Van didn't realize that his uncle had disappeared. He was only focused on observing the surroundings with caution and a hint of curiosity.
"The environment here is so dim, like night. It's also cold and damp. The ground is a bit muddy too, seems like it'll be full of sludge. The trees here reach hundreds of meters tall. No wonder the readers of my novel think this forest is haunted," Van thought.
Elsewhere, two small monsters immediately panicked upon realizing their uncle had vanished right in front of them.
They clung to Van like snails, occasionally glancing around with fear and anxiety.
"Calm down. That lunatic left us here on purpose—to train," Van said calmly.
'But this doesn't answer my question. Why did he come back? Isn't he the type who likes isolating himself? Never mind. I'll ask him after this training ends,' Van thought.
