The walk through the forest was quiet, save for the occasional rustle of leaves stirred by the soft breeze.
Feng Chen's pace was steady, his mind preoccupied with the weight of the recent system updates and the journey ahead.
The forest, now bathed in the warm hues of a setting sun, seemed to echo his introspection, its serene beauty a stark contrast to the storm of thoughts swirling in his head.
When he reached the familiar cliff, he paused, letting the expansive view of the horizon fill his vision.
The golden light stretched across the landscape, painting the dense forest below in soft amber and casting long shadows that danced in rhythm with the swaying trees.
Feng Chen moved to the edge and lowered himself to sit, his legs swinging freely over the side.
For a long moment, he said nothing. His gaze was fixed on the distance, his expression calm but contemplative.
Finally, he broke the silence, his voice low yet resolute.
