Name: Kinglsey Walford

Age: 23

Lock Energy: Unidentified

Agility: 1

Strength: 1

Intelligence: 1

Hmm.....Something didn't seem right. Why are all my stats at 1? Is it because I just got transferred to this world just recently or?

Also, Lock Energy. What could that possibly mean?

"Good, you must be a new Keysmith"

NOTHING SUSPICIOUS GOING ON OVER HERE!...… Kingsley looks back and forth.

...eh-he-he-he

Unidentified? Kingsley thought to himself. Jesus if I get thrown into slavery because of this I might as well peace out.

"Hmmmm..." the soldier seemed to be thinking about something before giving a nod to himself.

"Looks okay, usually unidentified lock energies havent given been given a key so you must be part of that group so I'll allow you both to enter. But,not until after both of you have registered for your Key however."

"Great, i'll be honest, I don't have any money on me so I cant make any entrance fee."

"That's okay, usually newbies don't ever have any money anyway, and now that you've been a confirmed Keysmith, you don't need to worry about payment for today, but that wont mean everytime." the soldier said.

"Now, The young lady over there. Place your hand on the Book of Keys so that we may gather your information."

Elise, still confused as to how this situation came about wondered whether or not she would be found out. She didn't know anything about this so-called Lock Energy and it didn't look like anything good would come out of this.

Hesistantly, she placed her palm on the Book of Keys.

The ink rose yet again mysteriously.

Name: Elise Matthews

Age: 23

Lock Energy: Unidentified

Agility: 1

Strength: 0

Intelligence: 2

Hm....So her names Elise Matthews huh?

"This should be good for now, let's head over to the Key Guild and register for your keys. By the way, the names Liam." he said.

They both continued to walk for a few blocks before reaching the Key Guild.

A giant building with plenty of floors left them in astonishment. The detail of the interior and exterior were nothing like they had seen before.

A royal red stained the walls with gold trimming, and murals covering the windows full of exquisite pictures.

"This is the Key Guild?"

Liam answered, "Dont you know what a Key Guild is?"

Kingsley shrugged.

Liam replied, "For millenia unknown to man, Keys have respresented humanities last defense against the evil beasts that continue to scourge the lands. These beasts devour humans with no thought whatsoever and have been doing so for however many years they have existed. Each Key represents an animal from the mythical zodiacs that have continued to protect this world. Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Rat and Pig. Not only are they seperated between animals. Each key holds a different amount of Lock Energy. Lock Energy is seperated into classes which are Low Class, Mid Class, High Class, Saint Class, and God Class."

Elise asked, "How do you become compatible with keys if you're unidentified?"

Liam answered, "Each person on this world has lock energy stored within their very soul. Each one carrying a different amount of Lock Energy. Here, at the Key Guild, you can connect to your lock energy with a key and build your foundation from there"

Kingsley thought once again, If my Key is White, I wonder what kind of class I have. He already knew his key was a monkey zodiac, but he wasnt quite sure what his class was.
