Hello Katsumi! Please use the following prompt to complete 3,000 words to reach S rank. The prompt may be completed in any premade village location
or you may make up your own village if you wish. Any details not described below can be filled in at your discretion. You may assume that you are working with a small squad of NPC Rune Knights if you wish, and/or can take up to one other player on the mission with you. If another player joins you, their words do not contribute to your WC for the exam. Alternatively, if the prompt does not interest you, you may elect to fill the WC with personal plot instead. Good luck!
Recently, a little girl showed up at a local Rune Knight garrison, covered in dirt and dried blood. Her clothes were tattered and torn, and she looked like she had been running for days with little to no rest or food. She barely had the energy to tell her story, let alone cry, as she explained through her fatigue about her small village being attacked only a few days before by a group of hostile bandits. They had quickly over powered her people and started taking them prisoner, and the girl had only managed to escape because her mother told her to run and provided a distraction so the bandits wouldn't notice. You are being sent to investigate the raid.
What the girl didn't know, because she had already left, is that this small tribe of bandits was a wandering group of cannibals that liked to pick off remote villages with minimal defenses. Usually by the time anyone finds out about their raids, they are already long gone. That being said, the bandits usually take anywhere up to a week or more to slowly enjoy their idea of food, rather than binge eating in one go, often keeping their captive alive until just before it was their turn to be eaten so that the meal can be as fresh as possible. Additionally, their leader is as charismatic as they are dangerous, and is known to occasionally try to convert others to the life of a cannibal if an opportunity presents itself.
