A month went by in a flash.

During those thirty days, Craig had thrown himself entirely into stabilizing the Myrain Viscounty, laying down a solid administrative bedrock and heavily reinforcing the territory's defensive forces.

A month prior, the grand festival hunt had yielded far more than mere sport.

A full quarter of the Jeju Forest had been cleared of low-tier threats, systematically purging the woods of lingering 1st-Tier Abominations.

Most notably, the entirety of the local Red-Scaled Deer population—beasts that had long plagued the outer fringes—were thoroughly hunted, slaughtered, and dragged from the depths of the C-Level Danger Zone straight down to the processing grounds at Old Valley.
