In a big tree a young man with Dark hair and blue eyes was mischievously staring at a young girl from the ground.
although the tree wasn't big but with so many lush green leaf surrounding this young man it seems as if he have a comauflouge.
the girl was laughing with three of her friends. her short gold hair could be seen as she was back facing the young man's peripheral vision he could only see a beautiful side face of her.
"How was it?" the girl with gold hair asked.
hearing her question the young man in front of her blushed slightly his face turning red.
then suddenly a soft elbow strike landed on his side rib making him fall to the ground.
a red haired young girl was staring at him her red eyes full of anger.
the young man with blue hair looked at her confused, "Aina, what did I do?"
Aina, the girl with red hair pouted turning her back towards him. but in the corner of her eyes she was watching him.
The golden hair girl laugh sweetly making the almost awkward atmosphere become a bit warm.
"Yei! stop laughing!" Aina angrily said. her face full of embarrassment.
"But.. but haha Aina why did you do that to Michael? Haha." Yei couldn't hold back her laughter as she gazes on both of her best friends.
it has been a year. I wonder how he was doing?
the said person? he was up there on the tree watching them like a stalker.
"Humph!"
Seeing them laugh The young man at a tree branch grunted his eyes full of jealousy and anger as he stared at the blue haired young man.
it's been a year. originally the four of them were very close. you could say that they were childhood friends.
growing at the City of Lysabel there were approximately 200,000 people living in this place.
surrounded by tall steel walls and watch towers it was pretty safe as they were at layer 23 of the shattered realm.
it was said each layer of our realm was divided with various cities like in our Layer we have the city of 'Lysabel' and on Layer 24 we have the city of 'Thorn Wood' with both cities maintaining contact with each other. it became easier for us to get resources from the outside world.
Yes! the outside world!
only 'Walkers' could go out and explore the outside world. based on our history books The World shouldn't have any Layer or for short it should only have one Layer.
but after the catastrophe thousands of years ago half of Humanity perished, diseases started to run amongst us as Mysterious creatures started appearing around the world.
suddenly a small bird landed on a branch near him.
this jolted him awake from his memories as he simultaneously look at this small white bird.
both of them stared at each other for sometime.
it was as if the small white bird was asking him,
'Why are you here?!'
the young man shifted his gaze upon taking a closer look he saw a bunch of green leaves rolled into a ball on top of it a small not noticeable opening could be seen.
realisation struck him.
the small white bird seeing this big human in her dark bead eyes not leaving she suddenly chirped.
chirp! chirp! chirp!
flying around the young man she used her small beak to shoo away the intruder.
but this intruder in her eyes were quite strong as he used his hands to shoo her away instead.
the two stop in a deadlock seeing this. the small white bird smirked flying upwards.
seeing the white bird flying away the young man sighed in relief.
but before he could continue his thoughts a white snow warm thing fell onto his head making his hair have dozens of small white spot and also the big white mountain on his head.
'Damn bird!'
the young man angrily left not wanting to get more bird poop spread on him.
silently climbing down he could smell the small bird poop using his nose.
it smell like poop yes a poop.
'Just wait and rejoice you damn bird! I will also throw my poop in you!'
Lysabel City was quite big as many pedestrians could be seen walking on the road the tall building from afar makes it looks like a modern city of ancient times alike.
The young man with dark hair and blue eyes was slowly walking on the side walk, after washing his hair on a public restroom for an hour he finally removed those thing.
also after sneaking away on the tree he felt quite bad on himself. asking 'What am I even doing watching that damn girl?!'
well what really happened 1 year ago?
to make the long story short... he got dumped. yes! dumped.
after confessing his love onto the girl named Yei he also takes the aptitude examination to a become Walker.
as he just turned 18 that year. alas both times he have bad luck he failed.
and those three of his childhood friends became walker instead. he felt left out thats why he feel Ashamed just showing his face there were other reasons too.
looking up from the clear blue skies. the artificial sun was quite hot today having 30 degrees Celsius. people come and go by his side. it was quite crowded today.
as various vehicles on the road went past them, the loud chattering in the streets slowly vanished.
wandering aimlessly in this big city he felt quite lost.
since young he have a great ambition. born in a humble family of three he was proud to be born as a son of a walker. but after his Dad who is a walker disappeared his dream intensified at that point in time.
as if he believes that his Father was still alive just joining the ranks of Walkers to protect the city and also to find his father was a great dream of his.
but reality have other plan for him.
he failed on both love and dream.
at some point in time he arrived at an alleyway.
trash could be seen littering around his surroundings as pungent smelling things surrounded him.
confused at first. he walked around for a bit.
'this must be the slums.'
'slums' it was a densely populated area around our city. people living here some of them were ex convicts, some were criminals well people think that those whose near the walls were dangerous.
based on the history of our Lysabel city when the 10th year arrives a horde of monsters could be seen attacking this place making it really chaotic both the Army of Lysabel and the Walkers could be seen here pack like ants guarding this place because near this place a giant Door were erected.
it was said that those doors were made because our ancestors were as big as those doors.
some says it was dangerous if you're alone in those kinds of place.
but who is he? he was Hu Bai he wasn't scared or anything.. because he already failed in some things he deemed more important than himself why be scared?
looking from afar he could see the tall giant steel wall as he look up he couldn't see its top as white clouds were circling it.
"he.. hey"
suddenly a meek voice sounded behind him making his head turned towards his back.
it was a small girl around ten years old. wearing brown tattered clothes around her body her watery eyes were looking at Hu Bai both her hands clutched into a praying position on the center of her chest.
walking towards her Hu Bai crouched down in front of her.
"What are you doing here all alone little girl?"
he asked. well seeing this girl a strange feeling was welling up in his heart. is it pity?
well why did he asked a question that everyone already knew? it was his last thought as his vision slowly turned darker and darker as weakness overwhelmed him he suddenly fall on the ground.
the ground was full of dirt. the hard concrete was cold and the feeling of pain he expected after falling didn't appear.
his thoughts was jumbled like paper. he couldn't think of anything straight.
the last thing he saw was the ten year old girl giving him a smirk as she turned around.
Dozens or so footsteps were ringing in his ears as he tried to reach out towards her feet that was walking away.
