Phone in hand, his eyes scanned the screen with precision, flicking through listings of settlement agencies—some official, others freelance-based. Each offered different packages: housing, permits, safety guarantees, mana insulation services, proximity to Labyrinth gates…
His thumb hovered over one listing for a moment longer than the others: "Obsidian Anchor Settlements – Durable, Affordable, and Licensed."
He tapped it open, skimming through the details—pricing tiers, available housing units, and reviews. Not great—but not terrible either.
But with the amount of money sitting in his account now, he wasn't about to settle for something basic.
Not anymore.
He closed the page.
"Still haven't found a place to your liking?" Mia asked, leaning over slightly, eyes scanning his screen.
Ethan gave a small nod. "Yeah."
He paused, then chuckled. "That too."
