The night wind was hitting me. Even if the city looked different, the nice feeling of the wind and the sight of people going back and forth did not. I had often left this place, but my disorderly hometown fit me the best. No matter how much time passed, the character of the people living here stayed the same. Careless, crude, and a mixture of villains and virtuous people. Exactly the way I liked it. I liked going to remote villages, and uninhabited wastelands also had their charm, but…-

“Hmph… Then let’s see what you’ve learned from this short back and forth.” Nargava calmly approached Nick again. Karan was about to jump forward, before Nick signaled with his eyes for her to step down. “Nick…” “Leave it to me.” And then, they traded fists once again. “Guh…!” In just a brief second, a clear difference became visible. Nick was thrown back several meters, as his partners looked on, perplexed.…

Much like the first time they met, Nargava appeared before Nick in the blink of an eye, and the speed with which he approached Nick sent a shiver down his spine. With much more pressure in his fist than one would imagine, Nargava swung at Nick, who managed to block this time. “Heavy!?” “Seryah!” But his punches, kicks, and elbows were on another level in terms of skill and weight. Much like Nick, he was the type of human that could go toe-to-toe with a monster with his…

They landed in a wide atrium. “This was a laundry facility before it went out of business. The manager had an affair with one of the washerwomen, and ran away with her in the dead of night. The business was finished, but the building itself was too old and no one was willing to buy it. You can rest assured that no one’s here, and no one will care no matter how much of a mess we make.” It was completely deserted, just like Nick said. All that was left was the witch cauldron-like big…

Going back a little. When Nick started the briefing session in Sea Anemone, Sem explained what he saw and heard in the abandoned area, and his theories that came from that. “Nargava is Stepping Man.” Redd and Ada were taken aback. “But he seems like such a respectable man, from what I’ve heard…” “I heard he’s charitable to the poor too.” But the members of Survivors had a different reaction. “Karan, Nick, aren’t you…

“What!?” Yelled Nick after hearing what Sem had to say. “A lot of parts are based off conjecture but… I don’t think it’s wrong.” Tianna, Bond, and Scott were quiet and looked uneasy. There was no room for doubts. “By the way how did it go with you Nick?” “I’m ready. I have enough to counter Stepping Man.” Nick strongly nodded. “Training went well, and I came up with something interesting.” “Came up?”…

“So Scott, someone asked you to keep an eye on this place?” “Yeah.” Everyone put down their weapons, and Scott started speaking. After learning the situation, the grave keeper glared at them while angrily yelling ‘What do you people think you’re doing in a place like this’. In the meantime, Sem finished talking to Nargava and met up with the rest. The fighting mood had vanished completely. “Someone that couldn’t be saved in the clinic was being sent straight…

“…Do you have any business in this depressing place?” Asked the timid looking man wearing rags. This was the most desolate place in the abandoned area. It was originally built as a disposal site to burn garbage, but strangely enough, it ended up being cleaner than other places. It was a wide area, and it wasn’t filled with the same graffiti you could see almost everywhere else. Yet, no one has made this place their headquarters. This would be very surprising, if not for the…

Sem and the others split further into two groups. If they took too long, it would get dark and it would be impossible to investigate. Also, the places where they put dead bodies and where they buried them were not too far from Nargava’s clinic. Surely, it would be inconvenient if they were. Sem went to talk to Nargava by himself, while Tianna and Bond headed towards where the dead bodies were kept. Sem prayed for nothing bad to happen to them, but they told him it just made them feel…
