Exteriors - Dark Forest - Day
Lemone walks through the dense forest, her steps muffled by damp moss. He scans the shadows between the trees, on the lookout for the slightest sign of the sacred boars.
Lemone: (Talking to himself) "So where are the damn boars? I'm getting hungry."
Suddenly, a movement catches his attention. He sees a figure in the bushes, two glowing eyes staring at him in the dark.
Lemone: (Hesitantly) "Who's there?"
The figure moves closer, revealing a strange werewolf-like creature. Its sharp fangs gleam in the dim light, and its shaggy fur gives off an animal odor.
Lemone: (Stepping back) "Um... hello? Are you lost too?"
The creature growls and lunges at Lemone, its sharp claws ready to tear him apart. Lemone raises her dark swords, ready to defend herself.
Lemone: (Screaming) "Wait! We can talk!"
But the creature doesn't listen to him. She attacks relentlessly, and Lemone is forced to fight for his survival. He eventually manages to fend off the creature, but he is injured and exhausted.
Lemone: (Gasping) "Whew, that was hot. I almost passed."
He sits on a tree trunk and opens his virtual interface. He consults the world map and discovers that his new world is called "Aeternum". The map is huge, with no visible limits.
Lemone: (Intrigued) "Aeternum... A rather gloomy name. I hope I don't spend my life here."
He then consults the distance between him and the golden boars. He's still far away, but he's determined to find them.
Lemone: (Standing up) "Okay, let's rest a little and move on. These wild boars aren't going to hunt themselves."
He smiles, despite the fear that grips him. He knows he has a long road ahead, but he is willing to face the dangers of Aeternum to prove his worth to the dark entity.
Lemone has been walking for hours, following the directions on her virtual interface. He is exhausted and hungry, but he is also determined to accomplish his mission.
Suddenly he sees a clearing in the distance. In the middle of the clearing, a herd of wild boars graze peacefully. Their hair glows with golden light, and their sharp tusks are visible even from a distance.
Lemone: (Smiling) "Here they come at last! The golden boars."
He consults his virtual interface to check their level. They are level 10, a significant challenge for Lemone who is himself level 5.
Lemone: (Confident) "Okay, it's not a piece of cake, but I can do it. I've already defeated a higher level wolf, right?"
Suddenly, the deep, resonant voice of the dark entity is heard in his head.
Dark Entity: (Sneering) "A higher level wolf? Are you talking about that pathetic creature you encountered a few hours ago? She wasn't even level 1, poor idiot."
Lemone feels humiliated and ridiculous. He had thought he had accomplished a feat, but he was only a weakling compared to this insignificant creature.
Lemone: (Furious) "Shut up! I don't need your sarcastic comments!"
Dark Entity: (Still laughing) "Oh, but if you need it, my little demon. You are still so weak, so inexperienced. You have a lot to learn before you can become a true servant of darkness."
Lemone clenches her fists, angry and frustrated. He wants to prove to the dark entity that he is not weak, that he can accomplish great things.
Lemone: (In a determined voice) "I got it. I'm going to show you what I can do. I'm going to defeat these golden boars and bring you back their hearts."
He rushes towards the clearing, determined to meet the challenge and earn the entity's respect.
Lemone fights against the golden boars with unexpected ferocity. He uses his dark swords with surprising dexterity, chaining together quick and precise attacks. The wild boars, despite their size and power, are no match for his determination.
Dark Entity: (Whispering in his head) "Not bad, my little demon. You have potential. But don't forget that you are still far from being a true warrior of darkness."
Lemone ignores the dark entity's taunts and focuses on her fight. He dodges the boars' charges, parries their blows and counterattacks with deadly precision.
Suddenly, a feeling of power invaded him. He feels that his body is strengthening, that his senses are sharpening. He consults his virtual interface and discovers that he has gained a level. He is now level 9.

Lemone smiled, confident in her new skills. He steps back and takes a deep breath, focusing his dark energy into his swords.
Lemone: (In a deep voice) "Danse Macabre!"
He spins around, his swords tracing deadly circles in the air. A wave of black energy spreads around him, enveloping the golden boars.
In a split second, it's all over. The boars are reduced to small pieces, their lifeless bodies littering the floor of the clearing.
Lemone approaches the corpses and begins to search them. He recovers their hearts and their blood, two essential elements to accomplish his mission.
