Chapter 66 – The two brothers
Ethan stood at the entrance of the Forest of Death.
It had been hours since he'd parted ways with Syed. And after making all his preparations, he was finally here—ready to step into the unknown.
But now, standing before the infamous forest, a chill crept up his spine. He couldn't help but feel… uneasy.
'It's fine. It's fine. The worst thing that can happen is me dying.'
'But I won't. Not with my system. At worst… I make a wish and pay the price.'
He repeated those thoughts over and over, steadying his nerves.
Still—why did this place feel wrong?
"This is weird, System. I don't usually get like this. What's going on?"
[You will need Karmic Points for that answer.]
Ethan's lips twitched.
"I gained some from my last three customers. Isn't that enough?"
[No.]
He sighed.
"Thanks, System. You just made it worse." He cursed under his breath.
But there was no point in stressing. It wouldn't help. The only way forward… was through.
