Prologue
The boy shielded his eyes from the force of the opposing wind. The rain continued to beat onto his shoulders mercilessly.
"What the hell's with this sudden storm?!" he thought. "I mean I can stand the rain but this is just ridiculous!" "Is it possible that the weather control ars malfunctioned? That's unusual….."
His crimson hair turned deep black, his clothes felt like it weighed a hundred pounds, and the ground turned into mud that reaches his ankles that clung to him like extremely desperate beggars. This situation is truly the worst.
"Dammit, I have to find that household!" he thought furiously. "I'm already behind schedule to deliver that letter," he continued while clinging onto his waterproof sling bag. He walked and walked through the path made of sludge…..but he couldn't see two meters in front of him. What seems to await him is just a continuous mud road decorated with a grey background. "This is hopeless, I have to get my bearings, I can't see crap in this storm."
He looked around the area desperately for a good vantage point. And then he found it.
"Ah, that looks like a good spot," he thought gleefully while looking at a cliff that ends at sharp end of a precarious cliff. After slowly reaching to the end he looked down only to see a dark abyss waiting for him.
"Whoa, that is one big drop." The boy stepped back in surprise. "Better be careful not to slip."
He then narrowed his eyes to look throughout the land to the horizon, or rather a large patch of gray from the onslaught of fat rain drops.
As soon as he sighed with disappointment, he saw small noticeable dots of light. "Aha! That has to be it! The household!" he said with joy. "Now I'll have to find another route to there..."
As he turned back a long streak of white light struck the ground in front of him followed by a loud crash that roared throughout the heavens.
The shock of the sudden event made the boy lose his footing and without realizing what has happened, he fell... into the dark abyss that swallowed him whole.
