Ethan activated [True Sight] and did a thorough sweep of the forest around them.
What he saw made his gut twist—both with anticipation and a flicker of unease.
There were others in this forest. Moving figures. Lots of them.
And they weren't human.
His first reaction was interest, almost excitement—because yeah, powerful mutant beasts meant powerful EXP. With the right approach, they could absolutely use this place as a goldmine for leveling up fast.

That would mean a fast track to a full squad wipe.
This place wasn't Earth. On Earth, humans, zombies, mutant beasts—they all started from the same point. Even if some enemies were stronger, the difference could be managed.
But here?
Here, he had no idea how long this ecosystem had been around. No clue how the native creatures evolved or ranked up. And the first thing they ran into when entering was a Tier 10 Titan Ape.
