"Phew! We finally made it through that dangerous strait."
In a bustling harbor filled with people, Leon and Elina disembarked from a large ship that had just docked.
The vessel was the only means of crossing to the opposite land, separated by the vast Horizon Strait.
Due to the powerful ocean currents and the many monsters inhabiting the strait, the only way to cross was by a special ship that sailed just once a month.
Fortunately, when Leon and Elina arrived, the ship had been preparing to take passengers across.
The journey to the other side had taken nearly a month—a long, exhausting, and monotonous trip.
"Ugh!" Elina suddenly clutched her stomach, her face pale.
Startled, Leon quickly supported her trembling body. "Are you alright?"
Elina shook her head, cold sweat dripping from her forehead and neck.
