In a world where the land is locked by a boundless ocean and the guardians of the City-States fought endless battles against abnormalities, how did ordinary people survive?
Duncan still lacked understanding of this particular City-State, but at least in the places he had seen, the ordinary people in this world still lived in an orderly and stable environment—
