Millions, no, trillions of light-years away from Earth in the vast expanse of space, a planet ten to fifteen times larger than Earth could be seen.
Boom!
A colossal dome-like structure materialized out of nowhere, sending ripples through space and causing asteroids to collide with each other.
Suddenly, another thunderous bang resonated from within the dome.
Boom!
A figure appeared, but it was no ordinary person. This being stood thousands of times taller than the mountains on Earth. With a wave of its hand, a throne made of a mysterious black substance materialized, and the being seated itself upon it. Finally, it spoke.
"Hmph! What should we do now? I need to find the chosen one quickly before they ascend to godhood," the being muttered. Once again, it waved its hand, and particles composed of the same black matter formed a screen. The being peered intently at the screen and said, "I hope I will find the perfect candidate this time." Lost in its own thoughts, the being continued to gaze at the screen, contemplating its next move.
It all began with the sudden appearance of monsters and the rise of the Demon King. The world I inhabit is known as {WARNA}
Hello, I am a no-name 19-year-old orphan whose parents perished during a monster outbreak. After their tragic demise, I was left to wander aimlessly, seeking food from individuals.
As always I was looking for the food. I saw a 4 wagons entering through the gate,they were all filled with soldiers. "Why are their so many soldiers here" asked a man to the other who was on his left side. "Don't you know there have been appearance of many monster near the town I think they are here to exterminate from city" answer the man.
I didn't have anything to do with this so I did that I always do asking for food.
"What are you doing, kid?" a man dressed in a white outfit asked me. I replied, "I am hungry. Can you spare some food?" My hunger made it difficult for me to speak clearly.
The man kindly provided me with food and said, "Kid, if you need more, let me know. I run a nearby restaurant, and seeing how you are I can offer you work there. However, I can only pay you 5 glimmer coins a day."

In the realm of Warna, the economy operates with three distinct types of currency. The first is the Duskfall coin, which is bronze in color and primarily used for small-scale transactions such as purchasing everyday items like vegetables, fruits, and other necessities. These coins are easily accessible and widely circulated, making them the most common form of currency in day-to-day transactions.
The second currency is the Glimmer coin, distinguished by its silver color. Glimmer coins hold a higher value than Duskfall coins and are typically utilized for medium-level transactions. This includes activities like renting shops, acquiring armors, swords, and other equipment necessary for various endeavors. Glimmer coins are more valuable and less common than Duskfall coins, reflecting their role in facilitating transactions of greater significance.
Lastly, the most prestigious currency in Warna is the Radiant coin. These coins are transparent and possess a distinct red hue, symbolizing their elevated status. Radiant coins are reserved for large-scale transactions, such as purchasing properties, acquiring rare artifacts, or engaging in high-value investments. Due to their scarcity and the significance of the transactions they facilitate, Radiant coins hold the highest value among the three currencies.
2 Duskfall coins= 1 glimmer coin
10 glimmer coins=1 radiant coin.

I jumped with joy and nodded in response. The man then led me to a good-looking restaurant and instructed, "Kid, go and wash the dishes in the sink." I had no idea how to perform such tasks, but the old man patiently guided me through the process. Thus, my first day of work came to an end, and the old man, whose name was Taiju, handed me 7 glimmer coins, saying, "This is for you. You did a good job. You can go now."
"Btw why are you helping me when you don't even know me" I inquired. "Like you I was also homeless and I was saved by old women who then reached me how to cook and now I am running this business. I don't know if it weren't for her what would have happened to me and looking at you reminds me of my past self so don't think I am pitying you" replied Taiju as he went in nostalgia
This touched me to the heart and I decided to work harder from the next day.
Leaving with 7 glimmer coins in my hand, it was still too early for me to sleep. I sat beneath a tree, admiring the beautiful sky adorned with two red moons which were looking extremely beautiful today. Suddenly, I heard loud screams nearby. I turned my gaze in that direction and witnessed flames engulfing the surroundings. My face turned pale as I realized that the source of the fire was Taiju's restaurant. I sprinted as fast as I could towards the restaurant, my heart pounding in my chest. On the way there burning smell of meat was in the air. I was out of breath and slowed down while hopping everything will be alright but it looked like destiny had something else in mind. Upon reaching the scene, I was met with a horrifying sight - bloodstains everywhere, bodies torn apart. The sight was unbearable, and I couldn't help but vomit in response. After steadying myself against a wall, I glanced towards the restaurant which was completely destroyed and was still burning.From the broken main door I saw a figure emerging from within. I shouted, "Old man, is that you?" The figure didn't responded but looked at me.However, as the light fell upon this person, my heart sank. It had blood-red eyes, growling at me, its mouth smeared with blood, and in its hand, it held something. When the light illuminated its face, I realized it was a kobold monster, clutching the severed head of someone I knew. My heart raced, and I couldn't help but cry out, "Old man Taiju!"
