The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 1060

Felix stroked his chin and began walking slowly in one direction. As he observed from this street, Corpse Town was clearly vast. He could not even see where it ended.

"What exactly are the dangers here?"

Ophelia had only mentioned the correct order to enter the Three Forbidden Lands, saying nothing about what lay within. Perhaps she didn't know herself or believed following the sequence would keep Felix safe.

But that didn't matter now. He was already inside.

As he walked, a young waiter emerged from a building with a tavern sign, greeting Felix by asking, "Sir, would you like a room or a meal?"

Felix studied him carefully with a frown before answering, "A meal."

An ordinary person would have been terrified. That was because the waiter's feet hovered slightly off the ground, which was barely noticeable unless one looked closely. "Right this way, sir."

Inside, the tavern buzzed with activity. Every table except one was filled with people laughing, drinking, and chatting merrily. The strange part was that none of these sounds had been audible from outside.

"What would you like to eat, sir? Our beef stew and house spirits are our specialties. Would you like to try them?"

Sensing no immediate danger, Felix played along. "Sure. I'll have those."

As one of the Three Forbidden Lands, where did Corpse Town's dangers lie? Back at Echo Cavern, there were immediate strange sounds that left no room for thought. But here, everything seemed normal except the waiter's unnatural walking pattern.

At these words, the waiter's smile vanished, his gaze turning sinister as he stared at Felix. "By not eating, are you disrespecting me? Or do you think there's something wrong with our ingredients?"

Felix sighed. It seemed this was the moment of truth. Corpse Town's danger apparently required playing along with this scene. He wondered what would happen if he ate the food, though the outcome probably would not differ much.

Besides, only a fool would put this in their mouth. "You're right. There is something wrong with your ingredients."

With a buzz, strange energy pulsed through the tavern. The waiter's eyes bulged, bursting from their sockets with tendons dangling, swaying beside his nose.

Simultaneously, all the customers transformed, surrounding Felix while speaking in unison, "Welcome to Corpse Town."
