Kapitel 301: Drowned District (Part 1)

The Drowned District was an old neighborhood deep in the City of Tears Lake, where the murky blue water had once completely covered the streets, houses, and buildings.

Before, the dilapidated and rusty buildings blended in with the vegetation growing freely around them, as if nature had reclaimed the place. And the streets were once aquatic corridors where fish of all sizes and colors swam, and algae and water plants floated happily along. The houses, on the other hand, were obviously sunk in the water, with broken windows and collapsed doors, while furniture and personal belongings lay in an underwater chaos.

Over the course of more than a hundred years, the Drowned District had become home to sea creatures, some of them hostile, hiding in the underwater shadows and debris. Visibility in the water was poor and darkness reigned in many places, making it a dangerous place to explore.
