At an Island (approximately 10000km2) A boy was crouching low in the dense underbrush ,his eyes following movement of A rabbit like beast 1m in length, sharp claws and sharp and dangerous tooth that can cut iron like a cake, hiding behind its cute, innocent looking face.
The boy blends with the environment, making no sound as he waits for the right moment and fire the arrow made from beast teeth itself, the beast sensed the disturbance but was unable to dodge arrow causing a deep injury in its legs.
"Fuck! Stop you dual face beast… There goes my 4 days worths food…".
"squeak shrrkk.....".
Sound of last struggle of beast came, yes it falls into the pit containing thorn trap made of its own kins claws.
"I think Darwin was wrong saying strong survives while weak perish all matters is planning".
Carrying the beast he arrives at a cave with reddish(blur) colour at entrance in a circular form, it was back of the portal. There was a corner space to enter the cave with a gate like structure of wood planted.
The boy enters the cave through the structure. Red glow from portal illuminates the cave giving it a horror look. The boy smiles from the view of red and darkness blending strange thing was that he didn't know why he does that.
Upon travelling further distance atleast 200m there he enters the open space a that looked like training ground, with a puppet as double size than his, the puppet looked like waiting for his arrival and rose his wooden broadsword pointing at boy. The puppet started running towards the boy launching his deadly strikes without any sloppy and cool movement like a man beating his son which definitely don't look cool.
"Hey old man just let me grab my swo… Ouch!, Ah!, ".
"Fuck, I am not going to let him beat me today. Just you wait oldie baldie".
The boy without any flashy movement dodges the attack swiftly and parries the attack with his fist and claw techniques learned from puppet and some from beasts.
"Why the hell am I still not able to defeat him? Should I open my chakra? No that will stop me to progress".
'when fighting with snake one needs to become eagle. When fighting a eagle one needs to become golden eagle. Techniques should be changed when opponent movement changes'.
"But the problem here is he has mastery of all techniques and he also changes based on my changes"
'I should have known that I can't make him defeat with his techni….'.
'yeah lets try this'.
The Boy started making Deception, feints, and misdirectional attacks which was definitely not enough and added his own technique made after 30 years of beating with feints causing rhythmic disorder in puppet movements and then
"K.O." shouted loudly.
"Thank you Master". The boy bow down his head for respect of his master with tear appearing on his eyes but he stopped them by remembering his 30 years of beating.
By the time he rose the puppet was reduced to ashes.
This was the first time the boy was feeling sorrow as the sole person he could interact was the puppet only. The puppet taught him various weapon techniques like throwing, spear, dagger shortsword, broadsword, dual blades, shura blade, long sword, archery, shield, fist, claw and sword techniques etc.
There were 3 doors in front of training ground with each leading to different rooms. The boy opens the 1st door from left and enters the room containing a large lake-size waterbath with a dragon skeleton inside lake with. The mana emanating from bones keeps water having healing properties.
The boy ready for bath enters the lake, His body was proof of resilience having a Lean and Athletic build. Scars were etched across his body specially crisscrossing his upper arms, chest, and back each one a silent story of past struggles, that made him look more formidable. Each scar spoke of a battle survived, a challenge overcome. Despite having sleek physique he had toned muscles proving years of physical effort.
Closing his eyes he starts his third eye chakra training while reminding himself of who is he?
A faint light shines between his eyebrows and a circle formed there emmiting light.
10 Years AGO
ANCHOR- "Good evening, I'm [Anchor's Name], and welcome to our special report on the latest global crisis.
"It's been over two years since the terrifying wave of beast invasions, which surged from unknown portals linked to the enigmatic dimension of Maysthe. Thanks to the courageous efforts of Hunters—individuals who awakened to powerful affinities with energies like Mana, Ki, and others—the monstrous outbreaks were suppressed. Yet, while the battle against the beasts has subsided, the world has not yet fully recovered, and new, even more dire challenges have begun to emerge.
Experts have confirmed a staggering event: the Earth itself has expanded, merging with Maysthe, causing entire new lands to materialize across the globe. These lands have reshaped political boundaries, introduced unknown creatures, and, more urgently, triggered a series of conflicts and negotiations that have led to war.
In the Western Hemisphere, a new country named Eisenweld has appeared near North America. The sudden emergence of this land and its people has caused widespread confusion and tension. Unable to comprehend the changes, and feeling threatened by the new geopolitical landscape, war has erupted in this region, with Eisenweld caught in the middle of escalating hostilities. The dwarves of Eisenweld, known for their advanced technology, weaponry, and traps powered by Mana, have become a formidable force in these skirmishes.
Meanwhile, in the Southern Hemis phere, South Africa now shares a border with Poink, a land inhabited by orcs. This new connection spans half of the African continent and extends into the South Atlantic Ocean, further fueling international tensions. The orcs, known for their immense physical strength and beast-like abilities, are dominating the southern territories, using their brute force to expand their influence across the region.
Across the Atlantic, in Europe, a massive landmass known as Alfrealm has risen, larger than Nort America. The elves of Alfrealm, skilled in powerful magic and spirit calling—practiced by their sorcerers—have quickly established themselves as a significant force. However, the sudden appearance of Alfrealm has sparked widespread unrest, and the confusion surrounding its appearance has quickly escalated into violent conflict.
To the south, Alfheim, an even larger landmass, has emerged, expanding into South America and moving toward Australia and the Indian Ocean. The inhabitants of Alfheim, also elves, possess a deep affinity for magic and t he summoning of spirits, leading to their increasing involvement in the unfolding war.
However, the most alarming development is occurring in the Pacific. A gargantuan landmass, stretching across both the northern and southern Pacific Oceans and as large as the entire continent of Asia, has emerged. This land is infested with beasts, and while dungeons—once a constant threat—have become less active due to the merging phenomena, the beasts themselves are becoming a growing menace. Dungeons may have quieted, but the physical presence of the beasts is undeniable, further complicating the crisis.
The sheer size and scale of these changes have created a crisis unlike anything we've ever seen. The world is on edge, as the new territories and the rise of powerful monsters create unprecedented dangers. Governments are scrambling to form alliances, while hunters—those individuals awakened to the new energies—are once again called to the front lines.
The situation is evolving rapidly, and the future of our planet hangs in the balance.
We will continue to monitor these events and bring you updates as this crisis unfolds. Stay tuned for more information as humanity faces its greatest test yet."

James - "Nex why do you keep meditating when there is no point in doing it".
James a 12 year old refugee asked Nex who is 5 yrs old. The refugees and orphans form tight-knit communities, started relying on each other for survival And that led for a need of camp which became second house to everyone there
'Do you think that a 5 year child could trap hunt a beast even if the beast was small on its own and have maturity of an adult'. Nex smiled and thought to himself.
"I am doing this to help me sleep more peacefully. Do you want to try it too?"
"You are really a weirdo, who could sleep peacefully when there is always sound of bombardment coming, by the way we are going to scavenge some food do you want to tag along?"
Teenagers favored Nex because of his wits and discerning eye which he used in learning habits of some beasts and their behaviour which eventually helped in catching beasts by predicting its path and catching it by laying vicious traps. This was the main way in which he earned his share of food.
"OK lets go". While looking at a blue screen which was invisible to others he walked towards the group full of hope for scavenging valuables.
