Skirmish by the River

He had no idea what this world-creating plant actually looked like, how big it was, or whether it had only this single fruit or multiple ones like it.

Still, knowing that this world was a plant's fruit made Kim Haru feel somewhat relieved.

He also had a rough guess about that impenetrable white fog—he wasn't completely clueless about how to get out anymore.

However, according to the villagers, one could only safely enter the white fog once, so he had to make thorough preparations before he tried it.

Kim Haru began thinking about how to achieve his goal.

Just as he finished marking the critical areas in the grassland he had cleared, he heard a commotion outside.

"The village across the river is attacking!" someone shouted.

In the pitch-black night, flickering flames rapidly approached from a distance, leaping in the dark sky.

Occasionally, their reflections shimmered on the river's surface, creating an oddly mesmerizing sight.
