Broken Star Sea, the westernmost side of the Celebes Islands.
This vast sea area, spanning three hundred kilometers in width, serves as a buffer zone between human wizards, non-mainstream path extraordinaries, and the inner layer of the Broken Star Islands shrouded by "War Fog".
The dozens of islands scattered within are also habitats for many indigenous people, whose danger is not that high, and even humanoid extraordinary creatures. Some have resided here for generations, while others have been gradually driven here by wizards.
On a small island within the buffer zone that does not even have a name.
A group of breezy, lightly-dressed girls, each holding a coarse clay pot, walked along the forest path. The pots were filled with fresh water just drawn from a spring in the mountains, the only safe freshwater source on the island.
