Stepping out of the Mage's Association building, the roaring voice of the floating boat faded into the distance as I took in the crisp, cold air.
There was something deeply comforting about this familiar scene—the wide, green landscape and the towering mountains that loomed in the distance.
Hamen City—a place that marked the beginning of my journey home.
As one of the few major cities on the empire's borders, it had always been a hub of activity and a symbol of security within the duke's jurisdiction.
Despite the rarity of dungeons and monsters in this part of the empire, thanks to the duke's vigilance, the city was well-maintained.
The presence of guards and knights patrolling the streets was a constant reminder of the safety measures in place.
The city was under the care of Duke Luther Heavens, who, despite his claims of duty, had a personal reason for ensuring the well-being of this place.
