Chapter Index

    A forest that has turned completely white.

    It took a whole day.

    It took longer than expected, but considering that it only took a day to color an entire forest with light, it was quite fast.

    however.

    “Do we have to do this four more times?”

    It was so annoying.

    I wanted to quit now, but

    Ugh…

    The forest roared once, a single leaf fluttering and falling before us.

    It is not a white leaf dyed with light, nor a green leaf before coloring, but a transparent leaf with no visible color.

    My hand was fully visible through the leaves.

    I checked the information.

    ===========

    Name: Clean leaves.

    Grade: Unique.

    Description: Ingredients for making perfect water of life.

    Function: A leaf that makes you feel clean just by holding it.

    ===========

    Wow.. so unique.

    Certainly, from the moment I got my hands on this, I felt the same sense of satisfaction as after finishing cleaning.

    however.

    “The perfect water of life.”

    The level of Water of Life we currently have is Unique.

    The only material, leaves, is a unique grade.

    If you combine them, you get a level one level higher.

    It was said that the perfect water of life is redundary.

    At this point, I’m curious.

    “Why on earth did Maris try to save this?”

    “Well.. I don’t know either.”

    Mini Me gently scratched the back of her head and avoided my gaze.

    Even without asking Afrieh, I knew he was lying.

    Okay, I didn’t expect to talk about it right away.

    “For now, let’s move on to the next forest.”

    “I understand. But father. Where are you going next? Nearest month? Or deer?”

    The drawing of the great sword and the dragon’s head is not yet at the level we can reach.

    If you take things one step at a time, a path will open up one day.

    “Let’s go to the deer.”

    With those words, everyone put their brooms into their inventory and started preparing to move.

    *

    “This is the second forest, deer.”

    As depicted in the picture.

    There were numerous deer roaming around in the forest.

    Is everyone fearless or confident?

    Even when it saw us, it didn’t run away, but was staring intently like someone seeing something strange.

    “I feel like a monkey in a zoo.”

    “I’ve never been to a zoo.”

    “Just! That’s right! That’s right!”

    Perhaps because it was embarrassing to pretend to know, Afrie screamed for no reason.

    At that sound, the deer gradually came closer to Apriye.

    “Well, what is it? you guys. Are you trying to fight me now?”

    Brightly shining eyes.

    The hostility that had existed just a moment ago was gradually disappearing.

    Okay, what would you do if you fight? It’s better to just live in peace…

    “Ah… it’s annoying. I just want to give up everything and go to sleep.”

    “Haam~.. Me too. I’m so sleepy that I feel like my eyes will close at any moment.”

    “Master.. How about just taking a nap? Those deers don’t seem to have any intention of attacking us anyway.”

    “Is that so?”

    I stretched my arms upward and continued talking.

    “It’s hard to come back after cleaning just now. Shall we take a break for a moment? How about a mini me?”

    “Me too. Good. I already felt unwell.”

    Mini Me’s body is twice as big as that of a normal person.

    It was difficult to move around while cleaning the forest.

    As I kept getting hit by trees and grass, I was very stressed.

    “Yes. We all rest together.”

    Feeling drowsy, we lay down and closed our eyes.

    Just before I closed my eyes, I felt the deer approaching.

    I couldn’t resist.

    Because my body has already fallen half into dreamland…

    “Gasp!”

    When I came to my senses later and woke up, it wasn’t a forest.

    A flower that is weakly illuminated in the pitch-black darkness and the current scene seen from it.

    “Cave…?”

    “You’ve finally woken up.”

    At the sound of a voice coming from next to me, I became alert and stood up.

    Ugh.

    Perhaps because I woke up in a hurry, my head was spinning and I couldn’t straighten up for a moment.

    “It is not good to wake up suddenly. Please sit down first. I have no intention of harming you.”

    “Who are you..”

    It wasn’t a human voice.

    To be exact, it’s not a sound that rings in your ears, but rather a sound that sounds like it’s ringing in your head.

    Tap, tap, tap.

    A sound like horses’ hooves echoed inside the cave, revealing an appearance.

    “..Deer? no. To call it a deer.”

    The magic that was felt on the outside was different.

    It is difficult to say that it is an ordinary animal.

