It was extremely out of place in this setting, to Xinya it seemed that even as time moved on and everything changed this one place would forever remain untouched. He was a little in awe and slightly fanboying. This was the place he read about, he still could hardly believe it. After taking a picture of the cottage for his personal collection, he messaged Wei and Wandering Snow in party chat.

DC:Guys guess what I found!!

RW:WHO CARES, WHERE THE h.e.l.l ARE YOU! 

WS:Roaming Wind don"t shout at him, I"m sure he didn"t mean to wander alone in the forest where he could die.

DC:Your sarcasm is not wanted Wandering Sound, and I just saw something on the map that I wanted to check out.

RW:And you couldn"t stop and inform us before going?

DC:I saw that you two were busy talking so I didn"t want to interrupt you.

RW:So what if I"m talking, interrupt me all you want, just don"t go off by yourself in dangerous places. If you die it would take days before you can level up again and you know that.

WS:Drifting Cloud she is right, if it was anywhere else it would be ok but in these woods the monsters are dangerous and we don"t want to see you lose experience and coins because you didn"t want to bother us.

DC:Your both right, I promise from now on, no matter what you two are doing If I want to do something I will bother you. 

RW:This boy…. 

DC:That"s what you want right?

WS:I mean, only in dangerous places.

DC:Well I"m hereby informing you that I"m in a very dangerous place right now.  

RW:What!?! Where are you?

DC:Remember the lore of this forest…

WS:Don"t tell me...

DC:Yup I found the place.

RW: What place? What are you two talking about?

WS:Roaming Wind I will tell you on the way to him. Drifting Cloud mark you coordinate!

DC:I already did and be very quiet on the way here as to not alert anything.

WS:Alright we are on our way we be there in about 20 minutes. Sit tight, and don"t die!

Closing the party chat, Xinya thought about waiting for them to arrive but he really wanted to get a closer look at the cabin. He remembered what he read in the forums, how everyone who saw it died, but in all of those accounts when the players stumbled upon it, they were either fighting or fell and accidentally discovered it. Either way when they discovered the cottage they were making a lot of noise at the time or so they said.  

After coming to that realization, Xinya took the stealth approach as he made his way over while towards the cottage. As he was getting closer the only thought that pa.s.sed through his mind was,"I"m a ninja, I"m a ninja."  

Xinya finally made it to one of the windows that were on the side of the cottage after a couple of minutes of panic-inducing fear of being caught and killed. Sneakily he looked into the cottage to see that it looked quite normal, practically homely considering two undead people who lived there.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Suddenly there was a noise and two men exited from the side room, they weren"t what Xinya was expecting them to look like at all. Besides the slight greying of the skin, they really didn"t look dead. The taller of the two was muscular with prominent features that made him look strikingly handsome, while the smaller one had a softer edge to his features, but he didn"t look feminine at all he was as handsome as the other. The only thing was that his eyes held a doll-like quality, it was like his body was there but his mind wasn"t.

As Xinya watched the two men embrace, Xinya couldn"t help but wonder if the mage became a victim of Stockholm syndrome. He really felt bad for the little mage who had been stuck for centuries with a man he despises without any means of escape. Maybe after all this time he broke and started playing along with captor.

Xinya didn"t want it to be that way, he wanted the little mage to fight to be able to get away as he did. Xinya stared at the little mage hoping to see that there was some fight left within him, just as he was thinking that the little mage abruptly looked straight at him. As their eyes connected the gla.s.siness of the little mage"s eyes started to fade and Xinya could see hope bloom.
