Sitting on top of a knob of the Ruvana mountain, Jimin was spacing out while the sun was about to set in the west.

He was looking towards the city where he lives.

Ruvana, a small city in the west part of Seoulvenia, also known as "The city of slaves".

Most of the times people from defeated nations are brought here to sell them as slaves. Some commoners under huge debt who can never pay them back, sell themselves or their families to survive and thus become slaves, the offsprings of slaves are born slaves;  they are also brought here in Ruvana. Selling and buying slaves is a huge market here. It's a place where the slaves are not considered as human beings.

After being sold they are assigned under different lords. These lords are usually nobles with the lowest social rankings among aristocrats. They buy the slaves and later give them selective labours to perform, and earn from using them as tools for the lifetime.


Jimin often comes to the Ruvana mountain which is a 15 minutes walk from the main city. He comes here to escape from his reality, where he is bound to a life that does not allow him to even breathe without permission. He comes here to have some time of his own.

Looking at his city, he kept realising how small his world is.

Houses so densely built that there is almost no space between them, small alleys, highest of 3/4 storey buildings, which are so old that it feels like they will fall flat any moment now.

Looking at them and thinking about his life, Jimin could only let out long sighs.
The suffocated feeling in his heart, the chain around his neck, he wanted to just throw them off as far as he can. But at that moment he couldn’t do anything about it. He knew it, and the realisation of that made him more and more angry. To the point, he could feel his throat burning like fire.

'I will get out of this fucking place. I will...'


The vibrating phone in his pocket brought him back to sense. Jimin realised he was spacing out while it was already dark around him.

He clumsily pulled out his phone from his pocket, and saw it was Hoseok who was desperately trying to contact him.
