Nightmare

Lara's frustrations have not stopped even after her fifth death. Even though she saw improvement in her ability in this short time, she knew it would never be enough if she kept on going like this.

Her goal was that island, and it appeared there was something restricting her from other participants to approach one another. This was most likely a test to prosper on her own. The last time she was on her own, all that followed was a disaster, that may follow this time also, but at least she won't be a slave. Not again.

She stood upright from her mediation, looking at the setting sun. The effect of the weirdly mushroom was almost gone, and it was time again. Her mana application finally reached Level 9, and she finally found the wall that was stopping her from getting to the intermediate realm. Intermediate realm will be a great help to her in the current circumstances. She will be able to protect and attack at the same time more freely.
