As Kamiyagawa walked along the deserted highway for a short while, he felt something was amiss.
About seven or eight minutes had passed.
He hadn't encountered a single monster!
Thinking back to his time at Karyou Ghost School, creatures like the fortune baby monsters were ubiquitous.
"Could it be that the map is different, so the circumstances are different? Are there no small monsters here?"
As Kamiyagawa thought this, his grip on the wooden sword involuntarily tightened.
He always felt something was off.
It was as if something had been following him from a distance, not too far yet not too close, since a while back.
Kamiyagawa stopped in his tracks and surveyed his surroundings.
All around him, the twisted trees cast ghostly shadows, obscuring most of the light.
"What's that?"
After looking around, Kamiyagawa indeed spotted something that merited attention.
Amidst the dark shadows of the surrounding trees, there was a white object standing about fifty paces from him.
