The New Year's celebrations had ended several days earlier, and now all that remained was the memory of the Martial Arts Tournament, which had also come to a close.
The city of White Edge was quiet because of this. People went to work as usual, and children played in the streets.
But that morning, rumors began to spread throughout the city.
Rumors of the appearance of a so-called Ice Assassin who had recently killed a large number of people.
Although these rumors were quickly countered by those who claimed that the victims had been traitors and humans.
The name of the Ice Assassin began to echo throughout the high command and the lower ranks.
And at exactly 11 a.m. that day, the city succumbed to chaos.
"The monsters are coming, waves of monsters are coming!"
"A massive wave of monsters is on its way!"
The scouts arrived, some wounded, some unharmed, to report what they had seen in the nearby forests.
