They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

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.

No.

She had made a promise to herself.

She needed to grow stronger.

She needed to rely on herself, not a system.

Besides, her good points were running dangerously low.

Without a steady way to earn more inside this cursed forest, she had to save every last one.

And now that they weren’t any closer to escaping, a new fear crawled into her chest

If they didn’t leave the Black Forest before the month ended, she wouldn’t have enough points left to renew her life.

If that happened…

Nnenna swallowed hard.

She would die here.

Lost in this endless sea of trees.

The thought made her shiver despite the humid air.

It was scary. no doubt about it.

But Nnenna wasn’t panicking anymore after a few minutes.

She quietly reminded herself that every day, little by little, she was still earning good points.

The impact she had made before entering the forest was paying off.

The points trickled in slowly, like tiny drops of water, but they were there.

And she prayed, prayed hard, that when the time came, they would be enough to save her life.
