The barren land above the secret lab was dyed in fresh blood. Monsters were attracted to the place, but they moved away seeing there was nothing to consume.
Within the control center, Zick patiently looked at the dragon's egg above the seat in silence.
Slowly the cracks on the silver egg intensified, it was almost time for it to hatch.
Looking at it, A certain memory within Zick awakened.
It was from when he was still back on Earth. The first and the last 'birth of a life' he saw wasn't that pretty.
...
Though it was rare, Zick still left his apartment to buy groceries.
At a particular point in time, he came across a certain incident.
Following down the railway that had a single road nearby, one would end up at a shanty town called Zeirrel, which had very few citizens living in it. The place was almost like a ghost town with beggars here and there.
