A black mass loomed on the horizon. His blue eyes remained trained on it as he approached. It slowly grew from a small speck into a large city with decaying buildings and streets littered with abandoned cars. He took his time walking through it, as there was nothing better to do.
The towers were extremely modern, but holes marred their sparkling glass surfaces. Paper, shards from broken windows, and other debris were scattered on the pavement and sidewalks. Some of the wall bore torn posters and graffiti. Shops had obviously been broken into a looted repeatedly.
Casshern gazed upon his surroundings and imagined what the city looked like back in its day, when it was unbroken and filled with people.
It was such a shame to see something with the potential for so much beauty being slowly destroyed and corroded by the elements.
Apparently robots and humans weren't the only ones suffering from the Ruin.
At that thought, Casshern frowned with the realization that he was at least partly responsible for the harm that had befallen this city.
Ohji had once told him that human cities were hard to find. The planet used to be filled with them. But, due to Braiking Boss's attempt at human genocide, almost all of them were wiped out.
Finding this battered treasure was a rare gift, indeed.
