In a world of Aethel where ancient secrets and powerful forces govern the land, a young prodigy named Ethan embarks on a journey that will test his strength, wisdom, and resolve. At just 16 years old, Ethan has already surpassed most of his peers, having been trained by the most formidable figures in a secluded village deep within the treacherous Black Forest. This village, home to former legends who fell short of reaching their full potential due to tragic circumstances, served as Ethan's training ground. Here, he learned the arts of swordsmanship, magic, blacksmithing, medicine, and archery from the best, including an old SSS-ranked adventurer and a grandmaster sage who raised him after his parents' untimely death.

With the blessing of his mentors and a heart full of determination, Ethan sets off on a journey toward a distant city 1000 kilometers away. As he travels through the Black Forest, he reflects on the lessons learned, the levels of mastery he has achieved in both swordsmanship and magic, and the weight of the expectations placed upon him by those who have entrusted him with their legacies.

However, the path is fraught with danger. The Black Forest is not just any forest; it is a place where only the most powerful dare to tread. Along the way, Ethan encounters formidable monsters, including an SS-ranked manticore, testing his abilities and pushing him to the limits of his strength.

Ethan's journey is not just one of physical travel, but also a journey of self-discovery. As he battles through the dangers of the forest, he begins to realize the true extent of his powers and the destiny that awaits him. But with great power comes great responsibility, and Ethan must navigate the challenges ahead with care, for the path to greatness is perilous, and even the strongest can falter.

As Ethan continues his journey, the old villagers he left behind speak of their hopes for him, confident that he will achieve what they could not. Yet, despite his formidable skills, Ethan remains humble, knowing that he still has a long way to go to reach the pinnacle of power. The journey is just beginning, and the world beyond the forest holds many more challenges, mysteries, and revelations that will shape Ethan's destiny.
