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 ran searched around the Main District for some time, menu in hand. The menu was undeniable proof that Letha was nearby, but where exactly did she go? Lied was sure he should have seen her somewhere.


Lied eventually left the Main District, leaving the noisy and crowded place behind. He looked into the sky before staring at the moon.


Perhaps he could use magic to try and find where Letha was. He walked as he started thinking through the spells he memorised. Normally, he had a book that kept records of spells he had discovered and learnt, but without the book, his options were limited.


Lied patted his back, no feeling of a bag anywhere. He tried remembering where he had left his bag, and the most obvious answer seemed to be back in that city. The bag most likely got crushed along with the wall when the monster attacked, meaning his book was left in rubble.


Lied pulled out a white stone from his pocket. He would usually keep a few stones somewhere just in case.
