The World of Madness is one of the most ancient worlds, once inhabited by a powerful civilization that mastered both technology and magic. In their exploration and quest for power, they created a rift in space and time that destroyed the very laws of this world... Since then, the souls of the ancient civilization's inhabitants have turned to shadows and wander in the Cursed Wasteland. The remaining people live as if in the Middle Ages, studying weak magic, hiding from everyone...

A small group of girls wandered along the edge of the Forest of Madness. One of the two older girls was carrying a sleeping six-year-old girl on her back, the other was feeding her fruit, two fourteen-year-olds were playing, wrestling with sticks, and the last one, a cold-looking girl with snow-white hair and seemingly a little girl, walked behind, occasionally looking around with an emotionless gaze. Then the girl carrying the little one moved away from another piece of fruit. A blue crystal pendant glittered on her neck.*

Alice: "Enough, Kate, I'm full..."

Kate: (stops feeding Alice) "Wait, Alice, let me carry Millie. After all, she's my little sister, and I'm kind of a former riding slave here."

Alice: (shakes her head and adjusts Millie's sleeping form on her back) "No need, Kate. I already rode on you for a long time yesterday while we were buying medicine in that fortress. I can handle it. Hey, Aisha, how are things on the horizon?"

The girl with white hair turned to Alice and nodded, still emotionless

Aisha: "All clear. My radars are not detecting any signs of hostile creatures."

Meanwhile, two 14-year-old girls got tired of playing and ran over to Alice, pulling on her pants

Kayla: "Hey, Alice, come play with us!"

Laisa: "Yeah! Let's play horses! Or tag!"

Alice: (pressing her finger to her lips) "Shh! Be quiet! Millie's sleeping! I'm not playing with you. Stop being silly."
