Chapter 10: Three coloured-rabbit
Alex didn't stay long with the officers and soon left after they exchanged a few words. He was allowed entry outside the borders of Balon City.
This was Alex's first time outside the city; there was no recollection in the memories he had received after transmigrating either; it was a first-time experience.
In front of him was a large expanse of dry land that stretched for hundreds of meters outside the borders. He could spot some trees that marked the entrance of a forest in the distance but it was far from his current location.
The sun was high in the sky already, but he was unable to feel the temperature due to the protection from his mask and robe; he couldn't help but comment on the other uses of these items apart from their primary functions.
"Alright, let's stay close to the border and find weak monsters to level up," Alex mumbled to himself as he started to move towards the first in the distance.
After walking for several minutes, Alex was now in front of the forest with two gigantic trees in front of him and lush bushes filled his vision. The trees look several times larger than they were when he was still in front of the border, the sight of them up close was shocking.
Alex doubted that anything like this could be found in his old world.
"Well, nothing in this world is the same as Earth; I shouldn't be too shocked." He said with a sigh before searching through the storage device that was given to him by the union.
His old backpack appeared in his hand the next second, Alex searched through the backpack for a few seconds before bringing out a small compass. He returned the backpack to the storage device while the compass remained in his hand.
He had prepared the compass beforehand so that he didn't end up getting lost while exploring; he wasn't familiar with locations outside the border, so a compass would allow him to know his general location and where to go.
After turning in one place for a few seconds, Alex picked a side and immediately headed in that direction while putting the compass back in the storage bracelet.
