It was a bustling day as usual in the Blessed Empire, and today it was bustling even more as a momentous event occurred.
After days where almost all the dungeons in the world began breaking down permanently, in the last 24 hours, new ones had begun appearing!
Hunters and governments had been gravely worried that the rate at which they increased their strength would drastically reduce without the constant supply of cores, skills, and items, but their worries did not last too long.
A few days after the initial panic, huge monoliths began appearing around the world once more. The monoliths were different than the ones they had been used to, as they appeared black and did not have a change in color over time. They never would have thought that they would be happy at the sight of dungeons, but people moved eagerly after these new ones appeared.
They worked differently compared to the old ones, and the hunters would learn more about their secrets as time went on.
The bustling day today was interrupted by the appearance of something nobody could have guessed in their wildest dreams. Above the skies of the small city in the periphery of the Blessed Empire, a floating landmass that entirely blocked the skies appeared!
The landmass caused surprise and panic on many hunters as they thought an unexpected attack had arrived yet again, and they were preparing themselves as they watched a blue light expanding from the landmass.
The light went on to cover every nook and cranny of the small city, lasting for a few seconds as the people in it began feeling the air around them change. A dense collection of essence was swirling around the city, and amazing scenes could be seen playing out.
In one location, a child that was on a swing set found himself thrown in the air as he used too much force, and surprisingly landed on the ground unharmed as he began to feel unknown strength coursing through him. A status panel appeared on his eyes soon after, as he stupendously realized he had somehow awakened.
Those that had some talent and luck found themselves with a status panel appearing in front of their eyes as many people underwent their awakening to become hunters all over the city, the converging essence being a catalyst for such a surprising event.
The veteran hunters found themselves being able to move faster and easier as if they were constantly receiving a buff from the air around them. They moved ecstatically as they stared at the landmass blocking the sky.
A top hunter and Admiral in Star City who held multiple S+ skills and was now a peak rank S, Elizabeth, was looking stupidly at the floating landmass as the air around her continued to change. She watched with surprise as just as it had appeared, the landmass began shrinking rapidly before it disappeared in the blink of an eye. She thought that she felt a gaze land on her in an instant from the disappearing landmass as she shook her head in confusion.
Clear skies returned as things returned to normal, but the city itself had experienced a huge change.
This scene repeated itself many times over the areas of the Blessed Empire where most people were congregated, as a magically floating Spiritual Land appeared and disappeared, leaving behind a changed environment where the essence had become increasingly dense.
This process was already happening naturally as the world continued to grow, and the levels of essence in the air would sooner or later reach a similar level as that of the Beast World. But just like how the lands in the Frozen Kingdom benefitted from [Boost Environment], the cities around the empire that experienced the same thing benefitted even more.
