flashback
underground city
hidden below the marleyan capital of liberio, lay the underground city—a filthy, forsaken world, far across the ocean and beyond the towering walls of paradis island. this abyss emerged in the aftermath of the eldian empire's collapse, a consequence of marley's rise to global domination following the great titan war (unknown - c. 743).
eldians deemed unworthy, abandoned by their own, were doomed to fester in this pit of squalor, forced to endure lives of exploitation and discrimination. branded as the devils of paradis for the sins of their ancestors, they were stripped of dignity and reduced to mere instruments of marleyan vengeance, remnants of a war that refused to be forgotten.
to those imprisoned in this wretched underbelly, the surface was a myth, a faraway world where sunlight kissed the earth, where the sky stretched endlessly.
but down there? it was a graveyard of twisted alleyways and suffocating dead ends. where generations were born, lived and perished without ever glimpsing the heavens. daylight was nothing more than a whispered fable. morality decayed. dreams crumbled. and survival came at a cost too steep for the soul to bear.
levi was no exception.
his earliest years unfolded in the fragile sanctuary of a brothel, under the care of his mother, kuchel ackerman. she had little to offer but herself, yet she gave him everything. against the unforgiving darkness that consumed the underground, kuchel had been a solitary light, wrapping levi in what little warmth she could muster, shielding him from the claws of despair that sought to pull them both under.
she was his entire world. the only one who had ever truly loved him.

"levi."
the sound of his name tore the young boy's focus from the thin sliver of sunlight daring to creep through the fractured stone above. it wasn't much of a window, just a stubborn crack that refused to shut out the world beyond.
