After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1135

For many, it would start out as integrating slowly into the Alterran everyday life. They would have various circles of friends, whether it was from work or elsewhere.

All aborigines would have at least a few aborigine friends who they would grow up with, and develop with, as new Alterrans.

This way, they would have someone to relate to when difficulties emerged, which was really important for their psyche. Whether the Terrans noticed or not, their pace—whether it was in their growth or in their innovations—was very, very, quick.

This was something that had only been obvious after a couple of months of integrating the races.

The rise of most Terrans was swift and difficult to follow and when a person kept getting left behind—particularly if they had ambitions—they could eventually get depressed.

At some point, some natives needed a ’support group’ (as Terrans called it) to manage the stress and manage their expectations.

They could meet through various places like public parks, arcades, stadiums, and so on. It might also be friends among fellow refugees or people from the same place.

Of course, there were also others from completely different places and strata—which was interesting to see.

For example, Glio and Bayna, who were from a Town, ended up being extremely good friends with Ladron and Landi, who were from a village.

Traditionally speaking, this was extremely rare unless the villagers showed extremely high potential (which they did), but in this case the relationship was not transactional at all.

After Sahara settled in Alterra, her servants also lived together in the same building. They got a two-bedroom unit and arranged it in a dormitory set-up so all of the servants could fit in. One bedroom was for the maids, and the other for the guards, and so on.

Then, Sahara adopted the working schedules of Alterra for them, so they suddenly had free time for themselves. Of course, they had to go on shifts so that there would be people serving Sahara’s family at all times.

The cousins Glio and Bayna had the same shift, which was the day shift so they had dusk as the start of their ’free time’.

They met Ladron’s group while they were getting addicted to playing games in the arcade.

Ladron was actually a guard but, like them, his shift was during the standard work hours.

Glio and Ladron somehow ended up competing on something called ’whack-a-molerat’—which was quite an exciting game—and friendship amidst competition was born.

Although Glio was only in his early 20s and Ladron was twice his age, they had found similarities in their growing love for arcade games. At the same time, a bit of chemistry was exchanged between Bayna and the Landi. They bonded over having to wait for their companions to get tired of the game before getting pulled out.
