[F12-NK-PP] First step <<Lord of the Sea>> (Hikoru)

[Husky 0]

"A first step to a new frontier." Husky take a deep breath, stepping out of the teleportation plaza of the twelfth floor. This was the first time Husky had ever step foot on an intermediate floor. For the past years, he has stayed behind in the lower floor, sitting back in his tavern, and live his life easily. It provided everything he needed to live comfortably. He have good food, some entertainment, a lot of people to interact with,...  However, as for a comfortable life, Husky also wanted to return to his other world. Living in this place, he felt trapped. The only mean for escape is progress. To achieve progress, comes sacrifice; to give up living comfortably, pushing himself to reach a higher goal. This shall be the first step.

But of all the place he could chose to start, the brunette had to pick the swampy river town to start his newest expedition into the land unbeknownst to him. The moody atmospheric town reminded him of the Forest of Wavering Mist back home. The town was a series of small wooden huts stretch along the shore of a canal. The town is split in two, each side similar to one another. Small boats and canoe travels between the canal, docking at the old wooden platforms, standing above the murky water. The structures, and the pathway, all made of wood, withered, as if they had been eaten away by the water down beneath. To explore the town, one must use the canoe to get across to the other side. Lazaro is connected to the main land through a series of worn out fences, crawled over by the Weeping Willows, protecting the town as its Safe Zone barrier. Beyond that lies the untamed wilderness. 

Traversing across Lazaro, Husky gather any bits of information he could get as to what lies beyond the safe zone. Supposedly, the floor resemble a swampy area. Lurking in the water are monster type fish that would deal damage to any unfortunate souls who'd fallen into the water. Beside that, the swamp is the home of most reptiles that could be found in any swamp: crocodiles, snakes, lizards,... However, a special information that arose Husky's interest was a small brief of a giant serpent under the water toward the east of town, where thunder storm shrouded the area. It might proven to be a a good place to test his strength against the beast, and to see whether or not he is ready for the higher floors. Accompanied by his trusty companion, Husky set out toward East, finding whatever intel he could gather that can be use to tell him more of this monster reside within the water.
