The last thing you remember is passing through the dark passage, after meeting with that strange ball.

Now you wake up and find yourself confined in a dark place. You can’t see anything, and to complicate matters, some weird force is blocking your perception ability. This irritates you.

But you are a hero. And heroes are great.

You press your palms against the boundary of your confinement, then you channel a bit of energy and force it upon the walls. But it does nothing.

You frown. This confinement seems stronger than it looks.

You try again, this time using half of your power. And it works.

You can feel your strength has left craters on both sides of your confinement. You ease up your mind and clear your fears. You can escape from this damn place.

You are about to try again but you are interrupted by sudden vibrations. You wish to learn what the hell is going on, so you place your ear against the wall to listen better.

The sound of the vibrations becomes stronger and stronger. It seems like something massive is approaching the area of your confinement.

You course your luck. This is surely not the best way to start your adventure.

Now with a sense of urgency, you decide to channel all your power. Your force destroys the foundations of the confinement and the entire place collapses. You find yourself outside in the open.

Your first view of this new world is unimpressive. The sky is blue, the sun is yellow, the grass is green, and everything seems awfully familiar. This is a bit disappointing.

“Hey, what is that idiot doing?!!”

You hear someone yelling in your direction. You turn around and you notice an approaching army of pigtailed female warriors riding over four legged animals. They equip themselves with different weapons, ranging from simple spikes and swords to machineguns and bazookas.

They pause their trajectory and start waving their hands. They seem to be telling you to move out of there. But it is too late.

The entire area below you shakes. Cracks appear everywhere and a terrible aura envelopes the area. Then, a small white bunny emerges from the ground, just a couple of metres away from you. It seems angry at you and you wonder why.

You actually think the creature is adorable.

You turn around and notice the faces of the female warriors turn pale as they run away in fear, much to your puzzlement.

It is then that you notice a broken carrot nearby. You probably split this carrot accidentally the moment you broke free from your confinement.

You feel sad. You are a hero. You are supposed to protect the weak and make everyone happy. And yet, with your very first trial, you ruined the carrot of an innocent rabbit.

You turn around facing the rabbit and say, “Sorry little one. I will find you a new—”

Your speech is interrupted when the rabbit in front you transforms into a ten metre monster rabbit. The new size of the rabbit completely surprise you as your vision is darkened by its towering shadow.

The rabbit grins at you and replies back.

“Me carrots?! You retard? Me no eat yuck carrots! Me eat yummy humans!”

The rabbit trusts towards you and tries to bite you. You are about to react, but the attack of the rabbit was already countered by a bazooka attack.

Standing before you, appears one of the pigtailed females. You can only see her from behind. Her hair is orange and she is riding a large black panther.

“I don’t know who you are human, but this is the first time I am seeing someone facing a rabbit without any fear, without any hesitation. That alone is enough for me to sacrifice my life for you!”

She tries to attack the rabbit again, but both her and her pet are hit and thrown away by the rabbit’s powerful counterattack. They both look defeated and are unable to stand up again.

The rabbit grins. “Two saucy humans!”

You notice the rabbit is about to attack you again, so you prepare to defend. You feel anxious because you still don’t know how to fully utilise your power. You can feel your heartbeat increasing as you try to regain your focus. But this is no time to distract yourself.

You extend both of your arms and place your palms together as you face the approaching rabbit. You concentrate. You only have once chance at this. You can’t fail.

You wait for the rabbit to be within striking distance, then you release all your power against the face of the rabbit. The resulting impact generates a large explosion, throwing you away by several metres.

You struggle to wake up as you try figure out the outcome of your attack. Then you feel relief.

You can see the disfiguration of the rabbit’s face as several teeth fall from its mouth. It rolls its eyes and wobbles around, then it loses its balance and falls on its back.

You are not sure if it still alive or death. But you are sure that your earlier attack knocked it out. Victory is yours. You have won.

“I can’t believe it?! How did you defeat that thing?”

You turn and notice the pigtail woman has already recovered and is now staring at you, her pet trailing after her. You can clearly see her beautiful face, albeit tainted by battle scars. Her breasts are well rounded, slowly wiggling as she approaches you.

“My name is Cornelia. I am one of the warriors of the Gugu Bubu Hunters group,” she pauses as she looks over the distance. “Well, I was, since it seems they have abandoned me here…”

She then looks in your eyes. “Just who are you?”

You calmly reply with a smile. “I’m a hero.”

“Just a hero eh?” She begins moving around you, inspecting you. “I’ve seen countless of heroes during my life. Countless fought. Countless died.” She pauses to lick her dry lips. “Yet, nobody of them ever dreamt of singlehandedly kill a rabbit with such relevant ease! No… I am certain that you are far greater than a hero!”

You look at her and ask, “Mind telling me about this place? I just arrived here.”

“Hmm. Figured as much. The clothes you are wearing are new to me…. But before anything else, let’s first head for the nearest city.”

You look at her weirdly. She gazes back a little irritated.

“Why giving me that look? I just risked my life for you! And as I already said, I’ve got nowhere to go now! Of course I am coming with you!”

“So, which City should we head to my Master? The City of Rising Water or the City of Broken Pillars?

She patiently awaits your answer.

The City of Rising Water. The City of Broken Pillars.
