Chapter 124: 124: Hunter 1 [Bonus chapter]

The encounter with the Shaxil had reminded Val that safety was an illusion in this world, and self-improvement was the only reliable defense. Consequently, he resolved to venture into the forest first thing in the morning for a hunt. Alfred had informed him that training events were held once a week, so he wouldn't be missing anything crucial while he pursued his self-imposed training regimen.

Due to the deadly phenomena that occurred in the forest at night, he waited until early morning when Eliana had left for her job before setting off towards the Verdant Deepwood Forest.
