Chapter 7 Monsters and Barrier Stone (1/2)

—Walk 373 kilometers of forest.

Just imagining how harsh that would be was making me nauseous.

Not only do I lack food, I don’t even have water.

Of course, I can get some with points, but…

Surviving in order to reunite with Nanami -I will survive for the sake of that.

No, even without that objective, I can’t just give up on surviving. The reason I am currently alive here even though I was killed not that long ago must mean that God is telling me to live on.

I must not think about anything other than coming out of this alive.

I smacked both of my cheeks.

“Guess I gotta walk!” (Hikaru)

Thanks to the map, I at least know the direction.

No matter how high the danger level, it is not like I will definitely encounter monsters.

Maybe there’s only monsters that I can escape from by running away.

It is still too soon to despair.

I confirm the status window once more before going down the tree.

My viewer count is 1,876,540 and it is increasing by the second.

Looks like I am gathering attention as the early laugh segment.

It is a forest where the tall trees feel to be around 10 meters tall.

There’s not much grass growing, and this may be the fortunate thing within the misfortune, but it isn’t difficult to walk in.

The boots I used 1 point to exchange to fit me just right as if they had been order-made.

It doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of monsters. I have been walking for around 30 minutes and I haven’t seen any such creature until now.

…Not only that, I don’t even see animals.

It is eerie.

“Whatever the case, I can’t lower my guard…” (Hikaru)

According to the Highly Efficient World Map, it is a Danger Level 4.

Leaving aside the mysterious presence that has been brushing my skin, I feel like this place isn’t normal.

Or maybe even as of now, I am in the sights of a highly intelligent monster with their bow, or I will get eaten straight from the head by a monster that I can’t even see.

Before I began walking, I had used 1 point to exchange for an item that I am now still holding in my hand as I walked on.

With the boots and that item, I am now at 19 points.

I am already right by the side of death.

The wind rustling the trees was fanning my uneasiness, and the fear of monsters attacking from wherever was scraping away at my mental stamina.

I diligently moved my legs as if to erase those insecurities.

I might have walked for around 2 and a half hours.

Looking at just the result, you could say it has been going surprisingly well.

Thinking about the danger level, I was prepared to fall into a precarious situation straight away, but I even feel like I have been deceived here.

Climate that isn’t cold or hot.

It is not in the middle of a mountain but a relatively flat forest.

A distance that I can get out of in 10 days if it all goes smoothly.

Thinking about it calmly, this might not have been that bad of a place to be randomly transferred to.

If this were a snow mountain, I definitely wouldn’t have survived. If it had been a mountain instead of a forest, just going down would carry pretty high risks.

I am on the lucky side.

…But I was mistaken here.

It is not that there wasn’t any reason as to why there were no living creatures around.

Just like how herbivorous animals don’t get close to the territory of lions, the density of monsters decreases in the turf of a giant monster.

I didn’t seriously think about the meaning of the danger level being 4.

The first thing I heard was the sound of creaking trees.

And then, I heard the rustling of trees as if something was flying around and rubbing past the trees.

I stopped my legs and looked around.

This is my first time hearing ‘the sound made by someone else’.

I was hearing the cries of birds every now and then, but this is the first time I feel the presence of a living being so clearly.

“A monster…? Or maybe a monkey or something?” (Hikaru)

The sound of rustling trees continued on endlessly.

And I feel like it is steadily approaching.

“At the very least…at the very least let it be a normal animal…” (Hikaru)

I couldn’t judge at what direction it was coming from.

It was approaching this place slowly while going around in circles with me as the center.

Monsters…
