Yuji, who was prepared to leave this place, relaxed with a sigh of relief. “What were they fighting?”
After a few minutes he slowly walk back to the cave and sat down and closed his eyes to sleep. But no matter how much he tried he couldn’t, that strange feeling he had earlier came back, a feeling of something calling him. Slowly his curiosity grow, maybe it’s because of his race.
In the end he made up his mind. He stood up and start walking toward the depth of the cave. As he delve deeper he face with a problem. He felt his vision slowly becoming restricted to only a few meters. But he didn’t stopped and kept walking.
As he delved deeper, he noticed the fog becoming denser. At one point in his journey, it became so thick he couldn’t see what lay ahead. So, he had to slow down and walk carefully to avoid bumping his head into something.
At that moment, as he took another step, something magical happened: the fog that had completely blocked his view disappeared.
With the fog gone, Yuji was able to see his surroundings clearly. In front of him lay a small water pond, with droplets falling from the cave ceiling. But that's not what caught his eyes; what caught his attention was what lay beyond the small pond.
A crack in the space.
[ Congratulations, you have found an unexplored rift]
[Reward- 20 essence ]
The system notification confirmed Yuji's guess. It’s indeed a rift—a rift where he can probably find monster to hunt. But the question is, can he hunt those monsters?
But still, Yuji become a little happy over the fact he received 20 essences and he need another 20 for a level up.
He slowly and carefully walks up to the rift to see if it suddenly sucks him inside, but nothing of the sort happens. However, that doesn’t make the rift safe, so he kicks a pebble toward it. The pebble passes through without any problem.
Seeing this, he approached the rift cautiously. But a notification appeared before him.

[A Rift is a dimensional crack that serves as a gateway to sealed, unsealed, or independent spaces. Typically, each Rift has one entrance, but rare instances exist where a Rift may have multiple entrances. These openings provide access to alternate realms, each with its own unique characteristics and dangers. Adventurers must tread carefully when traversing Rifts, as the unknown awaits on the other side. ]
Yuji's puzzled expression deepened as he surveyed his surroundings, taking in the tranquil scene before him. Everywhere he looked, there were only trees, bathed in the warm glow of the sun filtering through the leaves. Birds sang their melodious tunes, and a gentle breeze rustled the foliage. It was a scene straight out of a picturesque forest, far removed from the chaos and danger he had anticipated.
"System, Isn’t this place too peaceful?" Yuji thought maybe he would be thrown into a dungeon-like environment. But, this was out of his expectation.
As Yuji scanned his surroundings, seeking any signs of life or movement, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a small creature amidst the foliage. This creature was unlike anything he had ever encountered before. It resembled a dog, but its body was covered in a thick coat of sharp thorns and bristling fur, giving it a fearsome appearance. Despite its diminutive size, the creature exuded an aura of danger, and its eyes seemed to pierce through Yuji's soul as it stared directly in his direction. A sense of unease washed over him as he observed the creature.
[ Warning you have encountered Thornback Gnarler ]
[ Thornback Gnarler: Small, dog-like creatures covered in sharp thorns and bristling fur. They prowl the edges of forests and dense undergrowth, using their keen sense of smell to track down prey. Despite their size, their bite packs a painful punch. ]
[ A very common monster in a level 10 rift or above. However, sometimes they can also be found on a low-level rift ]
"Shit," Yuji cursed inwardly.
Even if it’s a monster that would be considered common at level 10 rift, there’s no way he would be able to fight this thing.
Yuji didn’t waste a single second. He turned around and ran toward the rift. This is the only option left. All he wanted is to enter the rift and kill few weak monster to get some rewords. But who could have thought he would encounter this strong monster as soon as he entered.
[ You can’t leave this rift until it’s cleared ]
Seeing the notification, Yuji felt the sky collapsing on his head. “System, what the fuck are you talking about?.”
[ User was warned not to enter the rift ]

Now he understood why system gave him the mission to survive. He ignored the system, there’s no point in talking with it right now. He took out the last remaining pilpil grass and started munching on it.
