The echoes of betrayal still rang in Yoon Wool's ears as she stumbled through the dense underbrush of the unfamiliar forest. Her heart felt like it had been torn out of her chest and stomped by a hundred bulls.

Crazy comparison I know, but that's how she really felt, the wounds of betrayal raw and searing. How could she have been so blind?

Her boyfriend and supposed best friend the ones whom she trusted with all her heart, had been betraying her for over three years if the small sign she had remembered were correct.

Being sent to this mysterious gloomy forest giving her way too much time to search through her memories.C onfusion clouded her thoughts as she struggled to make sense of her surroundings.

Where was she? And why had she been cast aside like a discarded toy not once but twice ? Mind you.Was she actually the problem ? She wondered standing in the midst of a sinister landscape.

The forest being shrouded in a thick miasma that tried to cling to her skin like a suffocating embrace. Dark energy crackled in the air, sending shivers down her spine.

Before she could dwell on these questions for any longer, a thunderous roar shattered the stillness of the forest, causing the ground to tremble beneath her feet.

With a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach, Yoon Wool turned to face the source of the disturbance. A massive purple bear who towered over most of the normal looking trees in this damned forest.

Its fur shimmering in the dappled sunlight, it's eyes ablaze with primal fury as it stood on it's two hind legs to look down at her.

Frozen in terror, Yoon Wool braced herself for the inevitable onslaught. But just as the beast lunged forward, a bright blue game like screen appeared in front of her eyes.

[The user has been found to be in danger ! Does the user wish to activate emergency auto mode ? YES NO]

" What is that ? " The woman narrowly escaped from the huge paw which hit the floor at the spot she had just stood at, making the ground tremble.

[Does the user wish to activate emergency auto mode ? YES NO]

Yoon Wool finally decided to bet everything on this mysterious blue screen which seemed just as stressed about the present situation as she was.

" Yes ! "

[Does the user wish to activate emergency auto mode ? YES✓ NO]

The woman immediately felt a difference in the air as a surge of unfamiliar energy coursed through her veins, igniting a spark of confidence within her.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

A burst of knowledge spread into her mind, she instinctively reached out to the mysterious power pulsating within her, tapping into its depths.

In an instant, the world around her seemed to shift and warp. With a whispered command, she willed the giant bear to shrink, its once imposing form diminishing before her eyes.

The feeling of an unknown energy leaving her body, being the only indication that she had just used some kind of power. As the creature shrunk to a fraction of its former size, Yoon Wool felt a surge of exhilaration wash over her.

With trembling hands, she reached out to scoop up the miniature bear, its tiny frame trembling with newfound vulnerability and confusion.

It was then that she heard the voice of the system once again. Because this whole situation was new, if worded simply, she almost forgot to question what this system was.

It seemed to be a mysterious entity that had lain dormant within her, waiting to be awakened. Which it did as soon as she was in danger, could this be her grandfather's influence ?

With a sense of newfound curiosity mingled with trepidation, Yoon Wool listened to the system's voice. Hoping to get answers to the myriad of questions going through her head right now.

[The user has been rewarded 100 credit.]

[Does the user wish to use 100 credit to unlock terrarium number 1 ?]

The blue screen changed into a menu with over a hundred silhouettes of "terrariums" to choose from with different prices underneath. The only one unlockable for the moment being the first one.

The items in this store however could only be bought with credits rewarded by the system. Something caught her eye in the bottom of the screen.

[The user is able to store living beings and objects in the selected terrariums.]

Without hesitation, she nodded in agreement, the bear's pleading gaze tugging at her heartstrings.

[ User will now earn 10% more XP when using size manipulation on living beings !]

Yoon Wool giggled at all the notifications reading through and not really understanding half of them but deciding it did not matter for now. She had all the time in the world to figure things out now that she was apparently stuck in this world.

Finally deciding to advance and check her surroundings to find any living being that wouldn't lunge at her on sight, she ventured deeper into the heart of the forest.

After walking for about 45 minutes, her feet starting to beg for a break the system spoke to her once again.

[The user has entered the thunder bears territory. The user is warned to proceed with caution.]

[New quest triggered ! Tame 100 thunder bears within the time limit to aquire new title and bonus rewards ! Time limit 00:60:00]

[Does the user wish to accept quest ? YES NO]

Yoon Wool looked out into the distance not seeing an enemy in sight yet but not doubting the system's words.

Especially now that she saw what it was capable of. It seems like she would only gain from accepting this quest so she decided not to dwell too long on the question.

[Does the user wish to accept quest ? YES✓ NO]
