Charm

Ning slowly trekked through the jungle. He was walking very slowly to not agitate his wound, so it took him forever to come out of the jungle. 

However, just as he did, yellow light surrounded him and he disappeared for the third time. 

When he reappeared, he was inside another jungle. "F*ck, I just got out of one," he said in anger. However, there was nothing that could be done, so he just sighed and moved on. 

Now that 3 days had gone by, finding a single ingredient or beast worth killing was hard to come by. He kept on walking forward to get out of the jungle. Unfortunately, after an hour or so, he couldn't walk anymore.

In front of him was an iridescent barrier that shifted to purple the further up it went. 

"Did I… walk all this way only to get to the edge?" Ning was in disbelief. He couldn't even fault anyone for this. He looked back and thought, "I have to walk all that way and more again, don't I?"
