"No wonder people call it Castle Extingo."
West continued reading and discovered that the castle consisted of numerous floors.
However... unlike ordinary buildings where one climbed upward... Castle Extingo worked in reverse.
Everyone entering the rift appeared on the highest floor.
From there... the only path forward was downward.
Every descent brought explorers closer to richer treasures and greater danger.
The lowest floor... according to every available source, contained the greatest rewards in the entire castle.
It was also believed to house the legendary treasure Freya had spoken about.
West tapped the table thoughtfully. "So the deeper you go..."
"...the greater the reward."
"But also..."
"...the greater the chance you die."
He wasn't surprised. Nothing valuable ever came easily.
Another report that caught his attention, explained why Castle Extingo remained undefeated despite appearing every hundred years.
