"Someone is following me."
Caelus frowned, coming to a halt before the Dungeon Zone's barrier. Two men in heavy black coats and sunglasses lingered near the rear of the toll queue, making a sloppy attempt at blending in. He wouldn't have noticed them normally, but they weren't even bothering to cover their tracks properly.
'Who are they? What do they want with me?'
"Hey kid, you entering or just window shopping?" the guard grunted, scowling at the backed-up line.
Instead of stating his purpose, Caelus had just been standing there lost in thought.
"Ah, yes. I'm heading in," Caelus nodded, snapping back to reality.
He tapped his phone against the scanner to transfer the twenty Origin Credits. His real-life bank balance was running dangerously low. He needed to create a Loader Chip soon and convert some of the Origin Credits he'd earned in the Domain into real-world currency.
While the guard processed his entry, he checked his stats.
