Mark looked around the dark forest, suddenly feeling as if they were being watched.
The silence of the forest was oppressive, as if everything was holding its breath.
'What the hell is in this forest?'
Mark stood in the middle of the corpses, scanning the dark woods with a mix of caution and uncertainty.
The silence was oppressive, broken only by the occasional whisper of wind through the leaves.
Mark turned to Yuki, who was still examining one of the bodies with her usual neutral expression.
"Yuki," Mark said firmly. "Check that there's nothing dangerous nearby. People, monsters, anything. Sweep the entire area thoroughly."
"Understood, Master." Yuki nodded without hesitation.
And in an instant, she disappeared into the shadows of the forest, becoming completely invisible.
Mark was left alone among the corpses, with only the sound of his own breathing as company.
'Alright. Now… what should I do?'
Mark looked at the bodies around him, carefully considering his options.
