Chapter 656: Fein's Scientific Legacy

A group of civilians are sitting around a campfire outside one of the strongholds, discussing the events of the past year.

As the night settled in, a group of civilians sat around a crackling campfire outside one of the strongholds. They talked amongst themselves about the past year and the dangers of the world outside the walls.

"I can't believe it's been a year already," one woman said, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Yeah, it feels like a lifetime," another man added, staring into the flames.

"I still remember when the portals opened up," a third person chimed in. "It was chaos. Monsters everywhere, people running for their lives."

"Thankfully we had the degu users to protect us," the first woman said, relief evident in her voice.

"Without them, we'd be goners," the man agreed.

"But it's not just the monsters we have to worry about," the third person spoke up. "There are still raiders out there, trying to take advantage of the chaos."
