The rusted hatch collapsed inward with a groan of failing hydraulic systems, and Kael’s reinforced boot crunched across the eerie fluorescent slime congealed in the corridor of the derelict space station🔦. As the top-tier "Scavenger Hunter" among interstellar salvagers, he’d spent three years tracking the remnants of the Void Cult, finally locating his target in this airspace abandoned by the Galactic Federation—the Abyssal Gloom Vortex Soul-Binding Curse Blade · Void Rift Piercing Death-Dealing Blood-Drinking Dagger, sealed in the core module of the "Forgotten" station.
