As I stepped into the Orc Forest, I felt a wave of nostalgia.

"Wow."@@novelbin@@

It's been so long, Orc Forest!

The massive trees towered overhead, sunlight filtering through the thick leaves. Inside the forest, beams of sunlight scattered in all directions, painting an indescribably beautiful scene.

This was a sight rarely seen back in South Korea—a unique beauty found only in the forests of the fantasy world of the Astria Continent.

It felt as though I was reliving the awe I had experienced when I first returned to the Astria Continent.

The vast forests of *Astria Online*, which players traverse, are often hunting grounds or battlegrounds for various factions.

But enjoying such scenery was one of the ways to fully experience the Astria Continent.

Of course, I had spent plenty of time in the Northern Elven Forest during the previous expansion pack, but the forests in the central part of the continent offered a different kind of beauty. The species of trees were different, and the plants thrived in varying conditions.

To be honest, back then, I was so focused on leveling up that I didn’t really take the time to look around.

*Tatatat! Clang!*

*Screeech!*

"Oh."

I noticed a male player dressed in beginner adventurer gear. He was wielding a sword—most likely a swordsman—fighting an orc. He was tall, but his face looked rather young. High school-aged at best?

The *Orc Forest*, this beginner hunting ground, was immensely vast. Not only this forest but most of the continent's hunting zones covered large areas for players. Dungeons were handled through instanced fields, generated for individuals or parties.