    “Shinsu..?”

    “Shinsu… It’s not wrong. To be exact, it is called a spirit object.”

    If it is a spirit being, it refers to its state before becoming a spirit beast.

    However, this did not mean that the deer, a spiritual creature, was not sacred.

    Its entire body had a turquoise glow, and it had a talent for making people feel the joy of being alive and breathing just by its presence.

    “So why did the spirit bring me here.”

    “I didn’t bring it here.”

    “What is that..”

    “My children brought you here.”

    “..What are you talking about? That’s it.”

    Youngmul explained the situation.

    “I just told the children to keep dangerous people out of the forest.”

    “But why us.”

    “That’s probably…”

    Youngmul was in deep trouble.

    ‘The sound coming from that person. Probably not from this world. Is that person truly harmful to us? ‘Could it be a disaster?’

    Wiggle.

    The deer spirit continued to have the same dream for the past two years.

    The continent was created by the hands of strangers from another world. The world is on fire.

    The black flame that burns the world burns all life. The sight of continents being erased from the map.

    After having such a nightmare, I wondered if I could tell the truth to the man in front of me.

    still.

    “He doesn’t seem like a bad person.”

    “Your father is not a bad person.”

    “You woke up like this. Braaknath, the spirit of this forest, greets the young dragon.”

    The spirit being Brakinas bowed his head towards the awakened Apriye.

    I guess it’s because we’re used to it.

    Dragons were the highest race among all races.

    Because he was still young, he had a hard time fighting the dragon. If it were a fortress, it wouldn’t be pushed by that dragon.

    “It’s my father. Those eyes are quite unpleasant.”

    “..I understand. But this is my first time hearing that a human is my father. So..”

    Braknath glanced at Afriye’s body and continued.

    “It’s not too late. It is much better to return to the dragon’s embrace and gain strength.”

    “Hey.”

    Afri’s speech became shorter.

    “How many years do you think I have lived?”

    “That’s…”

    Braknath thought.

    ‘No matter how much I gave him, he looked like he was around 200… no, 300 years old.’

    At that level, the young dragon’s body will open the way for the fortress.

    Even now, the path to the fortress was open to Afrie’s body at any time.

    I don’t know why, but I was rejecting it.

    “You look about 300 years old.”

    “Wrong. It’s only been 30 years since I was born.”

    “That doesn’t make any sense… No way, this person.”

    “That’s right. These are the things my father did for me. how is it? I’m jealous.”

    He took out equipment from his inventory and started showing off.

    It’s like a parent did this to their child? A tone of voice that seems to boast.

    I felt embarrassed listening to it.

    “Well.. I understand what Dragon said. Even so. The future I saw doesn’t change.”

    “The future…”

    I have never heard that spirits can see the future.

    If that were the case, players would have tried to capture the spirits even during the gaming days.

    “This is an ability that other spirits cannot. I have been able to see the future since I was born. If these abilities become known, people will come to me. I was hiding it until now.”

    “So.. huh? But why are you talking to me?”

    “A person who is trusted by Dragon. I also thought that I could trust it. Even so.”

    It seemed that Braknath’s future was at stake.

    “The future is the future. I don’t know what I saw. I just try my best for everyone.”

    “..Is that so? I know your answer. Now. May I ask why you came here?”

    “Here… Ah. That’s right.”

    I had forgotten.

    I took out a transparent leaf from my inventory and showed it to Braknath.

    “This is..”

    Braakinas also reacted as he was aware of the transparent leaves.

    “Where do I get this?”

    “We are helping this man find the perfect water of life.”

    “This person.. Is that so? It seems Maris has succeeded in finding the perfect water of life.”

    Maris found the perfect water of life?

    I heard you never found Mini Me?

    “Do you know Maris?”

    “I know. He came here about 10 years ago. Then he took some of my horn.”

    “If it’s a horn…”

    “Ingredients needed to create the perfect water of life.”

    for a moment. My mind is confused.

    then..

    ‘Maris found the water of perfect life… but Minime is looking for it… Maris knows the spirits here… ah… my head hurts.’

    It feels like there is too much information tangled together in a complicated way.

    Something.. is wrong.
