Milo: "I thought last time was the last time we'd be in the sewers."
Vi: "But now it's the last time..."
Claggor: "Guys, what happened over there?"
...
I see him walking away...
It seems I was the only one to notice him. I guess we scared him off.
"Powder, Powder, Powder...!"
I keep seeing his face in my head. He had beautiful golden eyes and fabulous silver hair. I had only one word that came to mind, cute... hehe.
"Huh... what?" I said in frustration, not realizing that I was blushing. Vi gave me a look that demanded answers, which I feigned ignorance by responding with my silence.
"Would you mind explaining to us what happened earlier?" Milo said accusingly.
"I don't know, I didn't do anything at all."
"Yeah, we could fill a library with what you didn't do!"
"Guys, I'm letting you know that an apartment in Piltover was just burglarized under the noses of the peacekeepers." Vi said as she took the loot, "So, if you're done with the self-flagellation, we're going home!"

After several hours of traveling, different tunnels that went deeper and deeper. I finally arrived in front of a fence blocking an exit. Which I managed to force open with a piece of scrap metal.
I can see a large propeller that was ventilating right in the middle of a gigantic hole. Hmm… that could be perfect as a base. Easy to protect, even for someone who doesn't know how to defend himself very well. He could easily fight one against four and manage to get out. I could set up several traps, at the entrance which would give me a greater sense of security.
"Come on, I've been in worse situations before..." I said, trying to motivate myself. I decided to go out in search of tools and something to eat. I should probably steal to be able to provide for my needs for the days to come.
But honestly, I always liked the feeling it gave me… it's not like I was one crime away from redemption. Once you got a taste for it, it was already over for you…

Two days later…
I had already made good progress, I was able to collect everything I needed to have a minimum of comfort. I robbed a group of thugs who were partying, which allowed me to buy enough food for at least 10 days. It wasn't an incredible haul, but for the moment it's enough for me. I don't really want to have the whole city after me.
During my escapades on the surface, I was able to get more information. Apparently, I am in Piltover, but more precisely in Zaun. Zaun and Piltover were once one and the same city, but it seems that something happened that seems to have created a distinction between the two sides. I saw several hateful looks between the two sides. I still don't know what really happened, but I already have a little idea. There are always different social classes, which often creates conflicts. After all, everyone wants to have a better life, even if it comes at the expense of others. Of course, there are always exceptions.
