What if magic was real? What if monsters swarmed the Earth? What if people from another world moved in right next door? What if Hell spat out everything it had, and Heaven came to combat it?
Well, everything would be chaos in any of those cases, but...
(Sorry guys, I wasn't entirely sure on what to put for this chapter, so I apologise if it feels a bit forced in any way)
Y/n walked away towards his own district, since it was nearby, he decided to start whistling a little tune once he got to the workers district
As he walked through the miners, the builders, and The Den, he soon found himself within the inner walls
"Cold, the air and water flowing. Hard, the land we call our home. Push, to keep the dark from coming."
"Feel the weight of what we owe!" He sang along to the laborers tune "this, the song of sons and daughters, hides the heart of who we are. Making peace, to build our future. Strong united, working, till we fall!" He sang with the workers as he passed by, hammers striking, and metal grinding.
"And we ALL lift! And we're all in this together! Together.... Through the cold mists! Till we're lifeless together! Together..."
He sang along to their hymn as he soon approached his home in the shady outskirts of the outermost wall
It was a small apartment made of wood, nearly being able to be called a shack
He worked in a heavy construction area, right by the border, where things were more rundown and in disrepair, heavy machinery was going nearly 24/7, and crime was rampant, even with the protection of a few Hunter and Adventurer guilds, but he still couldn't say it wasn't home
As he walked by the construction near his home, he began to hear shouting from the workers. It appears that the machines were going haywire
As it appears, there happened to be a woman underneath the machinery
"Look out!" Y/n shouted as he leaped towards the nameless woman, grabbing her and tackling her to the ground, out of the way of the collapsing machinery and falling debris
The equipment soon after slammed into the ground, probably having crushed her if it wasn't for his good timing
"Are you alright?..." he asked to the dazed, pink haired woman as she simply stared at his eyes
"Miss?..." he simply held her in his arms as her face flushed a light shade of pink
"Thank you..." was all she said as she got up and hurriedly walked away
"Huh, what was that about?..." Y/n simply shrugged his shoulders, and left, entering his home
Time skip, your POV, outside the border to pick herbs
"Huh, I thought it was here last I checked." I was outside the walls, picking some medicinal herbs in order to have ingredients for medicine and potions, since I am practicing for the alchemist exam
It isn't going well though, as it appears that most of the good spots seem to be picked clean, or have been torn to pieces by something.
Something about that though...it seems a bit...off...
It's fine to be outside the barrier as of now since there are knights and adventurers out and about, so the monster subjugation has been mostly dealt with, I even managed to see someone familiar. Albeit, they were covered from head to toe in blood and even some dried monster flesh from the blistering sun.
