The Urban Beton Beast
Life pulsates in the bustle of a concrete jungle. Towering skyscrapers pierce the haze-filled sky, projecting long forms as the sun sets. A cacophony of noises fills the air - the blare of traffic, the laughter of crowds, and the pulsating beat of urban life. {Yet|Despite this|, amidst this concrete landscape, pockets of green persist.

- I yearned for the day when I could be free from this cage.
Redemption's Price
