feeling the cold water falling into his face his body and mind slowly awaken.
his awareness dimmed from exhaustion yet the life of a mercenary has put him into many trial.
his body instinctively tried to wake itself up, exhaustion pressing down on him
'huh, where am I...'
!
with his awareness almost swallowed by exhaustion but the sudden feeling of an almost alien like environment, causes him to jolt awake.
despite the unnatural weight on his body he immediately tried to get up.
THUD
cursing under his breath, under the foreign environs slowly got up.
looking around he could see a desolate corridor with no light to guide him, even the moon only seems to barely light up his surrounding.
'Who? Who am i?'
his mind is confused, where is he? Who is he and why is he here?
yet he walked through the alleyway, his body and mind conflicting one another.
walking through the corridor he slowly recognized his dilapidated and the rotting atmosphere with junk littered everywhere
'this place... is this place really Ilhim?'
slowly the mist that seems to enveloped his mind slowly faded away.
regaining the clarity of the situation he instinctively tried grabbing his weapon...
only to find nothing...
thinking fast he swiftly try grabbing something that could be used as a weapon.
yet as his mind cleared he slowly remember everything.
his name... Mason Edenworth.
yes he remember now...
anarchy, claustrophobic maze like structure, chemical agent, overwatch, janitor squad-
many fragmented information seems to passed through his mind
however one memory remain stuck
the mutilated body of two of his colleague and...
...
a Creature... something that doesn't make sense
a being that seems to mimic human, a pale body thats seems to be cloaked by the darkness.
it doesnt look like a grimm, it clearly have an Aura yet it doesnt look like a human nor even any faunus he seen.
he doesnt remember much from what happened, he know he isnt dead. yet he isnt sure how long its been or where he is as well.
the alleyway he standing feels much different compared to the sector he and his partner cleared.
walking through the decaying ruined alleyway, scanning through his surrounding for any sudden attack.
he no longer know how long he's been in this strange location, days? or even weeks?wandering through the alleyway he discovered a couple of thing.
first of all, his semblance [Mercenary instinct]. did not activate even once.
the absence of the constant danger signal for months at first seems like a relief, yet the uncanny silence of the corridor instead has become a source of anxiety.
second, the most surprising thing that he discovered so far.
his body isn't in his own.
although many feature seems to be lost he could figure out its a teenage body, approximately 16 years old.
third, although he's not sure where he is, he at least know he isn't in any sector not the one he know of at least, at first it would seems that he got lost in a sector.
a jumbling underground like structure, that go deep under the ground. becoming the den of various outlaw hiding from the law.
due to low security around sector, various criminal gang, black market, or even cul-
"im slowly going insane aren't i...
however he knew that's a lie just meant to comfort him.
he already know the truth from the start.
no matter how much he try deny such thought.
a despairing thought slowly become clearer each passing time.
"yep... fuck, im in the sewer."
