Beyond the wall, the landscape shifted entirely. Gone was the mechanical wasteland—replacing it was a vast swamp, thick with mist and a strange, damp warmth.
The air smelled of earth, stagnant water, and something faintly metallic. The murky ground sucked at Liam's boots as he stepped forward.
He pulled out the list Elder Erin had given him.
"Looks like this is where I start gathering supplies."
Asger peeked over his shoulder.
"You actually plan on doing errands now?"
"Well, I might as well make this trip worthwhile."
Liam said.
He activated his system's tracking function, allowing it to highlight the locations of the required ingredients.
A faint glow appeared on his interface, marking the positions of rare herbs, minerals, and fungi scattered throughout the swamp.
Liam smirked.
"Gotta love having a system. Makes everything easier."
Asger scoffed.
