Sector 9: The Flooded Metro
Elias's first true Dungeon: A flooded tunnel proving builders beat the meta.
Sector 9: The Flooded Metro stands as a pivotal milestone in Elias's journey, marking his first successful clearance of a true Dungeon within Book 2. Situated inside a submerged transit tunnel, this location became the testing ground for a revolutionary approach to LitRPG combat. Instead of relying on brute force or traditional heroics, Elias unlocked the powerful Recursive Forging ability here.
