Chapter 1

Introduction

A long, long time ago…

Or actually – never (because it didn’t happen)

There existed a planet called…

Er...eth...ther...Earth. Oh, that’s what it’s called!

But no, this isn’t the Earth we all know and hate...ugh I mean love.

This Earth had four islands.

Huge islands. Well, you could call them continents.

The huge isla...I mean continent we are going to be focusing on today is the one far, far west. Quite far away from the other ones, it’s really lonely.

Besides from its geographical position, everything on this continent seems normal(Otherworldly normal).

The name of this continent is Ventergia and it is split into two kingdoms. Today’s story is focused on the most western one– Languinia.

This kingdom seems to have some islands off the mainland.

One of them is the island of Meryland which is evenly split between civilization and jungle. Jungle which looks quite similar to the Amazon rainforest.

On the left side lies the city of Meryland, it is a booming city and it is where our main character is.

Sitting on a bench just off the road. Under a big tree, overlooking the bypassers.

A man with lush green hair, an eyepatch , sharpening his sword – ready for battle…

Who is not our main character. He is just some side character you may have to remember.

Going further down the stone street…

A beast like man bearing his fangs. He has a scar, likely from a battle.

Who is still not our main character.

But going even further down the street we see a bar, in which our hero lies.

Since he’s never been to this bar he’s getting strange looks from regulars.

I mean I would also give him strange looks if I was there.

With his brown hair, which oddly enough resembles that dirty mop the janitor at your school uses to clean up the dirtiest of rooms.

His torn leather jacket and dirty blue pants, who have seen better days – no wonder he is just calling for attention.

He is also drunk beyond the line where he can form sentences, and when asking for a beer, he just mumbles:

''I woldaaa loiik sum of th beeeeeer bleas''

I still have no idea why the bartender even gives him any more beers but I hope this is the last one.

"Hey boy I think you’ve had enough! What is your name anyways and why are you so dirty, look at yourself!"

Said the bartender in an angered manner

''Errrghh my naaame iiis Nick niiiice tooo meaaat you kkiinnnd sir! AnD tO why I’m so dirty it isss a long story. Ask that giiiirl over there!''

''Hey madam what happened to this man and what do you have to do with it?''

''Hello, my name is Emily. This man was rushing fast for somewhere and he hit me, I thought he was attacking me so I used a blast spell on him which is my bad. He got blasted down the hill and he got all dirty. And after he woke up…''

''Wait you knocked him unconscious! Guys she’s dangerous GET HER OUT OF HERE!''

Said a man who was sitting at the table in front of Emily with a few other guys.

His overly fast deduction seemed to have led him to a rushed conclusion. To clear up the misunderstanding Emily responded with:

''No, no you are mistaken I was just defending myself from potential danger.''

This man didn’t look like the way he sounded. He was buff with a knife on his belt, didn’t look so cautious, but for some reason he kept his distance.

He was sitting on a table with a few other buff guys, which seemed to nod in agreement to his statement.

While they were arguing our still drunk main character was falling asleep, but the bartender didn’t quite like him drooling all over the table so he woke him up. As Nick heard the argument going on and on with no end in sight he shouted without thinking:

''HEY BUUUF GUUYS OVER THERE WHY ARE YOU FIIIIGHTING WITH A GIRL. LET HER TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED!''

''AGH you little!''

Said one of the guys looking like he was about to strangle him.

Their statements were backed up by who-knows what little amount of brainpower they could muster in their non-sober state.

While they were about to jump at him the bartender broke the fight up, not from sympathy to Nick but from sympathy to his precious furniture which he liked to treasure like it was his son.

The girl was sitting on her chair with shock on her face and it just looked like she has seen a ghost. About her anyway.

She was a slim girl about an age of 18 (same as Nick) with her gorgeous silvery-blue hair she looked like the girl of your dreams. Excluding her expression at the moment which is just driving looks away from her.

''Ahem, attention, please! After this man woke up he looked really sad and depressed, he had the expression of a scarecrow. He then came to here and I am following him to make sure he doesn’t bleed out or anything.''

''Oho, looks like a certain someone fell in love with this ball of sweat.''

Remarked one of the guys. He was holding himself from laughing. It was like he had heard the best joke of all time.

Mentioning this Nick really was kind of sweaty, actually really sweaty. Reminds me of that time I tried to work out. Anyway saying these words Emily seemed to have no reaction, neither blushing nor laughing. She kept a straight face which looked like a sphinx.

With an endless stare going on in the bar the bartender decided to stare at Nick for no other reason than...

''Hey fella! Are you going to pay for you beers or what!?''

''Yeee yee suuure myy dude lemme just get my wallet.''

Mumbled Nick who was still drunk beyond belief.

Nick shoved his hand in his jacket, where his pocket would be but instead of a pocket with his wallet, all he found was a hole, a teared up place on his jacked which I mentioned earlier.

A cold sweat dropped down from his already sweaty forehead.

The bartender actually seemed like he was really good friends with the buff guys. And watching as Nick was desperately looking for his wallet he and the buff guys changed their expression to something resembling a child whose lollipop was stolen.

''Sooowy dood but I caaan’t fiiind my walleeeet all the money I haaad was in thire so it seems like imm broke .''

Without saying a word the bartender along with the buff guys all jumped at Nick who didn’t know what was happening and within a second his main character plot shield kicked in when Emily casted a blast spell getting everyone on their knees and making the roof fly.

''AHA I TOLD YOU SHE IS DANGEROUS, COME ON GUYS LETS GET ER!''

One of the guys shouted that like it was a battle roar...
