A world that had by some oddity evolved while completely seperated. At some point in time, the population of the world divided itself into strict closed off cities. Each with their own culture and people. Rarely does anyone travel outside the city they were born in. Not because they are not allowed to, but simply because there is no desire to. This story is of one rare man that actually does venture out of his city and explores the world at large. Interacting with the unique oddities each city has, or simply observing, These are simply the tales of a wanderer. Author notes: While the protagonist is consistent and there is a planned overarching story, this is more of a collection of short stories. Each city is its own short story, that showcases the specific oddity that city has developed. From horrific to simply amusing, or even mundane. Rather than on a chapter per chapter basis, each short story will be written by itself before release (3-4 chapters) of each city. Then released when done. Art by my friend "QTSharky"
