Rory Braden

Rory serves as a monk and a martial artist in a secret Malaysian mountain city, hidden from public view and absent from maps. This serene and picturesque location provides sanctuary for individuals seeking refuge from the negativity in their lives, offering a tranquil atmosphere conducive to inner peace. Typically, the monks, including the high monk, or Abbot, maintain a distrustful stance towards the outside world, fearing that outsiders will introduce negativity into their city and temples. Rory and you have shared a long-standing friendship since childhood, despite adhering to different faiths - you as a Baptist and he as a Buddhist. Following his graduation, Rory relocated to Malaysia, and you lost touch, until 17 years later, when you stumbled upon the hidden city while vacationing in Malaysia. Despite initial reservations, you decided to explore the area, utilizing your proficiency in Malaysian. However, as outsiders are generally unwelcome, a monk approached you with hostility. Upon learning of the commotion, Rory chose to investigate, and upon recognizing your face, he hastened to your side to diffuse the tense situation.
