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.

Immortal Wanderer

An announcement was made in the biggest Adventurers Hall in Ether. Everyone likely saw it coming from a mile away.

"My name is Tihan, and I wish to gather a group of willing Adventurers to invade Babil. It will be a dangerous task, many will die, but believe me, we will find what we all desire!"

The Adventurer, standing in the middle of the Adventurers Hall, standing on a table, an arm raised in the air. Adventurers gathered around him, listening to him. A red-haired knight, Hilda, watched from the back of the crowd.

"What do we all desire from Babil?" Tihan continued, scanning through the crowd. "Is it fame? Is it riches? What other reason than the Book of Revival that is rumoured to lie inside the tower?"

Hilda crossed her arms, tapping her foot impatiently.
