Seth observed the man well, then he asked him to move and Seth came out. He stored his mini house and then observed the mountain foot well. The mountain extended to the end of his sight and both sides and there was no entrance, maybe from above.

Seth looked at the Red Eye Resident and asked, "How many creatures do you want to hunt?"

"As many as I could!" The tall and pale skinny man answered.

Seth nodded and said, "I will help you kill at most three Abhorrent Monsters that weren't level 6"

The man stared at Seth for some minute and then nodded.

Seth glanced at the quest and he found it has changed to indicate level Abhorrent monsters only.

He smiled and he followed the man to the dead land, it was still night and there were many movements under the moonlight.

The red-eyed man pulled something from his pocket, a balloon filled with water and then rolled it forward. A spray of water came out from a punctured hole in the balloon and that was when a hyena-goat abhorrent monster dashed forward toward the water. The moment it was close to the balloon and that was within ten meters of the man.

Seth's eyes were wide in, as he watched. The man was very fast when a long sword just appeared in his hand and then slashed at the creature in the blink of an eye.

The death of the creature made it decay fast and left a black stone, then another creature dashed forward mindlessly toward the balloon without care that one of them just died.

The man made a sword-striking pose, holding the sword with both hands and striking and that split them in two, killing them and they kept coming. In just ten minutes the man has killed more than 50 Abhorrent Monsters. He only stopped because the water in the balloon had spilt out completely.

"This is how you can kill them continuously!" The man turned and said, then he brought out a balloon and gave it to Seth.

'It's as if he was teaching me?' Seth thought.

He collected the balloon and looked at the man before he stood beside him and rolled the balloon. The coarse land was the one that pricked the balloon and made it spill water.

Seth pulled out his short sword and pointed toward the running Monster, but before he shot, he calmed his mind and made sure the Aura of Sky-wing Strike was completely off.

"Shoot!"

The blade lengthened fast and struck the heart of the monster and it dropped dead. Before Seth breathed in another creature jumped toward the water, he adjusted and struck it. That way many came and unclamatically killed many, till the water spilt away.

Seth looked at the man with a meaningful look then he smiled and said, "okay."

Seth tapped his chest and a large shield came out, and then a pair of gloves. He wore them and then also brought an empty sack and wrapped it around his waist.

Seth knew the loot, it was the black stone that was formed after abhorrent were killed. Under Seth's Aura Sight, they are red until a human touches them which they suck in their blood.

Seth wisely walked sideways keeping the man in his sight before he walked toward and made a long detour until he was facing the man.

All the while the man was staring at Seth like an Owl. Seth bent down and picked one of the stones and put it in his sack all the while the shield he was holding was pushed forward.

One by one, Seth picked up the stones until he picked 89 stones. And then walked to the man and handed him the sack.

The man still had his eyes on Seth and didn't collect the stones.

"How? You pick the correct stones"

"I can see!"

The Red eye nodded and then collected each and turned around. "Follow me!"

[You have attained gamification to enter Red Eye Valley]

The moment they reached the first of the mountains, a path opened. The rocky part of the mountain cracked and split into two.

'Aura Sight!" Seth muttered in his mainland his vision changed.

The crack went up the stairs, nothing seemed suspicious to him. Seth then walked in and the hand size cracked.

[You have entered Red Eye Valley]

All pressure disappeared and his weightlessness made him float up. He quickly turned off the cloak Attributes and he touched the ground.

The man suddenly turned and looked at Seth, "What are you?"

"Human… and you are what?" Seth answered.

"I'm Red Eye!"

"The Valley?"

"That's our kind!"

They stared at each before they continued forward. Seth however was having goosebumps ever since he met the man. The man seemed to be throwing Quest at him but all of them were bait to make a mistake and show weakness and Seth would have died. That was why all the time he made sure that his eyes were on the man.

By the time they reached the top of the stairs, a bright full moon glared back at them. Seth felt the light pressing on him. But what met his eyes when he looked at the Valley was breath taken.

Seth gazed down at the Valley, it was filled with vines and flowers coiled around tall trees. At the periphery, the trees were as long as 70 meters and the further one to the centre of the valley, the shorter they were. But what made it amazing was the trees' leaves were green but their body was red.

The vines were bright red that glowed and the flowers were like a light bulb bright with crimson light.

At the very centre was a small town that was made of white buildings and the very centre was a black and red structure. With one glance, the town resembles a red eye.

"Hmm!"

"Beautiful right?" The man said.

"Yes," Sethanswered.

"I'm Red Eye Town Scout, Redop Irik. I welcome you to Red Valley"

"Thank you. I'm Seth Enoch from the North!" Seth said.

Redop Irik nodded and guided Seth forward.

'Damn' Seth cursed as he saw an ominous thing in the red flowers that were on the red vines. He couldn't see it completely with his Aura Sight but the faint glimpse was body numbing.

CRACK!

Seth felt his stone crack. "Fuck me!" Seth muttered.

"What was that?" Redop Irik asked.

"I felt something gazing at me!" Seth said as he glared at the man.

"Oh! We have watchers that oversee this path. Don't mind them." He said dismissively.

"Oh?" Seth said suspiciously. The man continued walking in front of Seth while Seth followed him. But this time he had already pulled his short sword halfway through in case something happened.

'This place is like Living Roots'

Seth confirmed after he checked his chest. His Pure White Stone Will was tainted with a red stripe. And he didn't feel it yet but he knew something was trying to invade his mind just like Living Roots did.

When he almost reached his Aura Sight limits he turned it off for a moment. The view of the forest returned to its beautiful multi-coloured red-green colour from the overwhelming red.

Then he thought about something, he activated his Aura Sight and looked at his body and his mind skipped a beat.

There was a layer of red gelatinous substances on his Greed Hood Cloak. It was also connected with webs of red that went directly to the forest.

'Activate!'

Seth activated the Green Hood Cloak and then all the red substances slipped down. And Seth felt his Will recovering. And his shoulder was unknowingly heavy, relaxed.
