A group of 7 high level beta testers gathered on the bar of one of the lower floors, including Karo.
The low level players watched in awe as the fierce and powerful high level players were gathering here. Karo looked around, remembering bad memories.
I don't love you anymore...
But... Why?

He shook his head, clearing any tears that formed. Though, now he had a crush on a cute girl named Asuna.
He was excited and anxious during the discussion of raiding the 79th floor, because he heard that Asuna would be part of the larger raiding party they were going to take part of.
Karo looked ahead, the others discussing about the unknown boss and other party members.
"Rumors is, it's a deadly giant that is nearly impossible to kill. Nobody has mapped even mapped half the floor yet"
Karo was inspecting his sword, paying little attention to whatever went on.
He noticed a few cracks, and decided he would get them repaired by Lizbeth before the fight
However, the meeting concluded with a messenger from the other parties declared that the fight would be in 4 hours.
Karo got up, and dashed towards the door. He needed to get to Lizbeth's, now
