The map first appeared on Rin's system, but the others also gained access to it through their shared bond.
However, beyond showing the layout of the area, the map did not have any other functions yet.
"It looks like we need to look for more fragments to complete the map and find the game master. Let's head toward this valley next. I have a feeling there is something there."
Rin was not much of a gamer, but Albus had been one before the apocalypse. So he was put in charge of navigating the map.
As a former player, Albus had sharp instincts and a good sense for where hidden treasures might be. So he led the way toward the entrance of the valley when they suddenly heard loud footsteps approaching.
"Everyone, hide."
Rin ordered in a low voice before grabbing Shelly and pulling her behind a rock.
The others quickly followed his example and hid as well. They watched as a huge monster walked past their hiding spot before suddenly pausing.
