I stood in front of a giant wall

The white color of the wall gave off a faint glow in the morning sunlight

This is the wall of the Rubana Forest. It is a wall that used a special type of stone to build

The wall separated the empire from the Rubana Forest

It's like the Great Wall of China

This fence contains observation towers to monitor any suspicious movements within the forest

If there was a powerful monster approaching the border, it would be immediately detected and soldiers would be sent to defeat that monster

There were incidents where monsters rushed towards the borders of the empire

This is called the tide of monsters

But the fence proved effective in confronting these monsters

This silenced all the voices that were complaining about the huge cost it took to build the wall

I approached one of the huge gates. This gate is one of the entrances used to enter and exit the forest

These gates were necessary because there were adventurers coming in and out daily

You don't expect them to jump the wall, right?

"Young Master..." The soldier responsible for protecting the gate stood in front of me, and behind him the soldiers lined up

As the young master of the Ford family, I am only relatively famous within Cairn City

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

So it was natural for the soldiers and government officials to know my appearance. After all, I am their president's son

I smiled and nodded. Most of the soldiers relaxed when they noticed my friendly demeanor

I didn't want to disturb them, they are soldiers serving the Ford family

I told the captain why I came here. "I want to enter the forest."

" this...". The captain's look was filled with doubt. "The forest is a little dangerous, in addition to the presence of bandits..."

I nodded when I heard the captain's warning. "I will train in the outer area. I am not being naive to go to the deep areas with my low strength level.."

The captain relaxed, but did not lower his guard. "Please send a distress signal if any problem occurs."

The captain handed me a small device. This device is given to anyone who wants to enter the forest. It is used to send a distress signal in the event of encountering a strong monster or dangerous bandits.

Of course, you have to return this device when you return from the forest, and if you lose it, you will have to pay a huge fine

I entered the forest, and saw trees of different types and sizes in front of me

I couldn't stop myself from smiling at this sight in front of me

It brought back unforgettable memories for me

I rushed forward quickly and didn't look back

There are two threats inside the Rubana Forest that you must beware of

First: monsters

Second: bandits

It is impossible to tell who is a criminal and who is an ordinary adventurer, this is a huge advantage for these scoundrels

They enter the forest, then wear a mask and begin attacking other adventurers to steal their possessions

In most cases, all these innocent adventurers will be killed

The problem is that the soldiers do not know what bandits look like

And they cannot know that the things these criminals carry are stolen things

At the same time, they cannot prevent people from entering the forest, because preventing them will cut off the livelihoods of millions of families.

These adventurers provide a great service to the empire, because they clean the borders of monsters

Why should we send trained soldiers to the borders when we have millions of adventurers fighting these monsters..... This is what one of the Empire's ministers said, and he acknowledged the role of adventurers in protecting the borders along with the Ford family.

Therefore, you should be careful when you meet another adventurer in the forest

I threw my bag on the ground and took out a black robe and a white fox mask with red stripes on its sides

This is the disguise I will be using in this mission

I will not hunt monsters, because the money I will get from this work will not meet my needs

I need a way to get more money

Who do you think are the best prey inside this forest?

Monsters?

of course no

The best prey are humans

Because people carry money and treasures

I will not attack innocent people, I will rob the bandits, and I will also target the noble children who are training in this forest.

I put on all my clothes and fixed the mask on my face

You may wonder why I would target noble children, even though they are not as evil as bandits

Well...the reason is because they have the most money

In addition, they can obtain money from their families if they are robbed

So I will not hesitate for a moment to steal....cough..borrow money from these children

It's not that I'm going to hurt them, I'm going to give them a lesson in this life, an important lesson that will make them realize how cruel this life is.

Best of all, this lesson is free

Damn, I'm so kind sometimes

I went deeper into the forest, and crossed the outer area, because the bandits would not dare to carry out their actions in the outer area that was monitored by soldiers all the time.

"Oh...look who we have here.." I heard a harsh voice coming from my right

Three masked men came out from behind a tree, all of them muscular and carrying weapons

I smiled and narrowed my eyes

Looks like I've found my first prey
