Chapter 45: Act 1, Chapter 2: The Forest of Monsters 5 (Farming)

Bounding from one towering tree to another, I traversed the forest with my head held high, scanning the surroundings for the right location.

The surreal sensation of being in this virtual world felt both new and strangely familiar.

It mirrored the game perfectly, down to the smallest details, making it easy for me to navigate without consulting a map and saving precious time.

'I know I only need her luck stat to boost my chances for this small arc.... But was I a bit too harsh just now?'

I pondered, stealing a glance behind me.

Was it the right decision to leave Princess Snow alone like that?

After a moment of reflection, I shook my head.

If my resolve could be swayed by guilt so easily, how could I expect to overcome the challenges ahead, especially against foes like Liyana?

Perhaps it was selfish, but to achieve my goal, I had to do whatever it took.

Besides, Snow was hardly in any real danger.
