Might not be a time skip. It was established just within this chapter that time flows differently in the forest. They were in there for what felt like 4 hours, but was just a second or 4 outside. Two years in the forest may be only an hour or a day outside.
Doesn't count as a time skip if only the character moves forward but the world doesn't its similar to compressed time training i.e. dangai precipice world or Room of Spirit and Time
that guy really loves making stupid jokes...either that or he really did sleep for 2 years but cause of time f*** forest he'll get back like 2 minutes after he left...
Congratulations, Seth. You're the second character I've read about recently that got "rebirthed" somehow by some supernatural woman putting you back in the oven to reheat. Outside of porn I mean, that's probably its own tag on other sites.
