Winter in the Forbidden Forest is incredibly short—just about a month and a half. That’s half the length of winter back on Earth, where it stretches close to three months. Because of this, some unique natural phenomena occur here... For one, the trees in this forest don’t shed their leaves in the winter. Normally, trees drop their leaves to conserve energy. With less sunlight in the winter, the energy gained from photosynthesis isn’t enough to sustain the leaves. So, it’s common for trees…- 1.5 M • Ongoing
- Since the day Yoo Chaerin first visited the cave, many others had followed. And among those visitors were some truly bad people. One such person had even tried to force themselves on Yor. Yor had barely managed to kill that wicked player and claimed their items as spoils. Now, showing those items to Chaerin, he recounted the incident with an irritated expression. '...What the hell.' Chaerin cursed inwardly as she listened to Yor’s story. The cause of all this was obvious, even to her. 'This is…

- Attention is like a drug. No matter how big or small, people live off the attention of others. We’ve lived in cooperative societies since the primitive ages, and isolation has always been synonymous with death. That's why hikikomori, shut-ins, wither away from lack of attention, and why we don’t need to worry about celebrities—they’re constantly in the spotlight. Just look at how many people in my modern world flock to platforms like Instax or Yubetube. Humans, at their core, crave attention…

- “What the hell are you?!” ...Yoo Chae-rin thought to herself. How did things end up like this? To understand, we need to go back a few minutes. At that time, she was extremely cautious. The high-level zone lived up to its reputation; even in the mid-range areas, the monsters' levels were far higher than she’d expected. Most of them were tough enough to be overwhelming even one-on-one, so she had no choice but to keep her stealth skill active at all times. While exploring the Forbidden Forest,…

- I had never used Player’s Eye before. That’s because I had never encountered an otherworlder. Actually, I hadn’t even seen another person in quite a while. So, up until now, I could only imagine what Player’s Eye might be like. What kind of ability did it have? What would happen when I used it? What did it mean to see through a player’s eyes? And most of all, who or what was a "player"? The only clue I had was the name of the skill, so I could only speculate. Luckily, I had an abundance of…

- The forest at night is incredibly dark. Of course, that’s no surprise. In a place without the conveniences of civilization, there’s hardly any light to rely on. At best, there’s the moonlight, fireflies, and the glowing eyes of monsters and wild beasts. Obviously, if you see a monster’s glowing eyes, you need to run, so scratch that. Fireflies mostly appear in the summer, so they’re out too. The only light left to rely on is the moonlight, but tonight just happened to be the night of the new…

- Did Chaerin survive her night in Yor’s cave and return safely? Unfortunately, no. As soon as she woke up, she immediately started her stream again and continued exploring the Forbidden Forest. It didn't take long before she ventured into the deeper part of the forest and met her demise within minutes. The monsters living in the deeper areas were sharp enough to detect even the smallest attempts at stealth. After all, just because someone’s body is hidden doesn’t mean they don’t leave…

- The Sak had passed, and the crescent moon had returned. Which meant, for the next month, I was safe. Thank goodness there’s only one day each month where the moon doesn’t appear. If there had been two or three days like that, I probably would have taken my own life by now. The day after enduring the berserk episode, I spent the entire day asleep. If it had been Berserk B, I might have managed, but Type A drained my energy too much. Pulling an all-nighter to deal with it had become such a routine…

- There’s a term known as “map exploration.” It refers to the act of traveling through the game world, searching for scenic spots or hidden elements. Among the players, there were some known as map explorers, who didn’t enjoy the game as it was intended but instead spent their time purely exploring the map. Demon's Saga was no exception. In fact, since it was a virtual reality game, there were even more players who did this. The game’s stunning graphics and vast world made exploring in itself an…
