This village, its people, the foxes, they were all in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in this world, NPCs didn't revive. If the foxes fell, it would be over. Completely and utterly game over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if to confirm his fears, a new system panel appeared before him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Heart of Calamity has decided to show you a distant vision.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex stared at the words, confused but resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have time to dwell on their meaning or question how this was even possible.
