Kaelion: Ah… I never thought I'd miss this dark and gloomy atmosphere…
But I'm really glad I can see you again…
(He turns around)
System Message… The storm is becoming unstable…
Kaelion: What's this? The storm is reversing…
System Message: The storm for the Starting Village (Fox's Lair) has been destroyed…
System Message: Safe zone unlocked…
Starting Village, Lumina Village, has been declared a safe zone…
Kaelion: What is this? A barely visible barrier descends from above like a shield…
The weather clears a little…
That must mean I can rest safely in the starting village without any monster attacks…
(He enters a random ruined house in the starting village)
(Sits down, leaning against the wall)
Kaelion: Ah… Resting… I've really missed this feeling…
Some time later…
Kaelion: I think I've rested enough… At least I now have a small safe area.
This time I can freely explore my surroundings.
(He leaves the house and heads to the village entrance)
He descends slightly and reaches the plain he explored previously.
Last time, death was on my heels… Now I am death itself…
(He continues walking a bit further)
Kaelion: Huh? Is that structure…? Abandoned Elf ruins? Or destroyed…
(He approaches)
System Message… You have left the safe zone…
Kaelion: So my safe zone limit is roughly 1 kilometer…
Doesn't matter. I'm really curious about these ruins.
(As he steps outside, the weather returns to its dark, gloomy state)
Kaelion: Aha… Just as I expected.
(He heads toward the ruins)
Long marble columns are covered in thick vines…
This place has truly been abandoned for a very long time.
Small shafts of light illuminate parts of the ruins, but never enough to fully brighten the area…
Kaelion: I'm guessing this area belonged to the Elves.
Either they abandoned it or retreated…
I don't think the Elves would leave willingly; something must have forced them to retreat…
What could it have been?
(He moves deeper into the interior of the ruins…)
System Message… Ruins ??? Required level to enter: 5-15. Entry denied…
Kaelion: 5 to 15? Good thing I didn't go in… Even though I feel stronger, there's a huge gap between each level…
I'd better continue my exploration elsewhere…
I'll come back to these ruins later, for sure.
(A little further, he hears wolf howls…)
Kaelion: Wolves? Interesting… Let's go check it out. :)
Eh? What's this?
Two different wolf species are fighting each other… Looks more like a territorial battle.
