The break of 17. A very memorable momment for the youths of that age. Out having fun with their friends, adventure , enjoyment amd all of the above.
However, there were some youths who prefered to spend this time alone.
Taking a look at our current main character, Dominic seats alone, lying back and relaxing inside the academic city's largest indoor pool. With slides reaching up to a devestating height of 185m, families and friends gather to enjoy the thrilling journey down one of the world's largest slides.
People crowded and gathered within rubber tubes of air, shaped in large circles with holes for one to seat in. Going down together into a gigantic funnel with water constantly guzzing around like a whirlpool.
The single tallest slide, only meant for the bravest of the brave was meant for only a single person. Without a tube like structure, just an ordinary slide down with various twists and turns. Ensuring that it was safe with the application of the laws of physics. Or barely safe.
The queue was rather short for such a thrilling ride, as thoese below the STR of 5000 were bared from entering.
To the suprise of the people in the surroundings, Dominic entered through the measuring system alongside muscular body figures.
It was at a height of 185m baring to coldness of the atmosphere, Dominic went down the slide. It was extremely long and fast. He could see the surroundings, a birds-eye view of the entire area. And then again, this felt rather boring. Halfway through, Dominic jumped off the ride.
He landed into the pool safely, and got out back to the changing rooms.
"Boring" was what he thought.
He should go out and see the world.
After bathing, he made his way back. Towards a certain hooded man in a certain back alley.
"So what do you have on the star and the pentagram?" Dominic asked.
"Well, from what I know, they appear to be a cult determined to meet with the ultimate evil. And using that, they intend on taking control over some part of the holy land, where angels live." came the reply.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
"And it appears that your sister would distrup their plans, according to some crazed prophet over there" he said once more.
A transaction of a few thousand was made.
"So where are they?" Dominic asked.
The information broker shrugs.
"Actually, is there anything fun going on?" Dominic asked.
"Well, there's alot of things you can do that are pretty fun you know?" the information broker smiles.
"This'll be free" he continues.
"At the west side, near a town called Jentsy, a monster summoner is trying to let loose a whole arsenal, and take over the town for some petite revenge."
"And naturally, he isn't some ordinary one, apparently he has a few unique monsters as well"
Unique monster: One of a kind in the entire world. each one could go up to a few million credits.
And with that, Dominic had found something to do.

A certain handsome youth was having a tough day as usual.
"Die!" a shout came at him alongside another challenge.
With the blunt side of his blade, Benedict took down one after the other. Though he may appear to be a pushover in some cases. Benedict was still someone with the ability to be called a 'cheat' character.
"Hey hey Benedict, have you decided on who you'll be going off with?" a female student asked.
The first image that came to his mind was his siblings. Then, two rabbits.
"Yes" Benedict replied towards the beautiful, if not gorgeous beauty of the class, Katie.
They were talking about the adventuring trip that happens annually. One in which was made by the city, for thoese who hit the age of 19, were to go out and gather acheivements for around 8 months. They could also choose to bring along any one of their choice, as long as the other party agrees to it. Up to a maximum of 4 people.
Using the cover of giving students a wider experience of the world as an excuse to increase its popularity, the academic city does not hold responsible for the death of anyone who died during their own adventure of their choice, leading most bodyguards to recieve a huge influx of customers during this season.
"So, who are you going with?" Katie asked. Perking the interest of most students in the class. Especially the female ones.
"My siblings" Benedict gave a bright and innocent smile. The power of a refreshing handsome guy smiling was sufficient to gather more hate from some individuals and alot of arrows being fired into the hearts of others.
"Stop smiling" came a complain.
And the one who said that was quickly silenced.
Then , the teacher entered the classroom.
His name was David. Mr. David.
"The city has decided with the overwhelming deaths, that we would be travelling in large groups with a teacher each. what a pain...." Mr david sighed.
"So here we have 5 groups of 5 and a teacher." Mr david said.
"In each group the leader has been chosen to get members as shown here" he said as a few names were listed out on the screen.
"As usual, you could gather people outside of the school as well" Mr david said.
"However, a minimum of 2 students must be in each group" perhaps that was to balance out.
Which was really convinient for Benedict.
And thus, a new event approached
