As the disorienting interplay of light and shadow stabilized, Ryan found himself securely perched atop a raft gently bobbing in the Traveler's Realm.
Glancing upwards, he observed the mast next to him, adorned with six trophies that radiated a soft, bronze luminescence, symbolizing the valor of those who had vanquished formidable prey.
"Without realizing it, I've bested six unique creatures," Ryan mused with a hint of pride. "Just four more remain before I can unlock the powers of the [Azure Medal]."
With a contented smile, Ryan approached the campfire at the center of the raft and selected the option to teleport to [Campfire Point-Giant Tree Gap].
Upon reopening his eyes, he was greeted by an expanse of towering, verdant trees. The earthy scent of freshly moistened soil filled the air, indicating a recent rainfall in this ancient forest region.
