Sector 9: The Flooded Metro
The flooded transit tunnel where Elias mastered Recursive Forging and sparked a regional leaderboard war.
Sector 9: The Flooded Metro is a D-rank dungeon hidden within a submerged transit tunnel, marking the first genuine dungeon Elias clears in Book 2. Rather than engaging in direct combat, Elias cleared this floor by deploying automated constructs to farm it, a strategy that allowed him to master his signature exploit, Recursive Forging. This location also served as the site where he established his very first Maker safe-settlement.
