Casual stroll through the forest of death and massive forest fire

"Ok, Tony let us go to the forest of death it is a place I heard about there are lots of monsters there so it should be a good place for you to level up, but first let's go get Neko because you are very slow so she will carry you there," Grimm said.

The two of them went back to Grimm's teacher dorm and got Neko from the room and then went back outside where Tony climbed up on Neko's back and the three of them headed toward the forest of death which should be a weeks journey by carriage but it will only be an hour run for them. As soon as they arrived at the forest an overwhelming stench of death stung their noses.

"It smells." Tony and Neko said "Don't worry about it I am going to get rid of the smell with the ultimate smell purifier the Febrese spell" Grimm said as he cast the spell making the whole forest smell very nice. "There we are now lets head inside."

The three of them walked into the forest passing by several warning signs. Then suddenly a group of wild chimeras appeared and a group of fire breathing salamanders also appeared "Ok Tony you can handle those low level mobs. I will help if I see you need it" "Ok I will try to beat these monsters." For level comparison, Tony is level 1 and the monsters are level 60 to 70.

Tony rushed in at the monsters swinging his sword like an expert with each slash being perfectly executed. Killing each monster with 1 to 3 strikes. After killing the monsters Tony head leveled up to level 46.

The three of them headed deeper into the forest while Tony chopped down more monsters till they got to the center of the forest where there was an opening. In the opening, there was a sword that was embedded in a rock it was very shiny and had a very sharp blade and at that moment a leaf blew over the blade of the sword which cut the leaf in half and there was also a forest dragon curled up around the rock. As of now, Tony was level 245 and the dragon was level 2000.

"That must be a holy sword a sword that is the only weapon that can kill a demon lord after all in most novels and manga there is a holy sword required to beat the demon lord," Tony said

"That sword looks like trash I couldn't even pick my teeth with that. But the thing that is not garbage is the dragon I wonder what is tastes like." Grimm said

"One roast dragon coming up." Grimm threw a fireball at the sleeping dragon which cooked it to the perfect temperature. But the flames also spread to the trees and the rest of the forest.

"Oops I guess I hit the trees on accident, but at least let's eat some roast dragon," Grimm said as he walked over to the cooked corpse of the dragon. Once he got to the corpse he used his hand as a knife and cut the dragon into many pieces.

"Now then it's time to eat. Come on you two hurry up before the meat gets cold." Grimm said, "I think we got more things to worry about than the meat getting cold like how about the forest burning down." Neko said, "It's fine don't worry about that the food is all that matters also Tony you can take that sword in the rock if you want my personal preference is to leave it." Grimm said as he picked up a piece of dragon meat and started eating it.

"Well, then I guess I will take the sword," Tony said as he walked over to it and drew the sword from the rock. Then he examined the sword it had a sharp silver-colored blade and a gold colored hilt with an inscription on it that said the Heaven Slashing Sword may you pierce the heavens.

Then the Neko and Tony sat down and started eating the dragon meat too while the forest burned down around them killing everything that got caught in the flame.

This day marks the end of the forest of death.

(Authors Note)

Act 1 of the story is nearing its end but Act 2 is where the story picks up and mainly starts because Act 1 is mainly an introduction and development of the plot so Act 2 should be longer.
