Isaac walked for half an hour, and the Beast Forest was nowhere to be seen. He only saw the dirt road he was walking on and the grassland surrounding the road.

He still had the dark red nametag— he thought that he needed at least 5 hours before it was at least orange.

That gives him enough time to find new hunting places. Everyone is focused on the Beast Forest because it is very near, and not even 1% of the forest has been explored, which makes it an excellent hunting spot.

But, what is there is better one? Many have thought about that, but the maps show that the next forest is at least 10 hours away, it is not worth it to go there.

Isaac didn’t plan to go there either— it is too far away.

But, while he was walking, he thought about another exploit!

Everyone has a mindset that you need to travel everywhere by foot or by carriage.

But that’s where the rented rooms come in handy! If Isaac logouts, and logs back in, he will find himself in his rented room!

But, he can’t use that when his nametag is red— otherwise, the Guards will come and arrest him.

10 hours is still a significant loss, but Isaac is willing to spend that much time. He has 4 hours before his time limit is over.

He made a decision. It could be extremely dangerous and not worth it, but he planned to start running there without his armor!

The Chain Armor disappeared and entered his Inventory.

Isaac stretched his legs and started running.

The surroundings were quiet and calm. The wind blew and made his beautiful white hair flutter alongside the wind.

He ran for another 2 hours until he became too exhausted to continue.

He caught his breathing and felt like arriving at the forest before the time limit was very slim. He is sure that he won’t have time grinding XP there. He started feeling like the Bronze Helmet is too restrictive if he had Legendary… He could have more than enough time.

He could arrive at the forest in 3 hours with nonstop running, but only 2 hours remained within the time limit.

”I will never make it in time…” Isaac muttered with an exhausted expression. He looked around himself and turned his head towards the grassland.

”Hmm…” Isaac looked where the road was leading to, and for some reason, it was taking a longer route than needed.

He could run through the grassland and save a lot of time!

Isaac caught his breath and started running like he was possessed.

It felt much comfortable running in the grass than in the hard dirt ground.

That made his pace slightly faster.

After an hour of nonstop running, he saw a majestic forest not far from him!

”I-I have arrived!” Isaac looked thrilled and ran even faster.

After another ten minutes, he entered the edge of the forest.

Isaac slumped down on the ground— his chest was moving up and down while he was trying to get rid of his exhaustion.

Out of nowhere, messages popped up in front of him!

*Ding *Ding*

[You Have Discovered Forest of Unknown!]

[Rewards: 500 XP – Title Adventurer]

[Adventurer: Every new place discovered will give the player 300% more XP]

[Welcome to Forest of Unknown]

[Level Limit: 10 – 100]

Isaac stood up and patted the dirt from his pants. He put on his Chain Armor and grabbed Flintlock pistol from his Inventory.

Only 50 minutes remain before the time limit.

He also took another item from Inventory.

[XP Boost Potion – Uncommon]

Isaac opened the cap of the bottle and started drinking it.

The blue liquid left the glass bottle and traveled through Isaac’s throat.

*Ding* *Ding*

[XP Boost Potion used!]

[50% XP Increase for next hour!]

[59:59…]

[59:58…]

Isaac took a deep breath and entered the forest!

He isn’t planning to risk his life— he won’t fight against enemies he isn’t confident in defeating.

The Forest of Unknown was way darker than other forests he had been in. The leaves and branches of the trees are blocking the sunlight, making the atmosphere of the forest very creepy and scary.

But Isaac isn’t afraid.

He only fears one thing in his life, and the dark forest, isn’t it.

A few minutes later, he exited the small portion of the forest and appeared in front of a small cave with distinct noises coming inside the cave.

Isaac heard footsteps appearing from the cave, and soon… He widened his eyes in shock after finding out whose footsteps those were.

It was a green-skinned individual with a very short body, almost looking like a child. He wasn’t wearing armor or weapon— he was completely defenseless.

[Goblin – Level: 11]

[HP: 111/111]

”Krah?” The Goblin stopped walking and widened his eyes in shock. He saw a beautiful white-haired figure looking at him with the same shocked face.

”Krah? KRAH!” The Goblin ran towards Isaac with his fists swinging.

Isaac pointed his Flintlock towards Gobling and squeezed the trigger.

*Bang*

The bullet pierced the Goblin’s forehead, killing him instantly.

The Goblin became pixels and dropped nothing. He didn’t expect a human to appear, which made him completely defenseless.

[You Killed Goblin!]

[180 XP Earned!]

The loud sound of gun firing echoed in the forest.

Isaac heard screaming noises inside the cave.

He quickly grabbed his second Flintlock pistol and aimed it towards the cave.

Soon, two Goblins came with their wooden maces. They were slightly taller than the previous goblin.

[Goblin – Level: 12]

[HP: 120/120]

[Goblin – Level: 13]

[HP: 126/126]

The Goblins screamed and started running towards Isaac with their short limbs, but they were very slow.

Isaac pressed both of the triggers, and two bullets left the barrels.

The first bullet pierced through the level 12 Goblin’s forehead.

The second bullet pierced through the level 13 Goblin’s forehead, but he didn’t die!

Isaac used his worse Flintlock pistol, which only caused 70 HP damage!

The first Goblin turned into pixels, but the second Goblin appeared in front of Isaac and swung his mace!

Isaac used his agility stat and jumped backward, barely dodging the mace.

But then, a bunch of messages appeared in front of him.

[You Killed Goblin!]

[225 XP Earned!]

Isaac first thought that the Goblin who attacked him died suddenly, but those messages came from the first goblin who died.

The second Goblin started chasing after Isaac with bloodlust visible in his eyes.
