Greyvale Forest stretched quietly beyond the northern outskirts of Greyvale City, a vast emerald canopy swaying gently in the midday breeze.
Though often regarded as one of the region's lesser forests, it still covered several kilometers, with its outer ring alive with wildlife and herbs that supported countless alchemists, hunters, and novice warriors.
Despite being just seven kilometers from the city walls, the forest was not seen as a threat, at least not to those wielding swords or possessing even a hint of mana.
Most creatures inhabiting these woods were relatively tame compared to the magical beasts in the Evergreen Mountain Range. The strongest beasts here rarely exceeded 2nd Order Common Beasts, which only added to the forest's appeal.
For the residents of Greyvale City, this place served as a natural training ground. To 1-Star and 2-Star Warriors, it was their classroom; even bored nobles ventured here to test their strength, earn some coin, or gather herbs.
