Exploration

Exploration (formerly known as Exploring The Abandoned Town in its initial drafts, abbreviated as ETAT) is one of the few stories in the Thornverse. Its plot, along with Kaimuh Recycle's and possibly many others center around the worldbuilding of said universe.

Along with most of the Thornverse stories, its concept was developed in the mid-2010s, specifically around 2015-16, but considerations of rewriting were thought of by Al in the 2020s.

About
The story centers itself around the fictional country of Byevod. A tragedy had struck the country, and a higher group of people had feared exposing such tragedy would taint the reputation of Byevod, considering its always been seen as this very save haven, especially to the Kitsalan immigrants. So for years, they've been trying to hide any record and evidence of this tragedy into one safe place.

One of the most well known schools of Byevod, Clementine University, recently had a field trip for their high school students, but the bus had suddenly struck down in a sketchy road. While the bus was being fixed, the students had decided to at least take a walk and admire their surroundings, only to then find a wrecked up town. Curiosity then leads them to finding out things that should be known, but everyone else doesn't want them to know.
