Theobald’s war cry cracked through the air like a starting pistol—sharp, clear, and sending everyone charging forward.HOWL!The horned wolves sprang into action right away and began descending towards the cornered crew with an intention to slaughter."Yaaaa!!"The soldiers let out a thundering war cry, their eyes shining with readiness and their feet moving dauntlessly.The small distance between the crew and the wild beasts closed in an instant.CLANG!CLING!The sounds of metal colliding against sharp claws rang out almost immediately.HOWL!One of the horned wolves charged furiously toward William, its red eyes glowing with clear bloodlust.Letting out a sharp howl, it lifted its forelimb furiously, revealing its sharp claws and immediately swung at the hero at lightning speed.But the hero easily blocked its lightning-fast strike with his sword, as though it were a punch from an average human child.William pushed back the claws with his sword. A surge of adrenaline rushed throug

It was late evening; the scorching afternoon sun had slipped below the horizon, leaving the sky a soft wash of violet and indigo.The crew could be seen stalling at the end of the darkwood forest, observing the visage of the feared bridge of the south. King Julian and Osborne stepped down from the carriage to observe the bridge as well.From their position, they could only see the beginning of the feared bridge as it was covered in a faint crimson fog that made it impossible to see past a small distance.There was a lot of this faint crimson fog, it consumed the entirety of the bridge and the area surrounding it, cloaking both the structure and the mysteries that lie beyond the bridge.GULP!Members of the crew became nervous at the sight of the natural mystery.They became really concerned about their survival.Would they even make it past the bridge?What kind of abnormalities would they meet while crossing?If there were any abnormalities, would they even be able to defeat them?Nu

A headcount was conducted before the crew proceeded into the mysterious landmark. Their population totaled only 33, a solemn contrast to the hundred-plus at the beginning of the journey.While the population had dwindled drastically, the crew did not lose sight of their mission. Hope still blossomed amongst them in the fight against the dark side.A tense hush settled over the crew, broken only by the soft rustle of cloth and the distant ominous sound emerging from the cavity of the bridge.The morning sun was still fresh and bright.At the moment, the crew could be seen strolling towards the bridge, only a few minutes away. They all had their makeshift nose masks wrapped around their nose and mouth, revealing only their determined eyes, which stared at the path ahead with varying glints.At the front, the hero, the captain and the wizard strolled together, bravely. The king followed right behind them, escorted by the remainder of the crew.Three minutes later, the crew were now stand

After losing two comrades to the everlasting crimson fog, the crew continued their journey silently and cautiously. The ominous crimson fog and a solemn atmosphere overshadowed the crew as they proceeded forward.The unnatural warmth as well as the frequent appearance of human corpses reminded the crew every second about its evil powers. It spread an unrelenting fear amongst everyone.At the front of the proceeding crew, William strolled closely beside the captain and the wizard, both walking at his sides. He could see the solemn expression on the face of the wizard as well as the vengeful glint in the eyes of the captain.The hero shook his head — he too could feel what those two felt. But what use was letting that feeling overshadow him? The everlasting crimson fog is nature, nature can't be killed.Silently and steadily, another three hours went by slowly since the death of the two soldiers.Over the past solemn three hours, there have been four more screams of pleasure and pain, d

William hadn't even gotten the chance to understand why the rainbow-colored bird was singing at such a time when a loud commotion erupted outside. Screams of pain and terror thundered across the entire encampment, worrying the hero.DING-----URGENT QUESTOBJECTIVE: Protect the kingREWARD: 1000 EXPPENALTY: None-----‘What are we up against this time? Can’t someone have some time to rest in this godforsaken world?’William heaved a long sigh, opened his inventory and equipped his weapon before storming out of his tent.“Hero! We’re under attack!”William met a young soldier standing outside his tent. The soldier was shivering, as was evident in his hands that failed to hold his sword properly.William nodded his head and sprinted towards the centre of the commotion.The big campfire was still burning intensely, providing sharper illumination over the chaos than the moon hanging in the sky.Surrounding the big campfire were the crew members and countless abnormalities.Corrupted hum
