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>There was to be an excursion for students of the Academy. Although it sounds dangerous, the excursion is relatively safe as instructors at any given moment will always accompany students. The instructors are some of the most prolific in Ether. Furthermore, two mages who are highly skilled in Healing Magic will ensure that students are never put in any life-threatening situations.</p>

<p>The excursion was to an Outer City that is relatively close to the forest. The goal is to expose students to the unknown and to experience the world outside the Capital. They shall stay two nights in the Outer City and observe the forest from a distance. Travelling to and fro will take two days of travel each with one stop at a Middle City to stay the night. In total, the excursion will last a week.</p>
