The Pitiful City

The pitiful city, that was the name.

It was one of the major cities in the land of trapped beasts.

There were also the difficult town, the city of captivity, the death city, the dark city and so on.

There was no place with a pleasant name.

Few people knew if they were always called these horrible names, but it hardly mattered anymore.

Eighty percent of the creatures living here were all aware that this realm was like a cage.

They could never escape.

They were destined to grow old and die in this wasteland.

Most of them did not pay any attention to this reality.

They knew that even though the universe was broad and vast, they were unlikely to explore too many places.

They were like the mortals trapped on earth back in the day when it was still sealed.

They were clearly aware of the vastness of the universe, but were unable to traverse it as they wished.

Without the ability to create wormholes, it was impossible.
