“Uhhh!!! But I want experience to fight monsters!!! I can get power but from where will I get experience!!?”
He shouted and immediately fell asleep. And as he was sleeping he murmured, “Maybe... I should go to the next forest~”
Shiro didn’t have anything to worry about jow since everything in the current forest was solved. He had gained many benefits from entering this forest and apart from those, the souls also gained peace.
All together everything was fine but for some reason Shiro was feeling unrest. He wanted to gain experience by fighting the monsters but he missed the opportunity. Other than that he couldn’t think of anything else.
But the thing that he uttered just before sleeping was something that caught a certain someone’s eyes.
The man from earlier who was watching with his crystal ball, he was getting goosebumps since Shiro wanted to enter another forest which was next to this forest and that was the DEADLY DOOMES FOREST!
However there was some gap between both the forest and that was why they were given separate names.
In the gap lied an ancient civilisation which was long lost. No survivor was left because of the extremity of the civilisation. However no one could have ever wondered that there were some beasts residing within the place.
Many thought if it as tourist place but never visited it since it was between THE DARK FIRE FOREST and THE DEADLY DOOMES FOREST.
Whosoever even dared to enter the place, never came out alive. That was why even that place was highly feared by all and the reason was not that clearly known to anyone.
Even if they tried to investigate, it would always lead to failure. But now since Shiro was planning to go to the next forest, he had to pass through the civilisation and only then could he enter the DEADLY DOOMES FOREST.
He had forgotten about his family since they too forgot about him. They had left him and sent him into an old rotten school where he was bullied daily. Even if the King and The Queen loves him, they couldn’t do anything since they couldn’t deny the fact that he was a trash!
Even other nobles thought that it was wiser to let him rot away some where far away. That way the money won’t be wasted on him. Even if the king was at the highest power, he was literally powerless in this case.
No one helped him even out of pity! All they did was just laugh at him and bully him. Only his siblings ever cared for him. But since they had gone to the academy, he never received even a single letter from them.
Either they had forgotten about him and were acting till now or someone was tampering with the letters and removing the letters that were supposed to reach him.
But now he forgot about all those unnecessary worries. He just relaxed in his sleep and waited for the next sunrise.
Soon it was morning again and the sunlight was directly falling on Shiro’s face as if it was trying to wake him up.
“Uhhh... it’s morning already?”
He wakes up after yawning and then stands up immediately. He stretches his body a bit and then looks around for a while since he was hungry.
“Is there absolutely nothing to eat?”
The trees didn’t have berries or fruits, there was no sign of fishes in the river, nor were there any huntable beasts. It was too empty.
“Sigh, then maybe I should get going. I don’t think so there is any use if I wait here.”
He immediately dashed towards the border of the forest and within 10 minutes exited the forest. He became the first dragon to have ever exited the DARK FIRE FOREST! But it was still unknown.
He walked straight towards the next forest which was visible due to his divine eyes which had been evolved. He slowly walks towards the forest when he sees some broken building. It was the ruins of an old civilisation.
He took a look at the buildings that were half broken. Some of them had already turned into dust while some of them were standing tall.
“It looks like thesis place was the home of some native ancients.”
There were many things that were fascinating but the most wonderful among them were the great statues that was carved extraordinarily.
“Woah, this is amazing! I can’t believe that there are so many statues of the great dragons placed here... was this a shrine?”
He looked at the large standing building and the states arranged there.
He immediately moved forward to take a better look when suddenly it started to turn dark.
“Huh? Didn’t the sun rise just now? How can it be dark already?”
He looked towards the sky only to find that the sun was shinning brighter than usual.
“Huh? This is weird!! If the sun is still visible then why is it...”
He realized that the sun light wasn’t able to enter the place and the moment he looked up he found that he was standing just below a huge tree.
“What the heck!!!?”, he was completely surprised since the tree’s roots were not touching the ground. In fact they were penetrating the smaller trees that were just below and surrounding it.
It basically seemed as if the tree was flying.
“For such a large tree to be supported by these small trees? Doesn’t make sense...”
The moment he looked at the surrounding he found some weird movements. He was also hearing some weird sounds that have been generating as if some group was approaching.
“Dragon... infant dragon! Tasty...”
“Huh!!? What is that thing!?”
There were some dark shadows with huge circular red crystal eyes that seemed as if it could see through anything.
They didn’t seem like the ones who had any conscience. All they wanted was to feed on Shiro.
Suddenly all of the start to rush towards Shiro.
‘Kiiiii kiiiiii’
“Tsk!!”, he summond a dagger from his storage space and immediately started chopping each one of them one by one but it seemed as if it didn’t have any effect.
“Damn! Don’t tell me, they are the SHADOW MERAS!”
