The little flesh moun—ahem, the little red goat was playing around as the other goats ate the berries to fill their big bellies. Sometimes they would give some to the little goat, and it would put the berries in its mouth and start running around again.Soon it got tired from its antics and crouched down under a tree to rest. The fierce goat looked at the child once before ignoring it. Someone has to be mad like that gray wolf to attack someone from this group of red goats.As the little goat was lazing around, it heard a soft sound from behind it.It stood up and looked warily in that direction. But all it saw was a yellow pear dropped on the forest floor.The little goat became excited and salivated when it remembered the sweet taste of the pear. It ran forward excitedly but stopped when it was just about to reach it.It warily looked around to check for anything suspicious. Founding no problem, it started moving.Just as it reached its head to grab the pear, the pear slid far away
Anom tried to imitate the feeling he felt just after coming to this world. His focus was on his soul as he thought about the method Della talked about. The first part of the three realms that Della had explained to him was the method for developing his own energy.In this step, he had to develop his body by stimulating his internal energy and combining it with his body as a whole. Only when he can gain mastery over his own body and make it suitable enough to accept energy from the external world will he be able to step into the next level.Suddenly, his soul shivered as Anom sensed something new inside his body. No, it was not new. It was just that he had failed to notice it before.His soul, or more precisely, his spirit, released some spiritual energy. Anom tried to move it around and make it do his bidding.It was a bit difficult at the start, but soon he started manipulating this energy.This spiritual energy, which can also be called mind or mental energy, was the first step in i
"Damn it!"Anom cursed as he ran with all his strength. His movements were faster than before as he traveled around the trees in his path and dodged all the obstacles smoothly.But he was still not relieved.Anom looked at the thing in his hands and smiled bitterly. It was a fruit as big as an apple with a hard exterior. There were some green lines covering its dark brown surface.It was something that the sniffers gave to him a few minutes ago after they gathered back together. The group had divided themselves into small teams to make searching for prey easier.The leader's team brought this fruit. They said that they didn't know what it was, but a "big" monster was guarding it, so they considered the fruit precious and decided to steal it. They gave it to Anom and asked if it was of any use.To be honest, from the first moment Anom held the fruit in his hand, he knew that it was something beneficial for him. This fruit contains a huge amount of energy. Anom can use this energy to tr
The destroyed area gradually regained its calm.Just a few feet away from the edge of the destroyed area came a rustling sound.A human and a bunch of small creatures appeared from behind a shrub. They looked bedraggled, as the human male had dirt on his face and messed up clothes. The little black creatures' fur lost its shine because of the dust covering them from head to toe.Anom looked at his surroundings and couldn't help but take a deep breath while thanking his luck.While he knew that the beast was strong, the destruction it caused was more than what he had expected.He shook his head and looked at the sniffers. After seeing that all of them looked fine, besides their dirty appearance, he decided to leave.Man, it looked like we really provoked an overlord this time. Anom thought while on the way back. It was clear that the black-furred and green-striped beast was the boss of this part of the jungle.Anom realized that the fruit it was guarding was probably prepared for its c
"Stop!" was the final shout he heard before he stepped into the ruins and plunged into the abyss of darkness.Hastily, the sound of footsteps trailed behind as a small group of three followed closely, halting at the entrance of the ruins."You bastard!"The figure at the forefront cursed upon witnessing the man's entry. Their expressions revealed a mixture of anger and shame, as they felt embarrassed by their failure to apprehend a lone individual."Vice-Leader, should we pursue?" one of the others inquired, their voice tinged with fear and caution.Previous attempts to explore the ruins had been met with numerous obstacles and traps. Currently, only one elite team remained within. Venturing forward with just their numbers would be an exceedingly perilous undertaking."We have no choice. Can you shoulder the responsibility for failing the mission, especially when we were the ones entrusted with guarding that worthless stone?" The leader, now composed, resolved to venture into the ruin
The room remained enveloped in darkness until Anom swung the door open, allowing a sliver of light to illuminate the interior. As his eyes adjusted, he took in the scene before him.To the left, he spotted an array of camping equipment and digging tools neatly arranged, suggesting their use in archaeological expeditions. On the right, containers and stacks of paper caught his attention.The containers held an assortment of rock pieces, likely collected as samples from the ruins. Anom approached them, observing the intricate patterns and designs adorning the papers, which seemed to be related to the enigmatic ruins.His gaze swept across the room, and he noticed a barely discernible door nestled within the back wall. Constructed from the same material as the wall itself, it blended seamlessly, making it challenging to spot.Intrigued, Anom closed the distance and gently pushed the door. It yielded without resistance, indicating that it wasn't locked.'How careless,' Anom thought as he
Damn it! I knew this would happen. Anom thought helplessly as he examined the cuts on his arms. There were some on his back, too.He charged headfirst into the ruins and triggered the first trap. But he didn't even know how he triggered it. He kept walking at a speed that would enable him to react to traps.Out of nowhere, gusts of wind as sharp as blades swarmed over him. Out of instinct, he could only crouch down and cover his face."Seriously, what's up with this island?" He exclaimed, "I'll be made into French fries before I reach the end."His worries soon came true. Similar traps greeted him along the way. Wind blades, fire bursts, and even lightning attacks were understandable, but what was up with the wind blades? Not to mention the lightning. What kind of civilization did this ruin belong to?Did a chef design this ruin? First they tried to slice me; now they're employing different ways to cook me. Such silly thoughts helped Anom keep up his rationality as he moved through th
Anom looked at the shaking room wide-eyed. How did she do it? That was the only question on his mind.Cassana didn't give him time to think further. "Get ready. We're going back. Uh, I mean, I'm going back and you're coming with me.""Get back? But to where? And what about those people outside? Don't think that I'll carry you out with me." Anom stated, feeling weird as he listened to her."Humph! Fool." Cassana gnashed her teeth, but after looking at the stone, she helplessly waved her hand.Whoosh!The light screen glowed as it showed images from around the ruin. The exploration team members started panicking as the ruins shook. The team grabbed the scattered tools and started running towards the exit."Restore!"Anom was about to get more surprises. As she finished speaking, or more like giving a command, all the broken pieces of wall and the like started floating. And that was not all!Anom kept looking at the retreating team. The screen followed them constantly. Suddenly, the team
