Return

From MC's Perspective:

After killing the monster, I sat on a boulder nearby to ponder. Whether I should do something about the Fire Mana Vein or leave this place to look for other resources.

Outside,

Head Howard Mason furrowed his eyebrows after feeling the connection to Vincent Carey's bracelet was back. He doesn't know how to explain this phenomenon.

If it happened one time, he can tell that it's just random. But it happened twice, and the connection returned to normal shortly after that.

So he decided to ask once this mission was over.

A few minutes later,

I thought of checking out the snake lair once again. Just as I stood up to leave.

[Ding! The host is exposed]

A mechanical voice sounded in my mind.

"You there, what are you doing here?"

Before I could think further. A known voice sounded from behind. The system warned me about the Fire Mages.
