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.

[Mission: Dive into the water.]

[Description: Dive down to the bottom of the lake.]

[Reward: Icy Plain 100 Years Old Ice.]

However, this was the first time Noel received this sudden mission. When he looked at Anna who was already suspicious about the water, he could understand the reason. Since he shared his vision with the spirits, they, specifically Heisk, knew Anna had found out something about the ice underwater.

'I see. I should be the one getting this ice then. I don't know their use, but I believe it's useful for me.' Noel thought as he put down his bag and approached the water. "Move."
