Just as he expected, the distortion had always been here before the people settled.
And since this particular spot was safe from Ghosts and provided them easy access to wood, the people stayed here. Most of the people here are probably desperate and don't have a home, so there's no reason for them to leave the forest.

It was surprising to realize that the system knew so much more about the area than the natives.
Who knows when the space distortion started? It could've been decades or even centuries ago.
Deklan nodded.
In that case, the space distortion must be what was keeping the Ghosts away—and that's also the reason why the hamlet's connection to the Ten-Flux Endless Forest was severed. Since only this particular area is protected, there should be a barrier that can't be seen by the naked eye.
Knowing this, Deklan's first task became clear—he needed to find the source of the distortion.
