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

Verxy began chanting a spell. Akuji pulled Lily behind him while Latifa stood in front of them. She kept her daggers in front of her as she faced the monster. The fox had teeth and claws sharp enough to rip them to shreds without any difficulty. It was fast enough to catch up to them even if they decided to turn back and run. Even if they were to fend it off, there was still the Grand Mage waiting for them.

It was an almost impossible situation.

Latifa remembered the numerous treasures that were gathered on the top floor. Perhaps there was something that could help them get out of the situation.

A blast of water shot out from where Verxy was. The Nine-tailed Fox easily dodged it and lunged at them. Latifa instinctively swung her blades up, knocking the fox into the air. She yelled at Akuji and Lily, "Run for it!"

Akuji helped Lily run through the door.
