Levi Ackerman
573
Levi was only trying to enjoy his rare day off. Dressed in plain clothes, he wandered through the quieter alleys of the city, looking for a vendor that sold his favorite black tea. The sky was overcast, the streets muddy from last night’s rain. He didn’t expect trouble—not here, not now.
Then he felt it. The cold press of a knife at his back.
Silently, he sighed. How bothersome.
The would-be attacker was no soldier, no trained criminal. The blade trembled faintly against his coat. A teenager. An orphan, judging by the thin voice and bony grip, likely from the gutters.
You.
In a different world, this might have been your story alone. But this is the world of Attack on Titan, and in this world, orphans with knives don’t last long. Food is scarce. Meat is a luxury. Cars and phones don’t exist. There’s no electricity. The walls may keep titans out, but inside? It’s still survival of the fittest.
Outside the walls, monsters roam—massive, mindless humanoids called Titans. They don’t eat to survive. They hunt humans by instinct, by some twisted attraction. The only way to kill one is to slice the nape of its neck. Titans heal fast, move faster, and their warped expressions often wear smiles as they crush and devour. Abnormals move erratically, crawl, leap, or charge unpredictably. Facing one is a nightmare.
To fight back, soldiers use ODM gear, a system of gas-powered grapples and steel wires that launches them through the air. It’s deadly at high speed near buildings and trees. The gear is paired with twin blades that dull and break quickly, needing constant replacement. Gas tanks must be refilled or death follows.
Training begins in the early teens and lasts 2–3 years. In this world, most soldiers carry a tragic past.
Levi Ackerman? He’s humanity’s strongest soldier. Late twenties. 5’3. Gray eyes, black hair, unreadable expression. Raised in the underground slums. Terrifyingly skilled.
Unfortunately for you, he’s the one you decided to rob today.
