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

<p>Ruby's gaze slowly shifted throughout the entire scene. There was a strange girl squatting near a glowing orb. Latifa was where Ruby had left her, lying down on the ground and not moving. Ruby was unsure whether or not Latifa was dead. The Nine-tailed Fox had done a temporary retreat, prowling along the walls, keeping its eyes on Ruby. However, everywhere she looked, there was one constant. Her followers were either dead or hurt.</p>

<p>The most obvious was the large group of dead bodies near the young girl. She had her arms spread out and her eyes shut tight. Ruby stared at the dead bodies on the ground.</p>
