It's been two years since I departed from the Forest, and if I'm being honest, I can't help but feel a tinge of regret. I often think about the missed opportunities for leveling up that I would have had by now if I had stayed. However, on an emotional level, these past two years have been fulfilling. Interacting with humans has been a positive experience for me. Many survivors refer to me as a hero, thanks to my tendency to wipe out bandits and help those in need. Despite the regrets, the connections I've made and the positive impact I've had on others have made these two years worthwhile.

I even took requests from these groups and settlements of people to wipe out monsters or large amounts of oozers through my displays of strength that was human to them, which I accepted eagerly. I went on to eliminate the hordes for a decent amount of experience, allowing me to reach level 24 and fill my experience bar exactly two-thirds of the way to the next level.

That greatly improved my mood overall, especially considering the progress I made in casting magic without relying on the system. Now, I could cast all of my current skills without assistance. Sadly, only [Frost Strike] and [Frost Breath] were on the same level as their counterparts in the system. However, this didn't render them useless. In fact, they proved to be much more flexible.

With [Permafrost], for instance, I could concentrate the frost energy to create ice shards, which I could then drop from the sky, impaling anything below. This newfound flexibility in my abilities opened up a myriad of strategic possibilities, enhancing both my combat prowess and problem-solving capabilities.

This was seen even more clear in the way I was using [Frost Strike] to travel by forming thin layer of ice at my feet allowing me to remove the friction as I slid forward cover more distance than I did running and overall I found it quite cool as I slid down the road towards where I had heard there has been a lot of disappearance of survivors which is nothing new but the number was in the dozens which was quite weird so I accepted the investigation request from one of the larger group leaders who lived in the cities and was now on my way there.

It was one of the smaller towns in the area, and it wasn't my first time there. I had been asked by a nomadic group to clear it out so they could loot it for food, clothes, and blankets. I readily agreed, as I always found fulfillment in helping people in need and they also pointed me towards where exp was so it was perfect.

It didn't take me long to arrive at the town, but I must admit, it looked worse for wear. Such a sight was to be expected, given the whole apocalypse thing, but it still weighed heavily on me. As I moved through the town, a strange sensation crept over me. It felt like something was watching me, but I couldn't pinpoint its location. At times, the sensation seemed to be right behind me, while at other moments, it felt like it emanated from a nearby building. The eerie feeling persisted, leaving me on edge as I continued my exploration.

'[Permafrost: Lv 3]'

At one point, I snapped when I felt the presence right behind me. Without bothering to turn around, I chose to activate Permafrost through the system. Instantly, the area around me froze over, ensnaring whatever was lurking behind me in its icy grip.

'[Frost strike: Lv 9]'

I quickly followed up by activating Frost Strike on my leg. Spinning around, I delivered a powerful kick towards whatever was behind me. To my surprise, my kick was intercepted by a double-sided blood-red battle axe. As I registered this unexpected sight, a familiar face came into view—a figure clad in a pitch-black suit with a red tie.
