Once the team understood just how dangerous the corridor truly was, they moved closer together and proceeded with extreme caution.Every step had to be considered carefully. They did not want to trigger another trap, especially after everything they had already encountered. Under that nerve-wracking pressure, they slowly made their way toward the halfway Volt.The halfway Volt was marked by a statue of a blind goddess, its eyes covered by a strip of silk tied around its head. However, the moment the team passed around the statue and continued down the corridor, something strange happened.The statue slowly turned its head backward.The silk covering its eyes slipped slightly.ShingggA pair of unnatural red lights appeared beneath the cloth.From that moment, the illusions affecting Rhys and Kratos became far more intense.The statue was an ancient runic artifact designed to amplify mental magic and illusions. Once the team entered its range, the effects became significantly stronger,

[Welcome to Legendfall!][You have skipped the character creation process.][Your nickname, Perrin, is available.][You’re about to be sent to The Tutorial Island #369][5…4…3…2…1…][You have entered The Tutorial Island.]Rainbow colors filled Kael’s vision before slowly parting like a curtain, revealing the world waiting before him.Just like the first players who had entered the game three months earlier, Kael stared in amazement at the scenery spread beneath him. A dense forest stretched across the land like an endless green carpet, while a massive mountain rose in the distance, its sharp peak piercing through the clouds. Beyond the coastline, the vast ocean stretched toward the horizon, its untamed waters crashing against the shore.A small wooden cabin stood behind him.Kael barely noticed it.He was too busy taking in everything around him. Before he realized what he was doing, he had turned around his starting point several times, completely absorbed in the scenery and unaware

“I missed,” Kael said, looking at the arrow buried in the soft mud.Garrick chuckled. “Keep going.”Kael nodded and tried again. He placed another arrow against the bowstring, drew it back, and released.The arrow missed the effigy again.This time, however, Kael had put more strength into his arm. The extra force gave the arrow greater speed, and although his aim was still off, it landed closer to the target.The effigy stood nearly fifty meters away, yet Kael had already missed ten times.Even so, there was clear progress with every attempt. He was gradually getting used to the bow, learning how much strength he needed and beginning to understand how difficult it was to turn that strength into accurate shots.In fact, the harder he pulled, the worse his accuracy became.Kael was putting so much effort into getting the arrow to the target that he was forgetting the more important part, actually hitting it.Garrick kept his thoughts about Kael’s potential to himself and continued enco

The forest’s outer edge was far denser than it had appeared from the cliff.Thick roots pushed out of the earth and tangled together with the roots of neighboring trees, creating a natural barrier around the forest. Some of them were so large that Kael could climb them, while the gaps between others were wide enough for an adult to squeeze through.“From the cliff, those trees didn’t appear this big,” Kael said.He hooked his fingers into the rough crevices of one enormous root and pulled himself upward. At certain points, the root was wide enough for him to rest his forearms against it and use his upper body to haul himself higher.After reaching the top of the first barrier, Kael looked down through one of the gaps.The inside of the forest was much darker than the area outside.The thick canopy above blocked most of the sunlight, leaving the forest floor covered in shadows. The trees seemed to form a vast maze that stretched toward the base of The Unconquerable Mountain.And somewh

Kael’s plans did not go quite as expected.He had originally intended to spend his time hunting wolves, but after asking Garrick to teach him some basic survival skills, his schedule quickly became much fuller. Garrick, who had gradually started to feel more like a big brother than a tutorial helper, seemed eager to pass on everything he knew. He looked to be in his late twenties at most, while Kael was only eighteen, and the difference in experience between them made Garrick an excellent teacher.What started as a few simple survival lessons soon turned into detailed training that covered both wilderness skills and parts of the game’s system that could greatly help Kael during his hunts.Garrick first taught him how to use friction and dry leaves to start a fire without relying on modern tools. Then came the less pleasant lessons. Kael learned where to cut into a carcass, how to remove useful materials without damaging them, and how to prepare tanning solutions by mixing wood ashes w
