Kaden trudged through the dense woods, his steps heavy but deliberate. He had changed into a fresh set of clothes from his system inventory, but the weight of the journey pressed on him. It felt like he had been walking for over an hour, yet he still hadn't found his way to the shelter. Frustration simmered within him, compounded by the knowledge that every step he took could lead him closer to a strong beast's den. The woods were alive with danger, and he had already encountered several Tier One beasts along the way. To make matters worse, his demon blood was like a beacon, drawing more beasts to him.
