“Hey, sorry about the other day… Could you teleport here because I got something big to show you…” that’s that came out from the walkie-talkie. That bastard is just trying to befriend with me again, or maybe he really got something big.
“Just wait there I’ll be on my way. Just say your coordinates and I’ll find you there, teleporting does not work for areas I have not been yet.” I let out as I sighed and headed to where he said he was. It was far, very far but good thing that I have a mount that will let me fly through the skies. If this big thing does not impress me, I will never talk to that bastard again.
As I headed to where he said he was, I let my wyvern fly onto the area himself. After a bunch of riding you can get mounts to do the job for you. Whilst he flew onto the unknown area, I looked at the feed to see if something big is up.
Andromeda has achieved One with nature
Hmm, look like I got a title for being one with my mount. I guess I better look at what this thing has to offer. Maybe I’ll discover something in the process.
“Menu”
Andromeda FushigiwaHP: 200SP: UnlimitedMP: 100A: 1000
Hey! Why is the crafting menu gone? Why did this thing replace that? Also why is this just basic stats? I swear this is the crafting menu yesterday. Maybe Mira has some knowledge about this…
I changed the frequency to match hers and called her. “Hey” I said to open up the conversation, “Why does my menu display my stats? Also why does the menu just display only the basic stats?”
Silence filled the air. Is she sleeping or is she just ignoring me? Well, maybe she is just outside and left the walkie-talkie at her mansion. Maybe I’ll just get onto the problem at hand. The wyvern landed on field near a dense forest and looked at me. We’re here?

I changed the frequency again to talk to Albert. “We are here, don’t disappoint me.” I said with a sarcastic tone. I know that bastard all too well. He always disappoints me in the month that I been in this game. I wish my opinions of him changes right now.
“Do you see a structure just ahead? If not just head into the forest, I’ll send you my coordinates.” His voice just sound amazed right now. What is he even saying? Even when in my mount I just see a really dense jungle as far as the eye can see. Did he found a secret dungeon or something?
I unsummoned my mount and headed straight to the jungle. I looked at his coordinates and saw that he was about 10 minutes away from me. What is he even doing deep into the jungle? As I went through the forest I saw many passive monsters roaming around. Many were big, many were small but all was a sure eye-catcher. The wildlife here amazed me, even in a game they captured the beauty of mother nature which is just spectacular.
When I was near his location something captured my eye: a light carved into a tree. I took a closer look just to see more of it, following a direction to Albert’s location. I followed it and was amazed to see that I marked a path leading to somewhere. How did he even discover this?
I followed the trees that led me to Albert’s location. He was inspecting the tree, maybe it captured his attention or something. “Hey Andromeda, did you find this lighted trees odd?” he was correct. The trees are just odd and really pop in this dense jungle. “Maybe it’s pointing to something but what?”
We followed the trees until they ended in a wall of flora. Why are the trees even leading us here? Is this a trap? It’s not because if it’s a trap we could have been killed minutes ago. Plus the trees looked man-made just in their nature.

“Hey Andromeda, you got a torch in your inventory right?” he asked me. I was baffled on what he is trying to accomplish here. This is a jungle! Just a little flame will set an intense wild fire. “Try burning the wall in our front.”
“What are you even talking about Albert? Burning this wall will trigger a chain of even and will end up burning this whole place down to the ground.” I tried to convince him that it’s a hazard but he countered me with something I really did not expect. “The leaves of this flora wall are not created by nature.”
What did he say? The leaves are out of place? I went to touch it and I was shocked. It was true, the leaves are not what they seems. It looks like they are made of synthetics and was man-made. “Maybe the creator of this wall wants humans to burn it down.”
My gut tells me to burn the wall down so I trusted it. I grabbed the torch in my inventory and tried to set the wall, it did not worked but I think we triggered something else. Just by trying to set the wall on fire made a secret entrance appear on the side of the wall.
“What the-““-hell?” was the words that came out our mouth. Who in the right mind can create this contraption? And so we went through the tunnel and a flash of light greeted us on the other side.
When the light faded we did not expect what to discover: A city bustling with life covered under the trees that make the jungle a jungle. It was so beautiful, people created this city on the hopes that they merge the beauty of nature and the power of man. It worked!
“Look who the forest dropped! Are you travelers from afar?” a young girl greeted us with a pleasant look on her face. “Welcome to Lagoomore! A city merged with nature!” so Lagoomore is the name of the place huh. Pretty cool if you ask me! While Albert went with the young lady for a trip round the city I explored the city by myself.
Whilst I was exploring I heard a call on my walkie-talkie. “Hey galaxy sorry for the late answer, you need to level up to see more of your stats, also the crafting menu will be displayed when near a crafting bench.”
“Hey Mira, do you know a place called Lagoomore?” I asked her hoping to get a decent answer. “The secret village of Lagoomore? Well yes, but that was just a myth, many people say it was just a myth for it cannot be seen.” I was shocked, people cannot discover this city? So this is how hidden this place is?
“Well would you believe me that I and my friend found it?” I told her with glee. “I can teleport you here.” I added too.
“Impress me galaxy…”
