History of the "old world"
chris_tar on July 29, 2022
In this update, The Swordsman's name is revealed and it is “Joshua”.
Joshua's mentor teaches him some history about “the old world”, “the world above”, or “the surface world”, where trees once grew.
The reader is also introduced to some underworld specific technology used for producing fresh clean oxygen.

It's a scary world

I imagine the surface world to be very deadly, with mutants and other monstrous creatures everywhere. Things like toxic gas, acid-rain, pollution, deadly chemical spills, radiation, ruined cities, and other surprises, scatter the surface... There are ongoing vicious battles everywhere over the few remaining food items and other resources that survived "The Cataclysm".

Yes. I know. Post-Apocalyptic stories like this one resonate with our current times unfortunately. I hope we can all unite and avoid a disaster.

I can only hope this isnt me someday. Explaining to poor kids what the old world once had.

Who would have thought this simple, delighted child would grow to become the grim swordsman? Not I, gentle reader, not I. Fun reading! ★★★★★

You seem to genuinely be interested in this comic, and that makes me feel good, like I accomplished something. Thank you.
