Chapter 324: Inside the Forest of Regrets

She knew she could ask the Love System for directions.

It would have been so easy, a single question, a few good points spent, and they might find a way out.

But she clenched her fists at her sides.

She had made a promise to herself.

She needed to grow stronger.

She needed to rely on herself, not a system.
