Mycosera Glacialis was in Xion's bag, and he had even saved a huge amount in the system space, but at what cost?
His shoes got wet when he was trying to gather the plants from the hidden lake. He himself wasn't spared from the chilly water either.
Just as he was done with the task, settling everything, the system disappeared suddenly.
With no other choice, he decided to first save his feet. Just as he was about to change his socks, he was unexpectedly attacked by the monster guarding that lake.
It was nothing more than bad luck. Cruel, unforgiving luck.
For a moment, everything was just white noise, drilling into his ear but not registering in his mind.
And then, a familiar ding echoed in his mind, clear and almost cheerful.
[Why don't you shout His Grace's name?]
Xion's eyes snapped open, his heart lurching in his chest.
