It was in an isolated small village in the kingdom of Baranes. There was a little boy of 10 years old living alone in small house out of the village near the forest.
He was about 4'59 ft with black hair, red eyes and pale skin color. His name was Razen Archer. He was an orphan since the death of his parents during an accident that made their house burn.
He was living alone without interaction with the village. After the death of his parents, the villagers rejected him. He then lived by eating only what he can find in the forest.
One day when he was walking in the forest collecting some herbs when a loud sceam was heard in the whole forest.
(What was that?) He thought.
(I must go home quickly that scream wasn't good sign!)
He was on his way to go home when the scream became louder and nearer of him.
(It's close!)
(It's not good!)
He then began to run as fast as he could.
When was near the exit a huge figure appeared in front of him. It wasn't human, it was covered of fur it had claws, sharp teeth and red shining eyes.
It was a bear type monster.
〖It's a bear that have been contaminated by a big amount of dark mana.
In this world the mana flows everywhere and is present inside any living being in this world.
Everyone have mana but only those with affinity can use it and become a magus.
The dark mana stem from the demon lord.
The demon lord have been killed by the hero of the legend.
And according to the legend the demon lord come back to life every century and during the process of his come back in this world his dark mana spreads across the world and it contaminates the living being that it touches.〗
The bear was black and emiting a dark aura around the area.
(That doesn't look friendly!)
The bear began to run towards him. As he saw that, he began to run away to the left of his previous path.
The bear countinued to chase after him.
Suddenly he saw a big cliff ahead.
(What? I can't stop on time!)
He was unable to stop on time, because of that he fell from the cliff, bumping into the rocks along the wall.
When he finished his descent he began to get up.
But he felt that something was strange, he wasn't even scratched, his clothes were torn apart.
(What does that mean! That cliff was at least at 30 ft high! And I am not even scratched?)
He snaped out of his thought when the bear appeared screaming above him after jumping from the cliff.
He panicked at seeing that.
He wasn't even able to move that the bear had already landed in front of him.
It began to get nearer of him.
(I am trapped!)
The bear then sent a claw attack as screaming.
He tried to defend himself with his two arms but was sent crashing at the wall behind him.
(It the end!) He thought, but something was strange, he didn't even feel any pain.
He then opened his eyes previously closed, and saw that he was fine like nothing have even happened, only his clothes were in disrepair.
(Again? What is happening to me?) He questioned himself.
(If I can't get hurt, then I can attack!)
As the bear was going to send another attack he countered with a direct punch towards the bear's stomach. As he touched the bear's belly, all the monster's innards were sent everywhere behind it as a big hole could be seen passing through its whole body while it fell on the ground lifeless.
The boy was surprised that he managed to kill that dangerous creature that easily.
(That was amazing!)
He then began to thought about what just happened.
(Firstly, I can get hurt even with the monster's claw attack or the fall from the cliff!
After that I have a colossal strength!)
(At which level could be my limit?) He questioned himself.
(Let's test that!) He thought decided to see what were his limits.
Then he turned towards a big stone head from his position. Once he was in front of it he took position ready to punch the stone of 50 cubic meter and launched it;then as he the punch touched it, the stone was blown away into piece leaving only dust in the air.
(It feels like I can go any further!)
He then search for a greater challenge.
After sometime of search he found a big waterfall. He then placed himself under the waterfall and sent a punch in the air, his punch sent a shock wave that blew away the waterfall like it was never there.
(I was just planning to remove the water not all the waterfall!)
He continued to test all his abilities during awhile.
It was almost the sunset when he decided to go home.
(Even if the day started with trouble, I found something awesome!)
(I'm strong and I'll find how to use that strength usefully!)
When he arrived at the wall of the cliff from where he had fallen earlier, he took position to begin a sprint, as he started to run he found that he could increase his speed to a level that all the surrounding was looking slow.
He climbed the wall in a second like it was nothing. After that he walked naturally untill he reached to his house.
But when he arrived home there was already someone waiting for him outside.
(Who could that be?) He questioned himself.
He then came closer of the person at his door.
It was a girl of the same age as him, she was about 4'46 ft high, she had bluish green eyes, blond hair and pale skin.
???:Finaly, you're home, I was worried? She stated with worried tone with a little anger.
Razen:So, it was only you, I thought it was another monster! He said with a tired tone.
The girl was his childhood friend, Liz. She was the only person with whom he was interacting with after being rejected by the village. She was also maltreated by the villagers for keeping her friendship with Razen. She was also an orphan, she had been abandoned by her parents in the village when she was a baby, she had been raised an old kind lady that owned the flower shop of the village, and since her death the villagers maltreated the young girl. They first began to isolate her and after that started calling her "freak" because of her eyes and hair that were changing colour when her emotions were to intense.
Liz:Did say that I look like a monster? She asked angry. She was that angry that we could see some of her blood vessel on her forehead.
She then tried to hit him on the head, a blow that he managed to evade like it was nothing.
Liz:It's the panic at the village! Everyone have heard the scream of a high ranked monster! I have come to warn you but it seems that were fine! If I have known, I wouldn't come here! She stated still furious.
Razen:Sorry for that! And thanks for worrying about me but I'm fine! He said with a smile to reassure her.
Liz wasn't convinced but asking for more information was no use.
It was after some time that she noticed the dirt and blood on his clothes, seeing the huge amount of blood made her eyes widened.
Liz:What did happened? She asked worried. You're cover of blood! She said as taping over his body to find any injury.
Razen sighed before aswering.
Razen:I was attack by a bear, don't worry it his blood on my clothes not mine, I was splashed! He said like it was nothing serious.
Liz:A b-bear? And you killed it? She asked trembling because of the surprised.
Razen:Yes! He replied casually.
Liz was shocked and unable to believe it.
Liz:I see! Let's just say it was due to luck! Yes must be that! She mumbled under her breath trying to deny reality.
It was a normal reaction, noone can kill a bear without any gear and in addition alone.
If only she knew that it was a bear type monster not only a bear.
But she noticed that wasn't injured, that fact made her wondering if he was telling the truth.
After her checking, they continued to talk after changing of subject untill it was time for Liz to go home.
Razen:See you! And thanks for visiting me! He said as waving from the door with a little smile while his friend was going home.
She turned and waved in return before going home.
Two days later
There was flames everywhere in the village, the villagers running for their life.
(What is happening here?) Razen thought at the sight of such scene.
