Despite using all the knowledge from his past life to prepare, not everything could unfold perfectly as planned.

‘I can’t die here.’

It wasn’t that he had never run away in his life. He wasn’t averse to the idea of retreating when necessary.

Sometimes, retreating to seek the next opportunity is part of a greater strategy.

If he were to die, his family and estate would ultimately meet the same destruction as in his previous life.

Wasn’t enduring the hardship of venturing into the Forest of Beasts all about preventing that grim future?

That’s why he absolutely couldn’t die here.
