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

The group of Adventurers entered Babil, led by their four leaders, Fatty, Kale, Hafuo and Lokn.

Despite having lost Yogw, they were determined to complete what they had originally set out to do: Conquer Babil.

They entered, Macky sticking with Yuu. The Adventurers were wary of anything that was out there, especially the monster Fatty was speaking of.

They had to leave their horses outside of Babil since it was unlikely the horses could get down the stairs. They carried as many supplies as they could on their backs.

The group made their way down, Fatty and Hafuo leading the way down.

The stairway felt unusually quiet, even for an underground tunnel. Weirder still, despite the stairway being underground with no sign of much ventilation, the air was not stuffy, even with fifty or so Adventurers inside.
