It was currently stuffed with energy drinks, water bottles, snacks, and some spare clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I’d changed into a black satin shirt with the sleeves all rolled up, and a matching pair of jeans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now was my outfit suitable for fighting? Probably not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But did I look good while surrounded by nightmarish creatures that seemed as if they’d crawled straight out of hell? Hell yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just like my father had always taught me — one should look presentable even when running for their life. So even if you die, you’re already dressed well enough for an open-casket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Okay, fine! My father didn’t teach me that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Or anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But let’s not unpack my daddy issues right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So we’re moving west?\" Lily asked, walking beside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was slashing at the oversized grass, bushes, and vines with her new spear to clear the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We tried not to make too much noise, but moving quietly through a forest this dense was like trying to sneak through a fireworks factory with a marching band.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t an easy task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, credit where credit’s due — as much as I like to rag on Lily for being one of the more useless main characters (okay, maybe I’m a bit biased), herSoul Arsenalwas actually really useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d built herDeckin a way that made it highly unlikely for any threat to creep up on her unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catching her off-guard was nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She always had a Card activated that would quickly alarm her of any life-threatening danger coming at us way ahead of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once she was alarmed, she’d deploy her Origin Card and use her foresight to see exactly what threat was approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she’d either change route and move around that threat or prepare a proper counter to deal with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if all that somehow still wasn’t enough, she also had a bunch of trap Cards she could plant around wherever we stopped to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Cards could trigger instantly if someone tried to sneak up on us, not only alerting us but also ensnaring or even outright neutralizing the intruder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, her danger detection and threat perception were off the charts. Thanks to her, we’d already avoidedseveraldeadly ambushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traveling with her had really made navigating this hell-forest a bit easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only abit, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, we’re moving west,\" I answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you’recompletelysure there are others stranded here like us?\" she asked — something she had already asked quite a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rolled my eyes. \"Lily, asking the same question over and over again won’t change the answer. Yes, there are others here. I know it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m only asking because you’re not telling mehowyou know. Why are you so sure?\" she pressed. \"Is it just a hunch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I threw my hands up in exasperation. \"Oh, my god! No, it isnota hunch! I know it for a fact!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked like she wanted to keep grilling me, but wisely decided not to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she let out a soulful sigh. \"If it’s true, I wonder if Michael’s here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if he’s doing alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, he wasn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>•••\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhere not too far away...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Godswill stood completely still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he was neck-deep in a swamp pool full of... eyeballs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyeballs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Literaleyeballs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They blinked in sync.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They squelched when they shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael whispered to himself, \"Okay. Stay calm. Don’t panic, Michael. And don’t youdarescream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the eyeballs brushed against his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He screamed. \"ARGHAAAAA!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a gigantic six-legged bird shrieked from the towering trees above — its body rotten and decayed, its wings nothing but bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a corpse-bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AMinorSpirit Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anddefinitelynot something Michael wanted to draw the attention of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it had killed two Cadets just a couple of minutes ago. Michael had arrived too late to save them... but right on time to witness the slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yeah. He didnotwant to fight it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, it had now seen him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rotting bird let out a bone-rattling screech and dive-bombed toward him from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael whimpered and cursed his fate. \"...Okay. Now it’s time to panic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>•••\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasabsolutelysure he was not doing well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because aside from the fact that he couldn’t even use his Origin Card when alone — since he needed someone else to copy powers from — he was also theprotagonist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all protagonists must always suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suffering builds character, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank the godsIwasn’t the protagonist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>•••\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We kept walking for a good part of an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We did run into a fewharrowinglylarge arthropods along the way, but nothing I couldn’t handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My innate power was enough to take down most beasts that crossed our path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...For now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I knew the deeper we went into theNoctveil Wilds— and the lower we descended from one plateau to the next — the more the threats would begin to spike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more dangerous and powerful the beasts would become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the more hostile the environment would turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were still a long, long way from theGolden Sanctuary. And the worst was yet to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew all that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew and I couldn’t help but feel I was underprepared for this journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t have anyRare-grade offensive Cards in my Arsenal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hell, I didn’t even have my sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurieth was still somewhere on the other side of theCrown of Thorns. I had called it, and I could sense it coming, flying to me as fast as it could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it would take days — maybe even weeks — for Aurieth to scale theCrown of Thorns, then travel across this endless jungle before finally reaching me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weeks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weeks before I’d finally be at my best!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But what if something unexpected happens in this time?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What if one of the main characters dies and I lose a valuable pawn crucial to my future plans?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What if I myself ends up in a life-or-death situation and don’t have the strength to get out of it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these worst-case scenarios started piling up in my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I clenched my fists. Then let out a long sigh and forced myself to clear my thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Right,’I told myself.’Thinking about it won’t change anything. It is what it is.
