System vs Rebirth

Just like the prediction, Noel and Anna found a small lake in the middle of the forest. There were at least some distances between the water and the nearest tree, so there was no dead tree floating in the lake.

At the same time, the water itself was a crystal clear, showing that it wasn't contaminated by anything.

"This is…" Anna narrowed her eyes and approached the water, examining it carefully. She even touched the water and felt the cold temperature even though it was still summer.

On the other hand, Noel found his system pop out of nowhere, startling him.
