Sumdud

Hey, have you heard of a rumour floating around recently?

I heard that there’s this girl walking around, weird, right? She walks and just goes around the place, no one knows who she is, no one knows where she came from. Hell, I don’t think even she knows the answers.

But oddly enough, she never seems to age, does she? Of all the dragons, dwarves, elves everywhere, there’s a simple tale passed down from generation to generation.

Of a girl that does not age.

But...

How did it all start? In this fantasy world, how did this person come to be?

A world where humans isolate themselves within their walls, wary of the monsters that lie outside. A world of magic, a world of fantasy, but nothing seems carefree nor fun.

Dating back to one of the greatest disasters known to humanity, the disaster where many deaths were witnessed, life was made.

Living eternally, forever wandering about the world. Monsters do not attack her, no sickness plagues her, and time becomes irrelevant. Wandering from village to village, eventually, she comes across a group of excited people.

'Hey, take us out to the unknown, we want to see the world!'

This is a tale of finding the meaning of life in a world where nothing seems to go anyone's way.

*(Notice: The first part of the story is a backstory. If you don't really like the theme of the backstory, I understand if you just don't read it.)

Immortal Wanderer

Lied woke up and sat up on the bed, rubbing his face. His head was bandages, and so were his arms and right leg.


To the bed next of him, Desmond laid there, completely immobile.


Lied got off the bed, feeling much better. The monster attack had caught them by surprise, and the city was on high alert.


With the wall being broken, it was difficult to tell if it was safe.


Besides that, Lied was unable to get the Monster's face out of his head. The twisted face as it smiled.


The young adventurer shivered when he thought back on it.


He had thought that humanity had caught up with the power of those monsters, but in the end, it was obvious that they were nowhere close.


He walked into a living room of a cozy house. At the dining table, there was a man who was reading the newspaper.


"You shouldn't be out of bed," The man told Lied, getting up.
