The people under the city walls were trembling in harmony with the fortress that should shielded them, Rudolph was amongst them.
In a truck.
He recalled his previous life as a professor in a university's biological department. Tasked by the government with the dissection and investigation of mysterious creatures, he was assigned to Newford's Awakened Academy for further research after Luzmell had fallen. But inexplicably, he woke in the wilderness one day, his arm missing and not a soul in sight.
From that point on, Rudolph had felt his luck was rotting at the seams.
By the time he'd regained some semblance of composure, he discovered that his missing arm had spontaneously regenerated.
Was this an indication of his awakening?
