Not far away from Achstone..
"He won't actually tell the guards about me right?" Sylias said.
She stepped on the rock's tip at a cliff, from there she could see her surrounding even from afar, on her left is Achstone's town, behind her is a lush grove with many uneven landscape, infront of her is a river that stretched all across the lands, going beyond the Achstone's wall, the river is located outside of the town, but people sometimes used it to wash their clothes or fishing for food, at last on her right, is a dirt road going beyond to the back of the mountain that is covering the rest of the view from that location.
"Well, isn't this beautiful— Definitely an other worldly vibe, im sure this type of landscape shape is impossible on earth.."
Sylias's ears twitched in joy and her tail wags excitedly, she held a light smile the entire time she watches the view, until finally she had to drop off of the rock and continue walking.
"Achstone is no longer a viable option to stay— Well im planning to leave sooner or later anyway."
While walking, Sylias looked at the sky and saw thick white clouds and bird flocks flying below it, the birds are chirping, and just then she also realized that there were many insects in this area.
"I guess the season right now is summer, that's why the sun is shining way brighter than usual.."
Sylias was surrounded with trees and the ground was a mess, tree roots were protruding out of the ground and sometimes there was even an area that is filled with dried fallen leaves, fortunately the amount of trees surrounding Sylias weren't as many as like a normal forest would have, so it was easy to navigate through, after all she is only at a grove.

Back in Achstone, at the Inn where Sylias had originally stayed in..
The inside of the inn is busy as usual, there have been more guests staying at the inn than before, and it was most likely due to newcomers and adventurers that came in after hearing the news that Mortem Eth has been killed in this town, they all want to see who is the person that have killed Mortem, and possibly learn from them.
At one of the table at the inn..
"Derec!! I'll get a bread and some tomato soup please!"
The person that just talked was Egar, the same man that passed out a few days ago because of his drinking habit.
"Right away!!" Said Derec, confirming the order.
"Oh? no beer this time too? What are you? trying to quit drinking? You have not ordered any beer for the last 3 days— Did you got traumatized after passing out that day?" Said one of Egar's friend at the side of his table with a smirk.
His two other friends started chuckling and mocks him for being a drunkard even though they're not any different from him.
"Im just trying to control my habit, and as if i would be traumatized by just that you assholes, if one thing made me traumatized, its gotta be my wife's lecture when she found out that i passed out because i was too drunk!"
"Hehe.. Your wife must be using her special spell to spank you, that broom she have on the side of your house is way too dangerous HAHAHA!!"
"HAHAHAAHA!!"
"HAHAHAHAAHAA!!"
"Tch, say what you want.." Egar's clicked his tongue in embarrassment, but he doesn't want to let his friends know about it.
They chatted again for a bit, laughing with eachother and throwing jokes here and there, until finally Derec comes in with their order, Egar got his food of 3 breads and a tomato soup while his friends got a beer and salty cabbages, Derec had to come to their table twice since he doesn't have 4 arms to carry all of their orders.
"Here's your food." Derec Said, handing over the last order to Egar since he was the only one on that table to have a different order.
When Derec was about to leave and walked to his counter again, Egar suddenly stopped him and grabbed his hand.
"By the way Derec, where is the demihuman girl that is staying at your inn 3 days ago, i never saw her again, did she left?"
"Ahh, about her— Well i don't really know, when she arrived here 4 days ago, she said that she wants to stay for a week, and she gave me the money, but after she left the inn 3 days ago, the same day when the explosion at South-East area of the town happened, i never saw her again— Maybe she felt that this town is dangerous? that's why she left immediately."
"Aww what a bummer, i was hoping to see her again– Well i guess its understandable if she thinks that this town is dangerous now."
Suddenly, Egar's friend interrupted their talk.
"Egar, i wonder what your wife would think if she heard what you just said earlier.."
"Yeah yeah, i can't believe you're about to cheat on your wife to some-
"SSSHHHHHH!!! Shut up!!, don't act like you're not hoping the same thing you fucking perverts."
"AHAHAHAHAHAAA!!
"HAHAHAHAHAA!!"
Derec ignores the four of them and goes back to serving food to customer.

4 Years Later.. Monoghriad Big Forest, Inner Part.
SLASH!
A large two-headed snake just got cut in half, its head splitted into a separate part, and black blood began gushing out from its body, the snake body was large, it is approximately 15 meters in length and 5 meters wide, at first glance it should look like a strong monsters that ruled the jungle, but in this world, even that scary looking snake can be food for slimes if they evolved enough and gained enough intelligence to use spells and unique traits.
Sylias appeared out of the dense bushes and she now wears a different outfit that looks like something out of a video game set of equipment, it was mostly black and white, but there are gold outlines in some of the accessories and skirt, unlike before, Sylias now had completely understand with her power, she can freely use any magic that she learned when she played this character in Serpent Journey.
"This will be enough for a month." Sylias Said with a cold face as she approached the snake corpse and storing it in her inventory despite the snake's massive size.
Back when she used to play Serpent Journey, Sylias's character class is called Abyssal Hunter, its a class that can only be obtained using an item that dropped from Abyssal King Serpent dungeon boss, it has a chance of 0.1% of dropping, so it was incredibly rare.
But that rarity is understandable when you compare it with other classes, long story short, Abyssal Hunter is a Dark Element versatile class that domintes at fighting but also not bad at anything, and throughout the 4 years Sylias lived in the forest, she found out that her spell is not just restricted to only Abyssal Hunter class, she can use magic spell from her previous class before Abyssal Hunter, thus making her magic spell storage incredibly vast, she had some difficulties remembering some of the spells, but as time passes, she now knows every spells that she can use.
'How long have i been living here, i forgot..' Sylias thought as she walked to her home.
2 Minutes passed and she arrived infront of a house made out of wood logs, its not that large, could be called average size but a little bit larger.
Sylias dropped the snake's corpse infront of her house before walking inside.
"It's almost night.."
'Let's cook some of the snake meat, after that i'll go take a bath at the lake..'
Sylias lived at the inner part of Monoghriad Forest, this place is one of the places in this world where almost no human can enter, not without passing through countless of monsters and beasts along the way, not far away infront of her house is a dirt path that Sylias built, the path leads to an open space where it was surrounded with rock cliffs and also some caves, on the left from her house, there is a lake that Sylias usually use to wash and also play around if she ever feel bored, on the right from her house, there is a place full of glowing plants and flowers, its most likely valuable and can be sold at a high price, but Sylias didn't care about it, atleast the place was beautiful so she occassionally goes there to enjoy nature, and lastly behind her house, there's a cave full of minerals like mithril, iron, and golds, but it was a bit far, Sylias also never have any interest with those kinds of things so she rarely goes there.
"The sunset is warmer than usual.."
At the very last moment before the night took over, Sylias watched the sunset as she is about to cook using campfire.
