Chapter 59: Akul has Everything
Clark Fiddle twiddled his thumbs, scanning the surroundings for any sign of kaiju or rebel activity from his station, despite being near the center of the city.
He was currently guarding a ‘correctional facility’ with a fearsome reputation, known as ‘The Pit’.
None of that was true. There were no prisoners, only more guards who lived on-site, wearing prisoner outfits for the sake of the ruse.
No one wanted to break in to a prison, and the average citizen was happy enough ducking their heads and thanking their lucky stars they hadn’t been sent to The Pit, never really questioning why they didn’t know anyone who’d been housed there.
What they really had was a kaiju, restrained smack dab in the middle of the city.
Clark had watched the outer fences for two years before they had trusted him enough to take a rotation on the inside, and what he saw horrified him. A team of mages with strong CC Abilities keeping the monster asleep and restrained at all times.
There was a team of excavators and masons constantly working to make the pit the kaiju was in deeper, strengthening its prison around it.
That made him feel a little better, but if those crowd control mages ever missed a day…
It answered some questions about how the city was so unblemished by kaiju spawns, typically spawning outside the city and in fewer numbers, making a city a workable concept.
