Hello! This is my first ever city journal. Let's follow the journey of Juan dela Cruz in the country of Elementia!

These are the accounts of Juan dela Cruz from the day he was found in the banks of Rio Primera del Hyderabad.

Day 1

I woke up to the sound of a tractor above the limestone cliffs and the crashing of waves in my face. In my peripheral vision were men, maybe farmers or fishermen, rushing towards me. They lifted me up and I passed out.

Shocked, I again woke up in a clinic, maybe? A woman was talking to the doctor, asking where have I been found. Oh, she's the mayor. As the doctor addressed her as mayor. They saw me with wide opened eyes, and went near me. She's Heidi Gener. She welcomed me to the small town of Hyderabad, in the Northern Elementia.

I was brought to the mayor's house after I was discharged from the clinic

The mayor welcomed me with lunch as it was nearing noon when I was discharged. She even offered me a house and a job in Hyderabad. I refused the job, but I couldn't refuse the house as I was overwhelmed as I don't know where and what this place is. Praise the gods they speak the common tongue.

The house was also near the mayor's. A block away maybe. I then strolled the town center searching for a job and the local church was searching for an errand boy. I accepted.

This maybe the start. I also enrolled in the local elementary school, though I have finished high school in my hometown, it's all gone. I need proof of my educational attainment. To my surprise they offer an accelerated program by giving an assessment exam to test where do I need to start. Yes. I graduated elementary school in just an hour of an exam. Praise the gods. Now to the local high school. To my dismay, they don't offer an accelerated program, nevertheless, I enrolled as a freshmen.

I need to see the town. I rode the bus up to where it would stop. It took me to the Isla del Hacienda Luisita, to Isla de Lingin, to the Peninsula del Bungtod, and back to the Poblacion del Hyderabad.
