บท 242: 239: The Fog (2)

As told before, the Fog fed on the emotions of the beings trapped within it.

All life forms in the Fog would become its sustenance.

Their emotional state, particularly negative emotions like fear, anger, and despair, nourished the Fog and could trigger strange and dangerous events.

An increase in these odd occurrences within the Fog also correlated with a spike in the mortality rate. 

Basically, the number of beings trapped inside it determined its true danger level.

'If I am the only one in the fog, it won't grow. But if there are others, it will grow rapidly, and I will be stuck in a sticky situation.'

Val couldn't help but notice that the situation was unusually unfavorable for a lone wolf like him. 

Kicking aside the emerging negative thoughts, he recalled the last important thing he knew about it.
