Title : The Abandoned Land
Description:
“Well, I thought today was going to be just another day of the week. Little that I known today mark the day that changed the way I live my life.”
“That sentence may seem too exaggerating coming from me. But an extreme expression suits an extreme condition, don’t you think so?”
The world we live in look quite mundane, but who knows that in this world, there are also gates to another world. Zerdow, an average college student, is drawn into one of this world by accident, or is it? The world where strange creatures live and where magic become a reality. In this world, he held the role of "The one this land awaits". Follow his adventure and meeting against many character there.
Character:
Zerdow (Main Protagonist)
"My name is Zerdow I don’t have a last name. Don’t ask me why. I’ve asked the same thing once when I was still a little boy and my mother answer is that "it is much easier this way"."
Koharu Kojima
"I am not used to sit on the chair. And I am just another employee in this mansion. It is improper for to me sit on the same level as an honored guest such as yourself."
Scarlet
"Don’t’ slack off now, the flowerbeds need to be taken care properly. It’s almost their season to bloom."
Dante Shautfell Carollo
"As I said before, I’m not like that at all. What is up with people making up a crazy story like that?"
Tyrus Zigward
"My bat and my eyes can only see what is skin deep. Matter that’s personal or related to one’s mind is hard to be investigated. It doesn’t mean I can’t do it."
Celena von Ricksthon
"Yes, but beside taking care soldier, they have knowledge in how to make medicine from local plant. I think the two of them can give a lot of help"
Veronica von Grishorn
"Yes, good morning. This is my daily routine. I do this daily to prevent my technique getting rusty."
