The world in which the Witch’s Woods existed was extremely limited and closed off—a sealed world isolated in space from the outside. It was there to contain beings that were too dangerous to leave alone but that people either couldn’t or weren’t willing to kill.

That was what it had originally been created for, at least, but it had been a long time since then. Its name and existence had been forgotten, and it was now only known as the Witch’s Woods.

Regardless, if one thing was certain, it was that this was an isolated place. That meant that any normal person would die within a few days if left here alone.

That was simply because they would have no way to secure food. There were plants and mushrooms that might have been edible, but given that there were many poisonous species as well, consuming them was little different from suicide.

There were animals that it would be theoretically possible to get meat from...but those animals were monsters. Whoever tried to turn them into meat would likely end up as their snack first.

Therefore, Felicia was brought food once a month. It made sense, since if they’d planned to let her starve to death, they would have killed her from the beginning.

The handoff place was about a ten-minute walk from the log house, just where the anti-monster barrier, which centered on the house, came to an end. If she took one step outside of it, she risked being attacked by a monster.

Yet as Felicia stood right on the edge, she felt no nervousness or anxiety. She was used to it, for one thing...but more importantly, there was literally nothing in front of her, let alone a monster. All she saw was a black void.

In other words, this was both the edge of the barrier and the edge of the world.

The pitch-black expanse was unnerving to look at, but she was used to that as well. She stood still, gazing into it.

Just then, the space she was looking into began to shift. There was a slight ripple in it, which continued and grew more obvious.

The space distinctly warped, and in the next instant, a forest like the one she was standing in appeared where nothing should have been. There was also a single figure standing there.

Anyone who didn’t know what that person was must not have been from this world. Blond hair, golden eyes—only one race was allowed to bear those colors.

It was an elf.

“You’re right on time again.”

“Of course I am. I have a lot of things to do. If I were late to this, it would impact the rest. With that said, let’s get this over with. Here’s your stuff.”

The elf man—Joseph—tossed a bag through the portal. It wasn’t very big; it was small enough for her to easily carry without holding it in both arms.

Someone seeing it for the first time wouldn’t have known what to think. Felicia had felt the same at first, in fact. She’d wondered how a month’s worth of food was supposed to fit in there.
