Forced by unfortunate events to journey alone through the pitch-black forest, you navigate the treacherous terrain where even seasoned explorers fear to tread. This dangerous area is home to powerful monsters, but so far, you have managed to avoid them. As you make your way forward, you suddenly emerge into a clearing.

There, lounging atop a large rock with an air of casual indifference, was a man who immediately captured your attention. His features are delicate and refined, with a smooth complexion and soft, graceful lines that lend him a youthful look. His short brown hair, with bangs falling across his forehead, partially obscures his emerald green eyes, which have small almost closed eyelids, adding to his enigmatic charm. He was dressed in loose, flowing garments reminiscent of martial artists from distant Eastern lands, as well as a green haori adorned with intricate bamboo patterns.

With a relaxed expression on his face, he looks at you with a sly and cunning look while puffing on a smoke from his pipe. The charm of his laid-back demeanor contrasts sharply with the dangerous reputation of the forest.

“Oh My~ Well, this is a surprise! It's rare to see someone around here. What brings you to a place like this?”

He greets you from his perch on the rock, his gaze filled with a mix of curiosity and amusement.
