Taking out the backpack full of books, he dumped everything on the bed and made it into the shape of a person sleeping soundly under a blanket so that if his mother came to check on him, he wouldn't be discovered sneaking out in the middle of the night. Then he started picking up the inventions that Uncle Elden had given him every time he visited. Speaking of Uncle Elden, he was a famous craftsman in the kingdom, and the things he crafted were all very sophisticated and beautiful. But today he only brought a few things like a super bright flashlight that he attached to a strap so he could wear it on his forehead; a very beautiful stick, the tip of the stick had an open dragon head attached to it, and the shaft looked like its body, which he also carried as a weapon; a necklace that Uncle Elden had enchanted to protect its owner from external injuries, but Cori never wore it because he was afraid his friends would steal it, and a few clothes. Sneaking down to the ground floor, he didn't forget to steal some canned food from the refrigerator before gently crossing the backyard filled with the smell of weeds towards the mysterious crack.

Because his backyard was quite overgrown with big trees and wild bushes, no one would come here to do anything (including Cori's mother because she was always busy with her sewing and housework), to the left of his house was an abandoned house, next to it was Uncle Eldon's house, and to the right of his house was Mrs. Mable's house: a lonely old lady who often gave him cookies to eat and often didn't go to the backyard. Therefore, he was the only one who knew about the existence of this crack.

Back to the story, at this time Cori was standing in front of the crack that was just big enough for him to crawl through. Looking across the street, he saw that the other side was a dim space because it was already midnight. Passing the wall, he couldn't help but exclaim:

Wow, this wall is really thick! It must be about 4 to 5 meters

Setting down on a tree stump, he gently crawled out of the wall and before his eyes was an old forest rustling in the night wind. He had never seen this scene before, around the area where he lived, only his house had the most trees, but they were all wild trees. Glancing around, he suddenly saw next to the tree stump he was standing on was a fallen and charred tree trunk. It turned out! This tree had been blocking his path for all those years and the thunder from last night's rain had caused it to fall, opening the path to the other side of the wall for him.

The passion for exploring the world suddenly arose strongly in Cori's heart after 2 years (because 2 years ago he had explored Uncle Elden's yard and had his left leg bitten off by his Bull dog). He slid down the burned tree trunk and crossed the damp ground, entering the mysterious forest.

This forest was really complicated and intricate as the ancient tree roots pierced the ground like giant snakes crawling. At this moment, Cori suddenly heard the sound of rushing water in the distance, running closer, he discovered that it was a very winding stream. He looked up to see when suddenly the rotten tree root under his feet suddenly broke, causing him to fall straight down, hitting his head on the rock, but because of the necklace, Cori was still fine. At this moment, his heart was beating wildly, his arms and legs were waving wildly, making him unable to float.

The more he struggled in the icy cold water, the more desperate and helpless he became, suddenly a figure about his age jumped into the water, grabbed his hand and pulled him to the shore just inches away. As soon as he reached the shore, he immediately vomited out a bunch of river water that he had just swallowed. When he calmed down, he turned to thank the person who saved him:

- Thank you...OH MY GOD WHY ARE YOU NOT WEARING ANY CLOTHES!

That's right, the girl who just jumped into the water to save his life was not wearing anything at all. Turning his face away for 0.01 seconds, Cori reached for his clothes in his backpack and handed them to the girl while his head was still turned back in boundless embarrassment:

- You should put some clothes on!

- Um…

After he had put on his white t-shirt and blue shorts (which looked a bit too big for her), he had a chance to take a closer look at this person's face. She had hair as white as the light of a new moon, even though it was night and the super bright flashlight was broken because it had been soaked in water for too long, he could still see that her eyes were green like a sparkling gem in the dark.

- Hey! Why are you looking at me so fiercely?

- Oh, it's nothing, it's just that this is the first time I've seen someone with green eyes.

- What's so strange about that? Many people have green eyes.

Nodding vaguely, Cori suddenly realized that he didn't know her name:

- Oh, what's your name?

- I'm Luna.
