After resting for the night Ace and Angel decide to explore more of the Endless Forest.
Ace and Angel decide to explore south of the village. As they walk a thick fog fills the area.

The giant Toad sends it giant tounge out, it bends and curves till it strikes Angel square in the chest, this strike punctures a hole in Angel's chest leaving her instantly dead on the ground before she could even react to the attack.
Ace charges at the Toad, suddenly the Toads giant tounge comes sweeping from Ace's left, he reacted by summoning his meteor shield and blocking the strike pushing Ace back a few meters before stopping the impact leaving Ace unharmed.
Ace throws his shield at the Toads tounge cutting it in half before the toad could retract it fully.
The toad in a croak of anger spews out a lime green gas that forms a poisonous area around it.
Ace immediately jumps away before the gas reaches him, but stumbles on a tree root causing him to fall backwards and down a small cliff.
Upon awakening Ace finds himself in a tight valley that seams to keep on going on both sides. His arm is broken and he has a few deep cuts and gashes all over him (you could say he is on 1 HP)
Ace immediately uses this opportunity to activate his newly upgraded Heal Pulse and to remember the fight that had just occurred and how he lost his biggest crush right in front of him.
"Geez… that toad was powerful I didn't expect that he could be so strong to kill us but it was. I thought that we would be safe in here if we where smart"
________________________________________
A few hours later
After most of Ace's wounds have healed he gets up and starts to walk down the path he keeps on going and as he goes the walls around him gets taller and the path gets narrower.
Ace starts walking sideways as the path is super narrow. After 5 hours of travel through this narrow path, the path opens up to a land devoid of any and all life with dark black fog filling the air that feels and smells of death and fear. The few trees in the area are 4 times bigger than the trees in the Endless Forest.
"Ding… Ancient Forest discovered"
Ace looking around as he struggles to breath, as he moves through the fog he gets a sharp pain in his chest as if his soul is being removed from his body. Ace decides to retreat back the Valley and go the opposite direction but to keep this place in mind for future adventures.
As he makes it back to the valley the pain in his chest disapates and he feels back to normal.
After another long and painful trip Ace makes it back to the open space of the Valley and he keeps on going till it leads him back to where the fog starts of where they fought the giant toad. He keeps walking north to make it back to the Village.
When Ace gets back to the village he goes to the elder and talks him what happened
"I'm sorry my dear man, but in life people get lost to the void and we can't do anything. All we can do is toughen our hide and handle the punches sadly" the elder says with a grim expression patting Ace on the back.
Ace smiles "thank you elder" he leaves and goes back home to to cover his energy and prepare for what happens next.
"Ding… Attention all fighters in the dungeon, you all have survived the perilous jouney of the dungeons all those who have made it to a second level of a dungeon will receive a BOON" Ace and everyone else hears in the head from the dungeons. Ace expecting to receive nothing like last time as this happens once every 2 years.
"Ding… You have received a BOON from the dungeons. You found The Ancient Forest which is level 2 of The dungeon of the endless forest. Your BOON is +2 levels and +2 power level to earth and metal element Blessings"
Ace stands up in shock. "Fuck me I didn't realise I found one today. And why are the BOONs so powerful"
