The wind howled through the trees as Marcus stood at the entrance of the darkened forest, feeling a sense of dread settle in his chest. He had been to many places, seen countless strange sights, and faced dangers that no ordinary man could ever comprehend. But this place—this eerie stretch of land known only as the "Veil of Forgotten Paths"—felt different.
His system, which had been eerily quiet for the past few hours, suddenly pinged in his mind. Ding!
System Notification: "Warning! You have entered the Veil of Forgotten Paths. This area is known for distorting time, space, and memory. Proceed with caution."
Marcus raised an eyebrow. "Distorting time and space, huh? Sounds like the perfect place for a Sunday stroll."
System Response: "This is not a joke. The Veil of Forgotten Paths has claimed many travelers, altering their perception of reality. There is a 67% chance of you becoming lost forever if proper precautions are not followed."
