The Legacy of the Fallen [16][Edited]

"Ugh," I groaned as I woke up to find myself in yet another unfamiliar scene.

What the hell happened this time?

Blinking rapidly, I tried to adjust my vision, but everything was a blur. Slowly, my surroundings came into focus. I was in… a village?

Everywhere I looked, there were houses—but not the kind you'd find in a normal town. These were ramshackle structures, the kind you'd expect to see in a slum.

"Where is this place?" I muttered aloud, only to realize I wasn't alone.

No, not just one person.

A crowd.

"How did I get here?" someone shouted.

"Where's Jenny?" another cried.

"Damn it! I left my weapons in that cave!"

"Shit! I didn't even eat my share of the food!"

"Where the hell are we?!"

The cries and confusion grew into a chaotic frenzy. It was clear no one had any clue how they'd ended up in the middle of this decrepit village.

"Silence, mortals!"
