Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.
Another day, another endless row of books. It was starting to get not only really dull, but really frustrating. There really wasn't anything of value here. Sometimes she wondered why she was still bothering when every trip here just left her with a bad taste in her mouth, and often times a little more tired, but she still didn't want to give up on her project. Holly was stubborn in that regard. So, she continued going through the books in the library hoping to find something of value, even if she wasn't really expecting to find much at this point.
And out from the middle of the hallway came a shadow, not even bothering to hide itself. Judging by how it looked, it was getting as annoyed by this as she was. Well, she would put it out of its misery soon. Her autobuffs activated and she weakened the shadow. The shadow looked like it was trying to charge up for a powerful attack, but it failed. It just gave her a bored shrug and lazily started charging her. Holly just stared at it for a minute. She was a little insulted that the shadow couldn't even be bothered to at least fight her properly. Still, between her buffs and the debuffs on the shadow, one attack with her most powerful weapons was enough to take it down. Unfortunately for the shadow, or fortunately depending on how you looked at it, it appeared to be weak to wind.
Holly just sighed and scratched her head. She wasn't quite sure what just happened, but whatever. It was like that creature was born from her current thoughts. She shouldn't be thinking in terms of 'but whatever' but it was really hard not to right now. The situation wasn't good and she didn't know what to do about it. The only idea she had recently was to see if she could find anything of use in the floating castle, but even that was going poorly. Still, she felt the need to keep going, just praying that she would find something. Anything.
