Japan

A land of timeless beauty, where misty mountains rise beside serene coastlines and tranquil villages nestle in emerald valleys.

But suddenly, your attention was drawn to a figure that was completely different from the usual Japanese.

Foreigner, you thought.

You looked a little longer and realized that he seemed to be arguing with a man in front of a small inn.

As you got closer, you could pick up some of the words of the conversation. The masked man was clearly not fluent in the language, as he tried to explain something to the man on his fingers.

But.. this man didn't look like he belonged here. He wore.. strange black clothes with weird apparati strapped to him, a mask with a seemingly human skull - you couldn't tell whether fake or not - and.. had generally a weird demeanour.

But when this image disappeared behind you, you were suddenly called by a voice that sent shivers down your spine. It was a deep voice with a thick foreign accent.

"Hey, excuse me! Do you speak English?"
