When Naoto found himself at the end of the volcanic area, he saw the white line in the middle of the black earth, and he felt tension rising inside him. He knew that this line was something abnormal, something different from anything he knew. However, he jumped over it carefully, trying not to touch it.
But when he put his foot on the other side of the line, there was a sudden change in the atmosphere. As if time stood still, Naoto felt the scorching heat fade away and the lava recede. It was replaced by a mysterious calm and intense coldness. The ground suddenly turned into a frozen area.
'what the hell?!'
Naoto felt startled and terrified at the same time. Just before he had been in an area full of heat and volcanic activity, but now he found himself in a completely different place. The cold air seeped into his body, making him shiver violently. He was trying hard to adapt to this sudden change, but he felt confused and confused.
The icy scenery surrounding him was beautiful and terrifying at the same time.
Naoto found himself trapped in this frozen world, where heavy snow fell from the sky and covered the ground in pure white. The hot ash that had just been boiling turned into water that froze in an instant.
The gusty wind was blowing with full force, making the air even colder. Naoto kept freezing and stopping breathing, as the temperature dropped dramatically. His light clothes were not enough to protect him from this extreme cold.
Naoto started running in search of shelter, running quickly through the beautiful icy scenery, trying to find any place where he could protect himself from these harsh conditions. In the middle of this frozen area, Naoto finds a small hideout, which he uses to protect himself from the strong winds and heavy snow. Naoto sat in the hideout and tried to regain his warmth, hugging himself quietly. Amidst the deadly silence, Naoto began to remember the events that had led him to where he was.
After a few hours of waiting, the storm stopped and the winds calmed down. Naoto came out of hiding and saw the beautiful scenery surrounding him. He felt amazed and admired by the beauty of nature despite its harshness
Naoto continued his walk across the frozen lands, crossing heavy snow and frozen ice. The strong wind was blowing his hair, and the bitter cold was penetrating his clothes and touching his skin. However, his desire to explore this harsh environment kept him going.
As he progressed, he began to notice large imprints in the snow, indicating the presence of animals nearby, and he decided to follow those imprints to find out what creatures lived in this harsh region.
After a short while of walking, he reached an open area overlooking a frozen lake. There, he saw stunning views of sparkling white snow and translucent ice reflecting the sun's rays, creating an enchanting sight.
While he was enjoying the view, he noticed slow movement in the far corner of the lake. Just then, polar bears appeared, slowly wandering across the frozen ice. She looked huge and majestic, with her thick white fur and blue eyes gleaming in the sunlight.
In a sudden moment, a group of huge bears appeared before him, gathered around their favorite prey, a baby seal with a broken bone. The bears are fierce and aggressive, with their long fangs and sharp claws. They started to devour, but the seal meat was not enough. Naoto retreated from the place, and accidentally broke a tree branch on the ground. The bears turned and saw Naoto. Without thinking, Naoto's muscles contracted and he started running. In a frozen snowy area, Naoto was running at high speed. He is trying to get away from huge polar bears chasing him. He was afraid and terrified and knew he was in real danger.
Polar bears were passing him with heavy steps and barking in a terrifying voice. Its sharp fangs were shining in the falling snow, and its eyes were shining fiercely. Naoto knew he couldn't keep running for long, so he decided to look for a safe place to hide.
Naoto found a small cave in the side of the mountain and quickly entered it. The cave was dark and cold, but it was a safe place where he could hide from the predatory bears. He waited there for a few hours, certain that the bears had left the area.
"I'm tired. I'm tired of hiding and running away. Why do I always have to run away? My weakness is the reason. If I were strong, I wouldn't run away."
