Back in the kingdom of Stellar Woodlands, in Bastion City, whose name Leon had chosen while everyone was gone, Chronos was in a room above the dirty bar in the Singing Boar Inn.
He had rented a room there after his conversation with the Inn owner, Kitebera, who was much better outspoken than her sister in the adventurers' guild. She had given him a lot of info on the city he was in, including who currently ruled it.
Chronos initially wanted to stay here for a short time, enough to get money from guild quests and bounce back to exploring the world. Even though he seemed to feel nothing anymore, he still remembered his original intentions for playing New Eden.
He had come back from his first day of questing and was tired. Most of the quests in Bastion City were for corruption patrol and elimination.
