After going through all sorts of guns available in the Weapon shop, Aron felt a bit conflicted about what kind of gun should he actually choose that could be useful in all scenarios….
Currently, the Weapon shop had only three types of guns available, which included Pistols, Shotguns, and Rifles…
Aron was having a hard time choosing between a Shotgun and a Rifle, both were long-range weapons with a Rifle being more suited for long-range, while a shotgun was more versatile and suitable for mid to long-range shooting…
Similar to the armor shop, there were different rankings of weapons to choose from. Starting from the common ranked weapons with a light green background, then the rare ranked weapons with a light blue background, there were also epic ranked weapons with a purple background, and so on…
After going through all the best available shotguns and rifles in the weapon shop within the right price range, he finally selected four options to choose from…

—---------------------------------------------
Looking at the four selected guns, he couldn't help but feel slightly regretful for not being able to buy all four of them…
'Sigh…I wish I could just buy both the Eye Of Regelia and Bahamut…these two are really the best in their own aspects. The other two are also good for their price point.'
But unknowingly he kept checking on the Bahamut…The Bahamut was a beautiful-looking shotgun with a long sleek black body made from the bones of an actual dragon, it did not have the metallic finish or sheen like any normal shotgun but a smooth stone-like texture giving it a unique touch.
The entire body of the shotgun was made from the same material and had a unibody design, its entire surface was covered in red runic inscriptions of an unknown ancient language…
Looking at the Bahamut, he felt as if it was calling out for him…
'Sigh…I guess I will have to buy the Eye Of Regelia next time then…'
Sighing inwardly, he clicked on the buy button and bought the Bahamut without hesitation…
Soon a beautiful matt-black shotgun appeared in front of him, floating in mid-air…holding the gun, he felt its weight, it was definitely not light even with his monstrous strength attribute he still felt it a bit heavy….
'Damn! This thing must be easily 400-500 Kgs….I can't even imagine its firepower if the build itself is so monstrously robust!'
'Can't wait to try it out!!!'
Once his preparations were done, he once again started moving deeper into the forest through the gray fog. After walking continuously for more than a couple of hours he began hearing a faint sound of water flowing…
'A river?'
'Now that I think about it…I haven't drunk any water ever since I found myself here… it's more like I have stopped feeling thirsty at all, like this new body of mine doesnt need any water for sustenance, just some Nargy will be fine…'
Shaking his head he continued moving closer to the sound's source.
After walking for a while, soon the sight of an extremely wide river shrouded in gray fog appeared before him…
Everywhere he turned, all he saw was the mysterious gray fog…'This fog indeed is not ordinary like I suspected…but now it appears to be even more mysterious than I previously thought….'
'Not only the entire eastern forest region is enshrouded in it, but it appears…everywhere, everyplace beyond the easter forest region is enshrouded in it…'
From where he was standing, he could only see and sense everything up to an area of 70-80 meters around him…although with his enhanced senses, he should've been able to sense everything up to an area of 120 meters around him…but due to the mysterious gray fog that was hindering his senses, he was only able to sense the surrounding area near the riverbank…
As he continued to move closer to the riverbank…the surroundings appeared a bit clearer to him, the riverbank was rocky, filled with large rocks and stones…there was no sign of vegetation around the place, only the steadily flowing pitch black water….
'Wait—Why is the river water black!? Is it because of the poor lighting or something is unsettling about this water….'
Not daring to touch the eerie black water, he just observes it from afar…After standing there for a while staring into the pitch-black water, he slowly started feeling something from it…it was—it was a faint sense of doom…like faint whispers of death…
Feeling the hair on his body rise, he quickly stepped back staring cautiously at the dark waters of the eerie black river…
'That feeling just now…it felt like staring right into the eyes of Death…like looking at my inevitable doom…There is definitely something wrong with this river…F#ck that! This entire place feels awfully wrong and eerie!!'
Shaking his head he starts walking across the river back, looking for a way to move ahead without coming in contact with the eerie black waters…
But even after walking for a couple of hours, he still finds the river back to be never-ending…
'Sigh…I guess I have to cross the dark river some way or the other…'
While thinking about the ways to cross the river, suddenly he remembers something that he had been ignoring all this time…
