They moved in silence. The faint call of crickets filled the distance, joined by the rustle of leaves as something small— maybe a rabbit, maybe not darted away through the brush. Sid's eyes scanned ahead, every sense alert for movement.
Thanks to his HUD awareness, the map projected a glowing path across his vision, marking the exact route toward the cabin.

Nexus Green was massive, an endless sprawl of wilderness and ruin but with the system's guidance, he no longer felt lost.
A few more turns through the twisting vines, and there it was.
The cabin sat half buried in the greenery, its roof sagging under a blanket of moss and ivy. Sid exhaled quietly, feeling some of the tension in his shoulders release. He whispered.
"We're here."
