A rookie adventurer was walking down a country path in the morning.

On their back was a bag filled with travel gear. At their waist was a sword that looked brand new. In their hand was a map they had just received from the Adventurer's Guild.

Today, the long-awaited adventure begins.

The destination is near the border between the Human Territory and the Demon King Territory...

The "Forest of Beginnings"

A forest for beginners, rich in medicinal herbs and edible plants, inhabited by relatively weak monsters. It is a classic adventure spot where many adventurers have taken their first steps since ancient times.

Checking the map repeatedly, the protagonist walks down the highway with a light step.

My first monster hunt. My first herb gathering. My first adventure.

Someday, I'll become a full-fledged adventurer, the kind everyone knows...

While imagining such a future, a massive forest comes into view at the end of the road.

Morning sunlight filtering through the trees. Green leaves swaying in the wind. *A sign at the entrance that reads "Forest of Beginnings."

I've finally arrived.

From today, this will be the start of my adventure.
