After arriving outside, they accessed the Map in their mind and decided to move towards the west, which was also the direction of the Inner Domain.
Of course, the inner domain was still far away, but they just decided to move in that direction.
Their route was simple:
1. Moving towards Desolate Mountains in the west to kill monsters to level up and increase their stats.
2. After passing the mountains, they would take a break at a mountain-base town based on their situation at that time and then enter Kulain Forest with a black dot on the Map that indicated an Abyss Influence in it.
3. Arriving at Lopart town after crossing Kulain Forest. Lopart town had a bigger town symbol on the Map, which indicated that it was a big town with advanced structure and magic tech.
After planning their route, they opened their reward boxes first, as they needed a weapon to make their journey easier.
Rin opened her weapon box and got a spear.
"Phew. It's good as long as it's a bladed weapon," Rin wryly smiled and inspected the spear.
[Black Jade Spear]
_Rank: Tier-1
_Grade: Rare.
_Base Attack: 200 + 150% of the user's Strength stat.
_Effect(s):
—> Jade Hold: Increase your Strength by 20 points and healing recovery by 50% as long as you have the spear in your hand.
—> Black Jade Surge: Hitting a target with the spear would give you one stack of Blade Jade Surge. Upon getting five stacks, the spear's damage will increase by 50% for ten seconds.
_Note: If you miss an attack before the stacks reach 5, the stacks will immediately reset.
The weapon was good for Rin, but Erix didn't have much luck.
"Better than nothing," Erix lightly sighed as he inspected the light brown wooden staff with red and golden patterns. Since it was a wooden staff, he couldn't use his Metal Telekinesis on it.
[Vindicator Staff]
_Rank: Tier-1
_Grade: Uncommon.
_Base attack: 70 + 100% of the user's Strength.
_Effect(s):
—> Vidicator Strike: Consume ten mana to empower your next staff strike to deal 100% extra damage and transfer your debuffs from you to your target.
"Let's get going now. We'll unlock those four idiots' hunter cards later," Erix said.
...
After three hours, Erix and Rin arrived at Desolate Mountains and took a break after finding a cave.
They reached level 28 by killing monsters.

...
So far, they hadn't encountered any monsters above level 30, but they speculated they would encounter stronger monsters while crossing the mountain.
Sitting beside each other in the cave, Erix and Rin took out four Hunter cards belonging to those four men and dropped a drop of blood on them by pricking their thumbs.
"Let's see what those idiots got in their cards," Erix said as he opened a card.
Rin also opened a card and infused a point of mana to access its storage.
After emptying all four ID cards, they sorted out their inventory.
-> 11x Water Pouches, containing two liters of water in each pouch.
-> Vegetables: 5x Carrots, 4x Cabbages, 6x Onions.
-> Food: 6x Sweet Buns, 1x Seasoned Meat Steak.
-> 4x Meat Talismans: slapping it on a recently dead creature will produce a clean and high-quality 1-kilogram meat slab of that creature.
"Where are their weapons?" Erix frowned in confusion. "They didn't have their weapons wielded in the town, so they should have them in the card's inventory, no?"
"Indeed," Rin nodded as she was also confused.
But their confusion was cleared up soon.
[The last wielded weapon by individuals is automatically bound to them in their origin region.]
"Good for others," Rin clicked her tongue in annoyance.
"Let's eat two buns and see how they taste," Erix took out two Sweet Buns and gave one to Rin.
"It's not bad," Rin nodded after taking a bite.
"Quells the hunger, so it's fine," Erix shrugged.
After eating, Rin put her head on Erix's lap.
"Darling~"
"Yes?"
"I love you."
Erix smiled and kissed her. "I love you too."
"It's good that we are together," Rin said with a peaceful expression.
"Good indeed," Erix chuckled. "I wouldn't mind living in hell as long as we are together."
"But I want heaven right now," Rin said while licking her lips as she softly touched Erix's crotch.
"Well, me too," Erix grinned as he pulled down Rin's dress from the shoulder, causing her plump yet tender breasts to pop out.
"I want it inside first," Rin stood up and sat down on his lap after pulling down his pants and inserting Erix's cock into her pussy.
Afterward, she just sat on it and buried Erix's face into her ample bosom.
"Suck them hard."
"As you wish, my queen," Erix licked up lips, looking at the erect pink nipples, and opened his mouth before putting one in his mouth and massaging the other with his left hand.
His rock-hard cock was twitching inside her contracting pussy while they took pleasures from other sources, like Rin having her breasts and nipples sucked and Erix savoring them to the fullest.
After that, they had a lot of sex for two hours before departing the cave and continuing their journey.
