The One-Horned Snake, after attacking and swallowing Francis, turned its eyes towards me. But it didn't take long for it to leave, leaving me alone in the cave. Its actions were so realistic that I didn't believe it was just an artificial intelligence.

Looking at the battlefield before my eyes, I couldn't help but exclaim.

"Wow, that was insane..."

I knew this snake was strong, but I didn't expect it to be this fiercely strong. With just one attack from its tail, Francis logged out. But it must be because he was an assassin, so his defense was weaker than other classes.

Luckily, I had the mutant lemongrass pouch on me, otherwise I would have become its victim.

I couldn't help but shiver as I remembered its overwhelming power.

"Well, I've achieved my goal anyway. Now I'll just find a secluded place and rest peacefully."

I had to leave this place. The smell of blood might attract some other scary creatures. I wasn't sure if I had enough things to avoid them all.

I quickly moved out of the cave, avoiding stepping on the puddles of pineapple juice on the ground.

Speaking of pineapple juice, I was really lucky. I had discovered a mutated wild pineapple bush growing near the lake shore in the area where I found the second flag. Thinking about using it as snake bait, I squeezed out some pineapple juice and threw it into the storage space. It was really smart of me to do that.

Well, why think so much. My job here was done. Now I just needed to find a place to rest while waiting for class to end.

I was slowly moving through the forest, trying to stay away from the area just now. Of course, I had to move carefully. I had come this far. If I died from carelessness, it would be a waste.

I continued to advance, and when I was far enough away from the battlefield, I started looking for a place to rest.

On the way, the number of monsters I encountered kept increasing, making it extremely difficult for me to avoid them. A week of training and I still couldn't use Convergence. I still couldn't stab accurately at a single point, so how could I dare to fight? I didn't have the confidence to fight while I still couldn't use the Andrea Sword Technique probably. Um...and my stats are suck.

"I'm near the border of the southern, central, and eastern areas..." I muttered while staring at the map.

'No wonder the number of monsters kept increasing...' I rubbed my eyebrows and thought.

I guess I should change direction. I don't have the ability to survive in places like this.

Thinking of what to do, I immediately turned around and left the area adjacent to the central area, away from the chaos. I headed along the border between the southern and eastern areas. I wanted to follow it and gradually go to the edge of the forest.

'But why do I feel so uneasy...'

While moving, an uneasy feeling slowly grew in my heart. That feeling was both uneasy and strange. It was as if I had forgotten something important.

'What did I forget?'

I tried to recall the events that would happen in this virtual reality lesson. It was just that every time I tried to dig into my memories, the headache would come uncompromisingly. But I persisted, ignoring the pain. This uneasy feeling made it impossible for me to stay still.
