<The Beast has awakened!>
<The Depths have fallen silent!>
Huhā¦? Shit. Raelās brows twitched.
He had expected there to be some sort of catch.
And there it was.
The fucking catch.
<The Beast is hunting!>
<Do not make a sound!>
No sound⦠Well, that might be a problem, Rael thought as he turned toward the Bogcrawler.
He hadnāt turned off the ignition, so now it was making loud rumbling sounds.
However, instead of panicking, Rael merely took a few steps back and went behind the obelisk.
As much as he wanted to run to the mini truck and turn it off, he would much rather listen to the systemās advice of staying silent.
After all, dying like an idiot was not on his bucket list.
And thankfully, he did as after a few seconds of hiding, the Bogcrawlerās engine cut outāreplaced by total silence.
Raelās curiosity was definitely high, but he wasnāt about to expose himself only to die the next second.
So he waited⦠and waited, until roughly 20 minutes later, he heard the distant sounds of something walking away.
But the steps were irregular, each one heavier than the rest, which meantā¦
Itās not real⦠Those fucking hallucinations are no joke. No wonder that green thing didnāt hit me and passed through the ground, Rael deduced with a grumble.
Nonetheless, just as he thought he was going to have to wait even longer, a set of messages appeared.
<The Beast has stopped hunting!>
<The Beast has successfully devoured 952,112 souls in The Depths>
<The Beast is satisfied, and returns to its slumber.>
Rael stared at the messages warily.
It had been only half an hour since the flame was lit and the Beast began huntingāyet it had managed to kill nearly a million people?
Fuck⦠if Iām ever in a fight and that thing wakes up, Iām dead, Rael thought as he got out of cover.
The moment he did, he saw his Bogcrawler flattened on the ground, forming a small crater.
If he didnāt know any better, then heād guess The Beast had stepped on it.
Surely not�
Nonetheless, he was left with no transportation, and buying something loud seemed a bit risky now.
What if The Beast came back?
Iām being too much of a pussy, I feel likeā
<Warning: Excessive amounts of sound, and the lighting of the Bonfires will awaken The Beast!>
<Warning: Each awakening cycle is longer than the first!>
He assumed that if it was 30 minutes now, it would likely be an hour next time.
That was why, for his own sake, Rael decided on something a bit more⦠quiet?

<Expand for more>
It was an obvious choice, so Rael immediately purchased the second option.
In an instant, a motorcycle with no wheels materialized, slightly hovering off the ground.
Battery-powered, and the sound doesnāt wake up the whole neighborhood, nice⦠though I wonder why itās so cheap? Rael thought as he got on the bike.
But once he started it up and began moving, he realized the problem.
It was slowāvery slow.
If he had to compare its speed to anything, then it was like riding an old bicycle.
However, there was one neat thing about it, and that was the autopilot function.
Since the map he had was somehow linked with the Hover Bike, all he had to do was press a few buttons, and it began heading toward the mark automatically.
I have a bit of time to kill, so letās go here⦠Rael thought as he pressed on the next location that was pretty close to him.
It was an abandoned lighthouse, and from the looks of things, the only thing he had to do was either go around the water, or glide directly through.
Can Iā¦? Rael pondered as he searched the Hover Bikeās interface, until finally, he found something interesting.
<Hover Control>
<Static/Floating/Flying>
<Note: Due to the manufacturerās cheaping out, the Flying option is unavailable.>
Nothing went right, but it was fine.
Static worked similarly, so as long as he could maintain his altitude, Rael could get over to the other side.
Having decided that, he got comfortable on the Hover Bike and looked through other stuff while it floated him to the abandoned lighthouse.
He opened the friend list, and was prepared to message Zafira, howeverā¦
<Friend List ā Unavailable!>
The entire menu was messed up, and he couldnāt even see Zafiraās name.
Linlin wasnāt there either.
Well⦠sheās going to give me an earful, Rael thought, resigning to his fate as he decided to get some shuteye.
But to no oneās surprise, he wasnāt able to fall asleep.
Each time Rael closed his eyes, the only thing he could see was the massive red moon.
So if I canāt sleep or message anyone⦠you know what, fuck it, Rael sat upright as he opened a certain menu.
<Would you like to convert 792 Trell into 396 Experience? Yes/No>
He shouldāve just done this earlier, but even so, Rael swiftly pressed āYes.ā
Immediately, a few familiar pop-ups appeared.
<Long Main Questā[Find the Beast (Level ???) | Part-3 Locked!]>
<Note: The main quest is no longer a memory fragment. The user will be given the option to enter The Depths to continue the main quest upon reaching level 150. When the user reaches level 200, they will be given the option to either abandon the main quest, or enter The Depths.>
So it upped in difficulty, didnāt it? Raelās brows furrowed.
Previously, it said this quest was a memory fragment.
That meant he was likely playing out a certain moment in time, not the real thing.
Or so I hope⦠Knowing how shit my luck is, Iām likely here for real, Rael thought, before focusing on the more interesting stuff.
