I didn't waste any time—I immediately started walking in the direction marked on the map.
Surprisingly, along the way, I encountered many other Race heading toward the Kingdom. They were probably on quests too. Some groups I passed seemed to have just completed theirs. The path wasn't entirely empty like I expected—it was alive with activity, adventurers coming and going, the environment buzzing faintly with tension and purpose.
But after a few hours of walking,everything grew quiet. Almost eerily so. There was barely anyone left in sight. Unless they were inside the Sea Monster buff zone, I didn't see a soul. Not that it mattered—the creatures lurking here didn't dare approach me.
One of the strangest things I saw was an enormous wall of seaweed. It looked unnatural—thick, dark green strands that twitched as if alive, devouring anything that touched them. I gulped, uneasy. But the map was clear: the only way forward was through them.
