'It can't be… right?'
Grey didn't know what to think. On the one hand, he was certain that this wasn't Zone 234. Nothing about it was the same. There weren't even any of the ruins.
However, were the ruins supposed to surround the city like that in the first place? What if they were unleashed by something else?
The Registration Phase of the Genesis Games seemed like a throwaway challenge, but what happened after Grey successfully formed an outpost pointed in a different direction.
Grey had been rewarded with the title of knight for what amounted to just clearing ruins. Clearly, the city didn't want them there and was trying to get rid of them.
The assumption Grey had made was that the ruins had always been there. But why would he make such an assumption? Who the hell would build a city in the middle of chaos like that by choice?
