The routes are restored. The foundry is running. Now everyone needs somewhere to meet. Lake Junction was never meant to become anything important.

One thriving courtyard made me a curiosity. The dead field outside the wall is about to make me a threat. I respawned into the System’s most laughable class and climbed to Rank D on a courtyard everyone wrote off. Now the field’s claim opens — and the director doesn’t say no. He says prove it.
