Chapter 164: Going
"There it is." Lake had been starting to worry about Having gone the wrong way because the map had a town on it and he had thought he should have already been to it by now. That being said he had no plans on stopping here because he was currently traveling through a battlefield. The town was little more than a ruin from what he could see so there was no point in stopping.

Lake had finally reached the capital wall, this was the first big thing on the map but he didn't think he was going to have any problems getting through because the gate had been destroyed. It was wide open so he just ran straight through and as soon as he did he saw where he was headed.
The map had his goal as a mountain range and it was so large he could see it from here. That being said it was really far away so he didn't know if he was going to be able to reach it today or not. The line on the map said he had about 3/4 of the trip to go still and it had taken him about four hours to get here so that meant he had another 12 hours to go.
It was fine either way; he had no problems sleeping outside tonight if he started to get tired before he got there.
...
After a while Lake passed the first village he had seen since leaving the capital wall. It, like all the others had been burned down and it made Lake wonder why they were burning buildings. He was sure there was a reason but it seemed like a waste of time to destroy wooden buildings unless you were doing it for fun.
It wasn't like they could really be used as a base by your enemies so there wasn't a reason in his mind so he thought maybe he was right about them doing it for fun. Lake stopped staring at the village and started running again and after passing a few more burned villages he finally found something big enough to be called a town.
It seemed once you were outside the capital wall the frequency of towns and such increased. Lake wondered if it had something to do with it being less safe out here so people didn't like to travel as far or sleep outside in a makeshift camp so the towns ended up being closer together.
Once he was satisfied they wouldn't fall out he activated Burst. After taking a few steps Lake started to slowly pick up speed until he was going at his normal running speed and then slowly increased it further. After about ten steps Lake stopped and looked back at the cloud of dust he was kicking up.
Normally his top speed was around 236 agility, whatever speed that was, and he was pretty sure he had only increased it by 20 or 30 points there and the difference was crazy. The sound his feet were making when they hit the ground was like the biggest slapping sound ever and like he had suspected going that fast wasn't a good idea for him just yet because he was unable to process what was happening in front of him quick enough to react.
Thankfully the road was pretty smooth so it didn't really matter where he put his feet as he ran but he could see himself tripping over something or missing a turn. Getting his boots back on Lake resigned himself to the next eight hours of running and went ahead and started running again without using Burst.
...
The sun had gone down hours ago but Lake had just kept going. He didn't want to have to get up tomorrow and get right back to running so he had decided to push through and make it to the mountains today and it was almost over because he was now close enough to see the base of the mountain where he could see lights.
He was pretty sure they were fires and as he got closer he knew he was right because he could see people camping around a giant gate set in between two mountains. He wasn't sure if there being other people here was a good thing for him or not but he was sure it would make it easier for him to find a place to sleep that wasn't the ground.
He didn't have anything like a sleeping bag so a pile of leaves would have been the best he could do. After thinking about it more he wondered if he would be able to summon his bed from his room back at the guild if he was to try.
He had definitely held it before as he used it so he guessed it would be worth a try if he ever really needed a bed he was just worried all he had technically touched was the sheet and never the mattress but he was pretty sure it would work like how it did when he summoned a box of something. The sheet being the box and the mattress being the contents.
Getting into the camp after taking a few minutes to make sure it would be safe from a distance, Lake started to look around and noticed the gate was closed for the day and the first thing he wondered was when it would start letting people through again. Hopefully it was an early morning thing and he wouldn't have to wait half the day because he didn't sleep for very long which meant he would be just sitting here awake till he could go through.
After looking around the camp for a while Lake found there were really only three groups and he just chose the biggest one and tried to integrate into it. Sitting at one of the fires he just sat quietly and listened to the old man who was telling everyone else about his wife. Lake could tell by the way the man sounded his wife was dead but he couldn't tell if it was recent or not.
He did find out though when the man said her passing was what had caused him to leave the Metal Domain in the first place and how he had never planned to come back but now that the war had destroyed the house he had bought there was no reason for him to stay here either. Lake decided to move after he could feel his mood take a hit because of this old man's ramblings and was able to find a better place to sit next to a different fire.
