## Forest of Death

**The Forest of Death** is a basin surrounded by mountains with an apparently impenetrable forested area. The name comes from the fact that there are almost no birds inhabiting it because it falls prey to demon spiders and other monsters and beasts. This forest is within the territories of the Gargard Demon Kingdom, but also has a small growing community of villages centered around a human farm that has somehow prospered despite the dangers of the forest. On the west side, there is a river that flows from north to south, and the amount of water is abundant due to the large amount of rainfall in the northern mountains, which is the source area.

The Forest of Death is known to have some of the most dangerous wildlife in the world, and many of its species are capable of using magic. In this place the ancient Fallen God was sealed by the Creator God, therefore the mana in this place is abundant which makes it a natural magnet for monsters. The land is extremely hard due to a hard layer of salt, and the plants that make up the forest have adapted to this harsh environment. Perhaps for this reason, the hardness of the plant exceeds that of iron, and even the powerful High Elves call it "the invincible tree".

With highly hostile wildlife, unbreakable floors, and danger around every corner, the fighting power of the monsters and beasts that inhabit it is out of the ordinary. The 4 main beasts of the forest, the *Grappler Bear*, the *Bloody Viper*, the *Inferno Wolf* and the *Demon Spider*, are billed as "walking catastrophes" capable of laying waste to a city in a matter of hours. Even the lowest ranked monsters in the forest, such as the *Killer Rabbit*, are capable of killing a person in one attack and only experienced hunters can go into the forest to hunt them. A normal person will turn into a corpse in less than an hour just by being there.
