Chapter 2212: 2212. New Starts

Chapter 2212: 2212. New Starts



Two weeks had passed before there was news of someone arriving at Genesis. They had listened to Walker's words and come all that way. Encountering monsters and fighting with everything they had.

When they arrived, they met with a guard who had asked for their identification. It was normal for them to need this since Genesis had ensured that they had made small metal badges with runes on it connected to the innate mana that each person had.

The idea was simple and easy to put together within genesis. It made things much easier overall for merchants and everything else that was needed. Especially since there were plenty of matters that required approval from higher leaders within the city due to all the building happening.

Upon showing the gold painted symbol that they had been forced to carry which was representative of a star shining through darkness, Walker was not surprised that they had thrown it in a nearby fire.

The fires near every single entrance wall were there to burn certain pieces of trash or forbidden plants. Sometimes an invasive herb could make its way where it shouldn't be. Hence how it had been added to the guard's training. Just another thing to learn for the future.

Regardless, the man that had made it was young. He was barely twenty but had managed to carry his younger sister on his back all the way there. He had sat down and interviewed with the guards about why he had left and what he had done relating to the cathedral.

The news quickly became part of a report brought to Walker.

How the young man had gone against his parents will to steal his little sister and leave. How he had been stopped from venturing outside the city at every single turn due to their strict rules. how leaving was the same as abandoning their faith entirely.

The moment that his little sister had spoken out that she wanted to see what the mountains looked like, their parents had looked at him. Had begun to pray and talk about how he had corrupted her. How a pure soul was already tainted by heretical thoughts that prayer should release them from.

What was worse though, was that the young man only had one arm. A so called method of removing impurities by forcing them to one part of the body through prayer. Then brutally severing that part.

After learning of how the young man had been lucky enough to have a chance to flee and leave his family behind, the guards had asked for extra time off. They had not realized that the situation there was so bad that even families would tear themselves apart. Seeing the results right away without grasping that was a fair reason to go home and be thankful for their own family life.

And those that came to cause trouble were not few. Out of the few hundred people that came, a group of forty had sworn they came to cleanse Genesis. They had led their own foolish attack to try and break in to the city and fight those within. To purify the heretical thinking that caused their own city to fall in to chaos.

As such, Walker had allowed himself one slight in control. He had released a large amount of earth mana to create moving vines of soil that entangled all of them before leaving them to the guards. While he wanted to vent his disappointment, Walker knew that there had been laws for a reason. He would not be judge, jury, and executioner in this situation. Unsurprisingly, this had won him some faith from the people who came to find a new life and start again. It was odd in a way since they still held a seed of fear for Walker. Yet, it seemed that he had shown just what he meant when he spoke of Genesis. Just how he felt about defending the unity within Genesis.

Although, there was another development within Genesis when these people had shown up. The idea that there would need to be a lot more recruitment for new people had been pushed again. That it would be worth setting up academies properly.

The idea had already been pitched before. However, an idea that they should make a united academy for the brilliant top young people of the entity of Genesis was a decent idea. A potential new way to grow people that would be able to set foot in to the elemental planes once they had trained enough. Or to take hold of the forefront of certain guilds or industries

within the city.

A potential retirement opportunity for some of the masters that had already begun to pass on their knowledge.
