In this world of many different races and species, one that reigns supreme is the God-Race, of course they are scarce but they do have an unknown life-span.
Different races do not intertwine in settlements and are often at war, as there is many disagreements and sometimes just flat out discrimination. Although a dream that lies in many regardless of race is being the most powerful, a one person army, defeating a spirit creature in combat will allow it's soul essence to be absorbed and help one become more powerful, but techniques and scrolls despite being so difficult to attain can only be used once one has enough power.
Anyways let's get to our main guy! In a small green village is Jin, he is 23 years old now and has revisited his old village, he has not done anything noteable enough to be considered a hero or great warrior though.
"Hey ma! Hey lil bro!"
His mother was a small woman, only 5"3' with skin that had been tanned due to work in the sun and wrinkled from age,her hair was long and light brown and grey strands mixed in, her hands were also callous from work which was noticeable.
The mother had hugged her son squeezing as hard as she could as it had been many years since they had last seen eachother.
"Oh my youre so tall now! I cant believe my boy is a knight!!!"
The boy was about 16, with long brown hair and work tanned skin, he had given his brother a big hug and they had both started bomboarding Jin with questions.
Soon enough a couple days went by and the family sat at the dinner table
Jin had decided to speak what had been on his mind
"Ahem, mother, brother, I have something to say, I have decided I will journey to Black-Diamond-Mountain, and try to slay the dragon.."
The mother and brother had both started to protest when he cut them off
"I left at the age young bro is now, In that time I have practiced the way of the sword dilligently and slayed countless beasts, but my name is still unknown and not famous, only by defeating one of the great beasts or doing some great feat will my name be known, I am leaving the spoils I have made through my ventures to you, do not try to argue just think of it like this, if I can do this I will have more than that and enough to give you even more to help! And if.. I will not change my mind but I just want to tell you this and attempt to repay you for all you have done for me."
The small family cried and less then a week later of talking and consoling Jin had left the home to accomplish his lifelong dream.
