coin follows. The guild grows—contract by contract, stone by stone, into the closest thing the frontier has to stability. Then a letter arrives that can’t be ignored.

With Gaius Stonefist's help, Ludger finally finishes the stone bridge. The moment it's done, he pushes forward and reaches the runic golems labyrinth… but the road to it is already trying to kill him.

That is, until one reckless night in the tavern, when a hooded mage and a simple spell shattered the illusion of normalcy forever.
