Abrupt Changes
The people present all had the same filthy appearance as well as deathly pale and sunken countenance, frail and weak-looking bodies as thin as a twig.
Mirage had his brows furrowed into a tight frown as he couldn't help but feel a trace of pity for them because of their miserable states.
Earlier, he had thought that maybe there'd be a few lunati— brave people who would dare to explore this treacherous forest, but he didn't expect that this passing thought of his would become true and there were indeed craz— people hiding(?) inside the core area of the forest at that.
He had a hard time believing it but he noticed that these people seemed to be acting strange because even after how much had passed since he entered the place, they still hadn't shown any reactions of some sort.
Also for some reason, the black tiger seemed to have stopped chasing him after he had entered the core area.
