This episode revolves around the aftermath of an unexpected incident in the castle and a fierce battle in the northern forests.

Lady Rionne orders an immediate investigation into a mysterious sword that flew through a window into the castle, suspecting it originates from a powerful source. Meanwhile, Beid reports a devastating raid in the northern forests, where only four out of twelve people survived an attack by a creature known as Skullface.

Shin is indirectly involved in both events. It turns out that he was gathering Hilk grass during the attack, and he admits encountering a terrifying skull named Jack, whom he defeated and retrieved a gem from. Celica confirms that eradicating the skull is a top priority since it is lurking near the kingdom, and she is shocked when Shin reveals the creature's unusual strength.

As the episode progresses, we learn more about Shin's abilities and his past. His casual admission of defeating a level 359 Skullface Jack surprises the council members and raises doubts about his true strength, given his new status as an adventurer. A series of interactions unfold with various characters, including Wilhelm Avis, a spearman renowned for his skills in fighting the undead.

Shin meets Wilhelm Avis, a spearman who introduces himself as a hunter of the undead. During a shared meal, Wilhelm reveals that he knows Shin due to his recent heroic deeds.

In a library, Shin researches the history of the kingdom, attempting to understand key past events and the races of the world. Meanwhile, a council discusses the implications of Skullface Jack's defeat and the possible existence of other powerful creatures.

Shin encounters Millie, a child from an orphanage, who begs for his help to rescue someone in the northern forests. Intrigued, Shin decides to investigate. In the woods, he comes across barriers and a shrine that seems central to the mysterious events. He battles golems corrupted by miasma and finds a poisoned and cursed creature, which he rescues.

The episode ends with Shin reflecting on the ramifications of the strange occurrences, including the mysterious creature he saved, which turns out to be an Elementail, a high-ranking monster. This discovery forces him to reconsider everything he knew about the game that has transformed into the reality he now inhabits.