Naoto said feeling weak and frustrated
Naoto got up and left the cave. He placed the spear in one of the cave's outer crevices
(What does the host do?)
"Just wait and see"
Naoto headed towards one of the sounds of bears roaring. Naoto followed one of the bears that was chasing him, and he threw a stone until it hit the polar bear's eye.
Anger exploded in the bear's eyes, and he made frightening sounds of pain. The bear tries to chase after Naoto, but he cannot see well due to his injury. He begins to wander erratically, raising his voice in extreme pain. Naoto runs towards the cave he found and stands in front of the spear, with the polar bear running towards him.
Suddenly, the bear jumped towards Naoto with tremendous speed. A moment before Naoto collided with the bear, Naoto jumped to the side, causing the spear to pierce directly into the bear's head. The bear suddenly stopped and fell to the ground, breathing heavily and making muffled sounds of pain. Naoto removed his spear from the crack. And he struck the bear with the final blow
(Does the host want to die? Do you realize that even a simple mistake can kill you?)
Naoto sighed, "I know, but if I didn't do this, it would still be a knot in my heart."
(You stupid )
"Know "
Naoto skinned the bear and wrapped its body in it to keep it warm. He put the bear meat in the storeroom and set off on his way.
The stormy wind was messing with his hair
His eyes wandered, searching for any sign of hope or sign of a way out in this frozen world. Snowflakes dance around him like white jewels,
Every second, his imagination paints optimism in his mind. He started to lose hope of returning, but he continued walking
Without stopping, it was as if he had become an empty vessel
Amidst the melting snow and stormy winds, Naoto continued his arduous journey, carrying with him the bear skin as a shield to protect him from the harsh weather. With every step, he felt fatigue creeping into his body and pain radiating through his exhausted organs.
Doubts and negative thoughts crept into his mind, and he wondered if the regime was trying to eliminate him, but he refused to give in to doubts and fear, and decided to continue walking towards his unknown fate.
Although the few remaining meals were beginning to wear out, he continued to sustain his remaining strength and in this cold silence, the falling snow became a sanatorium to clear his thoughts and calm his restless soul.
As time passed, his physical strength eroded, and he found it difficult to keep warm in the falling snow. With every step he takes, his journey becomes more difficult.
Naoto finds himself seeking a sun that doesn't break through the thick clouds, as he traverses a horrific landscape. His voice echoes through the deserted coastal areas, making him feel like a purposeless being.
He continued walking until he reached the end of his path. In front of him was a black abyss as if it had no bottom and there was no other side to cross to. Naoto looked confused.
"Did you go wrong?"
(No, the road is right, you have to get down, steward)
Naoto sighed deeply, "I'm going to regret this."
Naoto began to descend, gently placing one foot after the other, searching for any holes to cling to. In the first position, the position collapsed, and Naoto lost his balance and fell into the abyss.
Naoto woke up at the bottom of an icy abyss
The place was dark and he could see nothing but cold ice and solid rocks around him. The ice walls were rising high above him, and there was a strong whistling sound echoing in the cold air.
Naoto started walking, his steps echoing in the icy abyss, and as he progressed, the sound became fading. After walking for half an hour, a silhouette of a temple appeared before him. The temple was made entirely of ice, and was illuminated by a cold blue light. Naoto entered the temple and felt coldness surrounding him from all sides.
(You have successfully reached the Ice Temple)
"Has my journey come to an end?"
Naoto wondered in confusion, and an expression of relief appeared on his face. Naoto advanced toward the main hall of the temple. There he found a door similar to the one he had come from for the first time. He opened the door slowly and entered a very black area. The room was completely dark. Naoto could not see anything in it.

