Sea Abyss Island was enveloped in a dense mist created by formations, making it difficult to observe from the outside. The moment one set foot on the island, this mist would vanish as if it were a lie.
Those stepping onto Sea Abyss Island for the first time, if they were not well-versed in formations, would often find their eyes widening at such a powerful first impression. The man, Nang-hwi, who had set foot on Sea Abyss Island for the first time with his companion, was no different. Of course, his companion, Bang-seo, was much the same.
"Do not cause a disturbance on the island. If a personal dispute arises, you must leave the island to resolve it."
The guide who greeted them at the docks advised them of a few things in a monotone voice. It was the kind of boilerplate warning one could hear anywhere, yet no one disregarded his words. The stories they had heard about Sea Abyss Island were simply too numerous for that.
There was no way to know how much truth was mixed in with those many tales, but there was no harm in being cautious.
"Should we find a place to stay first?"
"We should."
Nang-hwi and Bang-seo parted ways with their fellow passengers and moved to find lodging. Fortunately, Sea Abyss Island, like other famous islands, was neatly divided into districts, so finding an inn was not difficult.
