I hate my life!Born in a fortress town, which guards the civilized world against the monstrous hordes, I dreamt of joining the fight.To protect those I love.Yet, frustratingly, my life didn’t lead in that direction.I thought it never would.Until it suddenly ended. Yep, I died.My life literally cut short.Yet, even after all this, I’ve still some fight left in me. So what if my heart doesn't beat?So what if I'm just some cold corpse?!Must I be living to care?I swear, I will make something out of this unlife! Even though, everything still kinda sucks.
