It's been three years since the fall of Xiandor,the world now a lot more dangerous since King Bors of Lunaria, took over. He was feared across the nations for his ruthlessness and frightening power. The rulers of the other nations could plan a revolt and take him down but if a war were to break out, there would have been countless casualties, besides,their chances were be slim, no one had the power to rival the power King Bors obtained after making deals with the devil apart from angels and gods themselves but it was forbidden for them to interfere in the affairs of the of the world unless the devils were directly involved.
Yuki and his aunt had been living in Verland,the furthest city to the east of Xiandor and the continent in constant hiding. Verland was a land filled with average and poor folks,it wasn't really fertile but if was a perfect land for a lot to go into hiding. Moreover, the residents were rather peaceful,they can't afford to be in conflict with any other nation or even villages , not in their pitiful state.
Yuki was now fifteen. It was time to embark on his long journey to find Infiniti and save his kingdom. In the three years of time he and Aunt Mui spent in Verland, they learnt to lay low to avoid attention. They had a simpler way of life, they worked, spent and lived like average folks.
Yuki would always wrap red bandages that covered his whole forehead to hide the family crest engraved there. It was a thing he inherited from his father as his father's linage, the Aegaeon family who founded and had ruled over Xiandor until recently,had. In short, it was proof of royalty so it had to be hidden, after all, he was wanted world wide,there was a bounty placed on him by King Bors to find and bring Yuki to him dead or alive, and thus a lot of people had been searching for him. The moment that crest gets spotted it'll be game over. It was crazy how much power and influence King Bors had on the world now.
Dawned in a red n white top, brown and red jacket and brown trousers and boots, his father's lightning sword (which King Asher had Uyu give Yuki before his last standing), well sheathed and placed at his lower back, Yuki got ready to say his goodbyes to Aunt Mui who's eyes were getting really teary.
"You've grown so much...,but I can't be ready enough for this day Yuki, I wish nothing went wrong to begin with..." she said ,sobbing. "Why must you bear the burden? You aren't strong like your father was"
"Not yet, but I will be, I'll get even stronger than father was aunt Mui , and I'll make everything right again " Yuki said soothingly. " But you on the other hand are way too young and pretty to be alone ,hell you aren't even in your thirties yet, you should find someone to spend your days with, just leave this to me" he said,tapping on her shoulder.
Mui was able to sneak in a gentle laugh "You still think about my happiness even with the hard journey you know awaits you...how silly "
"Alright aunt Mui! take care, don't worry too much okay,I'll be fine, my cosgic is defense - type you know...!" said Yuki with a big smile as he starts running towards the city gates, waving goodbye.
"Be careful Yuki! Make as much friends as you can !! I wish you the best of luck Yuki!!" shouted aunt Mui, waving back.
" Thank you for everything!!,I'll be back !!" shouted Yuki as he reaches the gates and joins the crowd of people exiting the city, going into the grasslands.
"I'll be waiting..."
Yuki's adventures have finally begun,he sprints into the grasslands, very ecstatic, he can't wait to make new friends. According to the information he got from a special book he read back in Xiandor, written by the founder and first king of Xiandor and the first man to discover Infiniti,Yuki's great great grand father, only a descendant of the Aegaeon family can attain Infiniti. And to attain it, one must travel across all seven nations. There was no information on why that was necessary or how that would help find Infiniti, all details were literally left out. But that didn't matter to Yuki ,he was sure he would find out nonetheless once he traveled all the nations.
Yuki comes by a stream and decided to rest a bit and plan out more. The most important thing he needed was a map, to get a map,he'll need to get to the Gild of Sprouts, the world's most important guild where beings of all races go to become Venturers,and the Gild of Sprouts is located in the land of Guildoris, a neighboring land right next to Verland. Venturers are beings who travel around the world and explore different places to find treasure which can be sold to get things of high value, the greater the treasure, the greater the value, and the more it can be used to obtain. Treasures that were more life threatening to obtain are most valued, they usually range from materials gotten after clearing a dungeon,labyrinth floor ,getting pass a dangerous nature region or killing an S class super beast or something even more powerful.
Venturers are seen as the bravest and most valued people in every nation,they are mostly responsible for the rich resources any nation has ,in short, they are of great economical importance and are highly respected.
For one to become a venturer you'll need to deliver a valuable gotten from a C- class monster to the reception at the Gild of sprouts. It's that easy. Things of greater value obtained from killing monsters of greater ranks are also accepted. Once it has been confirmed to be what it has been claimed to be, a rank will be given to one's team by the receptionist to mark your level.
After the ranks have been obtained, a Venturer's card, map and pouch will be given free,any other thing needed must be bought. With a Venturer's card, one is granted access to travel and explore anywhere and cross boundaries without interrogation, just like like a general passport. And a Venturer's pouch is capable of holding valuables of any quantity or size so long as it can fit a one -bed room. It's more like a pocket dimension. Those who possess it can go into it and retrieve anything he/she wants or needs at anytime as well.
The only problem is finding a mate. At least a team of three is needed for a successful Venturer registration. This is the first challenge Yuki will have to overcome to become a Venturer.
