He decides to embark on a journey to explore the world beyond Vraibleusia, hoping to find a better way of life.During his travels, Popanilla encounters various societies and cultures that are vastly different from his own. He meets people who are more advanced and civilized, as well as those who are more primitive and barbaric.
