Summary: 'I take my fate in my own hands'. They have Strength. They have Hope. But neither of the two is enough to save humanity... and so Life wakes its hidden ace, something they forgotten, abandon and left behind for the sake of surviving...
Silver: Welp, I read the manga and then stopped after the lack of updates… then the OVA about Levi came out and I'm back in the fan wagon and… yeah, this happens. Anyway, enjoy!

Tick…
Tock…
Tick…
Tock…
In the darkness, there is a cage… a golden, vintage cage with working machinations and clocks in it. Each timepiece has different designs and not all tells time. The flooring of the cage has monochrome tiles and little furniture.
In the middle of the cage, a figure looking at the blue bulletin board. The board only has a long singular paper posted on it and a feathered pen attached to a chain. On top of the board is the word: 'Job Vacancy', craved on it.
On the paper, one word which is larger than the rest.
WHICH?
Beneath it is a single sentence:
Choose one from the list and write it on the blank below.
The table list is composed of different career choices, such as doctors, accountant, etc.
However, it there are some blank spots in the list and some jobs are too weird or shouldn't be legal.
After examining the list, the figure picks up the pen while the mind is still debating on what role to take. While there are positive benefits on some career path, there are some negative downsides. Plus one-fifth of the list is illegal like slave traders and prostitution…
It didn't take long to decide and writes down the answer.
"I take my fate in my own hands."
Taking a step back with content and confidence that this is the right answer.
DONG! DONG! DONG!
Jumping at the sound, the figure looks up and around to see that the clocks' arrows are all pointing upwards. Calming a bit and looking back at the list… only to see that it disappeared off the paper and is replaced by two words.
Then go.
Then the cage began to shake. The clocks and gears snap off the bars and crashes down to the floor, breaking it in the process.
Thus the cage is broken and falls into the abyss.
As it slowly flutters into the darkness… the two words in the paper is replaced with a sentence.
For this world has been waiting for you.
A spark ignites in the dark.
:::^*^:::
BRRRRRZZZZZZ!
A rock moves forward by a few inches and then it stop. A gloved hand poke out of the gap and then a cloaked figure steps out of it. Once the figure pats off the dust from the cloth, it looks around the area.
"I just hope Sleeping Beauty is still sleeping."
Although the said area is not in view, there are lights that illuminates the cavern and the faint noise of the crowd.
"If not?" Another voice asked, and then is followed by shouts and screams coming from the distance.
"Then I'm glad I bought this riot shield with me."
Laughter rang out as the figure grabs its gears, hides the hole and then heads out.
Silver: Okay… so we got a weird figure in the dark scene (think Kingdom Hearts but in a cage), and who are these guys breaking into the Underground City?! If you're wondering how they manage to make a hole on the wall? They used a drill. Well… this is just the intro and the next chapter will be in first POV, after that it will be third POV all the way. Anyway, please review…
