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.

Immortal Wanderer

The group of Gold-levelled Adventurers were almost ready to make their way towards Babil. There was just one last thing they needed to handle before they could.

Ruby stood around, her hood pulled over her head. She stood around, just looking around casually as people walked by the Main District of the Capital. Soon enough, another woman approached her. The only other woman besides Ruby to be involved in the invasion of Babil is Latifa. Latifa had a somewhat depressed and/or angsty look on her face, two sheathed daggers by her waist.

Ruby waved at her, but Latifa did not wave back.

"Let's get this over with," Latifa said, not even making eye contact with Ruby.
