Chapter 63 - No Other Choice (1/2)

Twenty minutes later...

Jeremy stopped his footsteps after finally seeing something 'conspicuous'.

Currently, he stood approximately 100 meters away from a moderately large structure that appeared to be...

”A house? Are you kidding me now?”

After Jeremy walked for a mile, he had to stop to look at the astonishing sight in front of him in stupefaction.

The reason?

It was because Jeremy suddenly spotted a medium-sized brick house...

A medium-size that meant a particular house capable of letting a family of four people live comfortably in.

For the appearance, it was a one-story brick house, the roof made of brown woods covered with light-grey thatches, together with a brick chimney exuding dark smoke continually.

It looked classic at first glances, like an ordinary brick house that anyone could see in the countryside back on Earth.

Because of the house's sudden appearance, there came a big problem...

In the middle of nowhere in this uncharted, dangerous winter forest filled with hundreds of wolves...

How was it possible to have a house here?

'This doesn't make sense... No... It has no fucking sense in the first place.'

Even though Jeremy had a slight hunch earlier that the door, aka the exit, should be within a 'house' or a 'chamber', when he actually saw it firsthand that there was admittedly a moderate-sized brick house situated within this boondocks of a winter forest.

Jeremy couldn't make up his mind to accept it...

Even his earlier hunch that was so accurate seemed like a lie now...

'My hunch is correct as always... but it still doesn't make sense. Why a house? Furthermore, a house that contained mana turbulence within...'

Right now, Jeremy's face twitched slightly, as he didn't expect any of these coming towards him at all.

Thus, he fell into deep thought...

Very, very deep thought at that...

'It is strange indeed. Starting from the moment I've set foot into this place, nothing makes sense...'

'First of all, there are only wolves as predators roaming everywhere here. This must be a test for a contestant's survival skills, no doubt. Also, why those larger wolves don't look like alpha wolves at all? They are more like beta ones...'

'Secondly, those large wolves from the three packs earlier... Why did they join hands together and lead the submissive, omega wolves to hunt me down? Usually, each pack will operate independently...'

'Then, this brick house, which comes out of nowhere with a trail of black smoke emanating from the chimney, someone must be inside... still... my unignorable hunch tells me there is no one inside... My hunch never lies, but the chimney with black smoke also seems to tell the truth...'

After thinking up till here, Jeremy's fleeting thoughts suddenly came to mind,

'What does the creator truly want to test us, Earthlings?'

Having thought of that, Jeremy promptly blinked his unfocused eyes dazedly three times...

'Hmm...?'
