Erik came out of the jungle onto the windswept beach, his boots sinking into the soft sand and leaving mud prints on it.
He sighed.
[Wow, someone's feeling extra dramatic today! Want me to check if the sky is still up there too?] the system said.
The ocean lay in front of him. The waves hit the beach over and over. He had spent days walking along the coast and searching inside the forest, looking for any clues about where his friends had landed.
[I bet they are…]
Something then caught his eye in the distance.
In front of Erik were what looked like large depressions in the sand. They were too regular to be natural.
The system paused a little to examine the impressions.
