Cid embarked on his lonely journey towards the lawless city. He had left his secluded mountain home and the company of Alpha, Zeta, and Epsilon to explore The Lawless City, notorious for its lawlessness and danger, held secrets and the Gold he needed.

The journey was boring and uneventful until he entered a dense forest that is close to the border of the Lawless City. As he walked through the thick underbrush, he suddenly felt the presence of multiple figures closing in on him.

Cid's eyes narrowed as he sensed the bandits hiding in the shadows. He counted at least a dozen, their auras filled with malicious intent. Without hesitation, he drew his ebony blade without changing to shadow and prepared for the inevitable attack.

'They might already saw me as 'Cid' it might be troublesome to change to Shadow..' Thinking to himself with carefree expression even with the trouble closing on him.

"Look what we have here, boys," one of the bandits sneered, stepping into view. "A lone traveler. Easy pickings."

Cid remained silent. As the bandits charged at him, he moved with deadly precision. His blade danced and freely through the air, cutting down his attackers with fast, lethal strikes. Within moments, the forest floor was littered with the bodies of the fallen but leaving one bandit alive.

The remaining bandit grovel down in fear on what has transpired. A single teenager managed to cut through all of his allies with swift.

"Please.. Spare me!" A bandit yelled and kneeling down on the forest floor.

"Hmm.. Do you have golds with you? if you tell me i might spare you.."  Cid spoke with carefree tone and easygoing expression.

"Might? We don't have treasures with us during a raid. I could tell you where is it. so just spare me." a groveling bandit continues.

"Do you really have a choice? tell me now." A hint of impatient can be heard with his tone.

"Our base is deep within the Lawless City, i could help yo-" 

Without wasting a single second his head is immediatly cut off and flying through the air before stumbling down on a nearby rock.

Cid Dashing through the forest with much faster pace than before, few seconds passed he reached the lawless city and climbed up the crimson tower he once destroyed.. Looking down at the city.

As Cid approached the Lawless City, the atmosphere grew tense. The city's skyline was a chaotic mix of old buildings, some building are still destroyed due to the event of the Red Moon and flickering neon signs. The streets were filled with thieves, bandits and much more.

"Uhhh i shouldve made him finish telling me where their base is before killing him, now i dont know where is it." looking down at the people like a lost lamb.

Cid moved through the city, his presence unnoticed by most people. He observed the city's inhabitants thieves, mercenaries, and other people, each going about their business with an air of wary vigilance.

"I guess i should get money while im here" 

Using his skills, Cid stealthily picked the pockets of several thieves, gathering a significant amount of money. His movements were so smooth that none of his targets even realized they had been robbed.