Naoto felt a warm feeling passing through each of his wounds, as if his body was submerged in water, but when it came to his left arm, he felt intense pain. The muscles and tissues of his arm were being rebuilt. He felt intense pain. He was witnessing his bones growing very quickly and being covered by flesh, manes, and skin. He began The pain gradually fades and Naoto regains feeling in his new arm. The arm looked strong and healthy, and moved smoothly and easily. He was surprised and happy to have his lost arm back.

(Back to reality)
Suddenly a white light filled the room. When Naoto realized what had happened, he found himself back in the cave, and his appearance and clothes returned to what they were. He went out happily, running back to his house, and opened the door forcefully.
His grandmother was cleaning dishes in the kitchen and turned around after hearing the sound of the door opening
"Welcome back.....!"
Grandma dropped the plate from her hand, and tears filled her eyes
Upon seeing her, Naoto rushed towards his grandmother, and the grandmother ran to meet him. As they picked each other up in a warm hug, Grandma burst into tears of joy and happiness. She felt like her heart would explode with happiness at finding him
"Naoto, where have you been?"
"Sorry for the long absence"
"Why didn't you at least leave a message? We were worried."
Naoto did not know what to answer his grandmother, so he remained silent, and the place was silent
His grandmother grabbed his cheeks and told him with a big smile on her face
"Go clean yourself up, dinner will be ready soon."
Naoto nodded and headed towards the stairs
On the way to the bathroom, Naoto felt something as if his emotions had stopped. It wasn't that he didn't miss his family, but it was as if his feelings were repressed, but he didn't care much about it.
He finished bathing and preparing himself, Naoto went back downstairs and at this time Grandpa entered the house
"Naoto!You are back!"
A smile appeared on the grandfather's face as he tried to hold back his tears. Naoto came down the stairs and hugged his grandfather warmly.
"You worried us"
"I'm so sorry for the worry I caused," Naoto said, trying to hold back tears as well.
"Never mind, the important thing is that you are fine now," the grandfather said in a voice full of tenderness.
Everyone sat together in the living room,
Grandma put the food on the table
And they started eating dinner. Grandma had prepared Naoto's favorite meal. Everyone was talking, laughing, and sharing stories about what happened during Naoto's absence.
After eating, Naoto went up to his room, lay down on his bed, and began to check his status window
(It was discovered that the host has 1000 points. Do you want to develop the system?)
"What benefits will I get?"
(New powers with the opening of the second level of the store)
"But I didn't buy anything from the store."
(The thing is, you don't have points to buy anything)
"Level 1 equipment has disappeared from the store"
(Don't worry it won't go away)
"I agree then"
(The system is being upgraded, the process will take some time)
"Okay, I'm going to sleep now. I have school tomorrow, and I really miss this bed."
Naoto slept in his bed like a baby from the accumulated fatigue from the test
----------------------------------
Naoto woke up the next morning,
He woke up feeling energetic, changed his clothes and went down the stairs
"Good morning Naoto, sit down, breakfast is ready."
Grandma greeted him with a bright smile, and Naoto responded with a smile
"Good morning "
Naoto sat next to his grandfather who was reading a newspaper. Naoto noticed news on the front page of the newspaper.
'Boys who use drugs end up dead in a traffic accident'
"Children these days are straying from the right path."
Grandpa sighed deeply
"that's unfortunate"
Naoto responded to Grandpa's words while eating his breakfast
"Grandpa, I will be late from home today, I will go to the library."
"It's okay, just don't stress yourself."
"Good "
Naoto hurriedly left for school, and on his way he started reading on his phone. He was reading his favorite novel that he never got tired of no matter how many times he read it, until he reached the school gate. He put his phone in his pocket and entered with a group of people. He climbed the stairs and entered his classroom. He sat in his place and put his head on the table until the professor entered, and he was listening to his classmates, most of whom were talking about him behind his back.
•Is this the boy who ran away from home after being completely crushed?
You should have seen him that day. He was in a miserable state.
I'm sure he's embarrassed to show his face here.
(Host earned 57+ gossip points)
As for Naoto, he did not care much, not as if it was his first time, but it was profitable for him
The professor entered the classroom, and noticed Naoto's presence
"Naoto, please go to the teachers' room."
Naoto got up and headed to the teachers' room. Naoto entered the room and met his teacher
"If you don't mind being absent for nearly two weeks."
Naoto kept a deadpan expression on his face
"I have no excuse"
"Listen, you are an excellent student, and I know that you face problems, especially for an orphan boy, but this will lead to a drop in your grades."
'You don't know anything'
Naoto bowed his head slightly and said
"Okay, thank you, and I promise it won't happen again."
Naoto left the hall and headed back to his class, sat there and continued the rest of the class.
It was lunch time. Naoto hurriedly left the classroom and headed to the back of the school building. He looked into his classroom from the outside and saw Akihiro searching his classroom.
(The system has been successfully updated to the second version, and the {gambling} function has been successfully opened)
Naoto didn't care what the system said, and continued to monitor his class
"I knew he would come looking for me, system, how many status points do I have?"
(The host has four status points)
"Put them all into force."

"Explain about this Pious Heart ability and the aura of death."
(Pious Heart: A skill that eliminates all states, and more precisely, eliminates all feelings such as fear, shock, and tension

"If this ability of the pious heart is the reason."
Naoto watched Akihiro search for him throughout lunch, and Naoto applied the Eye of Awareness to Akihiro.

"His stats are slightly higher than mine."
Naoto was thinking deeply about how he would fight Akihiro since he couldn't avoid him forever
Finally, Naoto returned to his class.
He sat in the classroom after the lunch period, completed the lessons
