CHAPTER 47: [Upgrade]
.
While Ethan was still in the forest, a small creature in his dorm room was planning its escape.
"The human has been gone for a while. This is my chance," thought the small white mouse as it eyed the cage door.
The mouse had noticed that the human, who was on the verge of catching it and doing who knows what, had gotten distracted by his work and forgotten to close the cage door.
With a swift move, the mouse slipped out of the cage and scanned the room for an exit.
For a moment, its gaze rested on a bag hanging on the other side of the room.
The mouse knew what was inside the bag, having seen the human open it that morning.
It contained food, and the mouse was tempted to nibble on something quickly but restrained itself.
It knew it had to be fast.
Not knowing when the human would return, the mouse didn't want to waste any time.
