After waking up to the blinding sunlight streaming down from the treetops, Raymond sat up and stretched lazily. After some deliberation, he decided to skimp on breakfast and went on his way to keep exploring the forest. As he walked, he watched the surrounding greenery slowly change, and the trees became denser and more closely packed. After a while, he found a small glade and decided to set up camp there for now.
With his camp decided, Raymond left some of his things behind and started exploring after he felt like they were hidden fairly well. With nothing to carry around, Raymond could use his Green Roc's Stride to its full ability and he darted around the forest at high speeds. Every now and then, he would stumble upon demonic beasts, but since they were weaker than rank 2, he didn't go out of his way to hunt them.
