While Victoria was asleep, I quietly sat by the bed and looked outside through the small window.

Since the ship was moving along the coastline, I could see the distant shore, so I wasn’t bored.

But just because we were on a ship, it didn’t mean we were heading to an island or another continent.

Victoria’s school and home were on the same continent. But between them, there was an impenetrable jungle.

So, if Victoria wanted to travel from school to her home, she would have to either take a ship along the coast or take a long train ride.

Victoria simply chose the quicker and easier method. A train ride would take much longer.

In the distant forest visible from the small window, occasional flashes of light would appear.

No matter how I looked at it, it looked like fire, but there was no actual fire.

It was the native creatures’ light.

In the jungle, wild beasts that could be called monsters roamed.

That’s why the area is untraversed by humans.

The jungle itself is a region that rejects human presence.@@novelbin@@

Even with the advancement of civilization, jungles often remain for quite a long time. Unless there is a special resource, the cost of clearing a jungle is too high compared to the benefits of doing so, even with the technology to conquer it.

This is the case in a world that doesn’t use magic or energy.

In a world with creatures that use magic or energy, the risks multiply by several hundred times.

That’s why, in this world, the outline of the world is drawn, but the interior remains unexplored.
