"If you want to survive here, get strong, and get cunning." That's what my parents used to tell me all the time when I was a kid. Well, they're both dead now. Me? I'm just living life, sneaking into the Lortel Casino, winning some, losing some. What, were you expecting something dramatic? Don't expect that in Neon City. It's a lawless wasteland.
...And... was it three days ago? The Lortel Casino opened, but Lortel, who was always there, was nowhere to be seen. She always used to kick me out. It felt kind of empty without her. Neon City was running fine until today, but with Lortel gone for three days, so many criminals are trying to take over the casino that it's practically unrunnable now.
...Where am I, you ask? I sensed something was wrong and I'm heading to them.
Who are they?
Sigh... you guys are total idiots. The guardians. The famous guardians of this place.
A corner of Neon City, an abandoned shrine.
I can feel the energy of the guardians here—
A voice is heard from a corner of the shrine, whether it just appeared or was there all along. Who are you?
