The Lost Map

The Virtual World — Welcome World · Extra 02

The city was bustling with adventurers.

Names and levels floated above their heads. Some were far more experienced than LYRIA; others looked as though they had only just arrived.

She wandered through the market, curious about every stall and alleyway.

Then something caught her eye.

A rolled-up parchment was sticking out from beneath the worn cover of an old cart.

“Wait… what's this doing here?”

She crouched and carefully pulled it free.

It was a yellowed, weather-beaten map. Mountains, forests, ancient structures, and places LYRIA had never seen covered its surface.

But one detail stood out above all the others.

A red X.

No directions. No explanation.

LYRIA studied the mark for a few seconds.

Then she smiled.

“Well… surely this isn't an invitation to get myself into trouble.”

She carefully folded the map.

Of course, she'd already decided to follow it.
