Amongst Barbarians

There was once an Empire that was considered the peak of human ingenuity. A place where even beggars were of superhuman strength, capable of destroying mountains in an instant. A place that was once considered the strongest amongst others. An Empire that prevailed over time and remained stable for centuries to come. A Golden Age of humanity some would call it. With that however, came arrogance. Humans, being humans, grew greedy and hungered for more than what they had. A war broke, entrapping the whole continent with death and misery. Corruption ran rapid and famine was all but a common sight. Until it was all gone. Several millenniums later, humanity having yet to recover, a new profession had slowly come around. Adventures who traveled across the continent looking for ruins left by the ancient Empire. Tales of unimaginable wealth and power unlike anything else drew countless people to this profession. A young boy, Nero like many his age also dreamt of leaving his small village, to travel and to gain untold wealth however, fate had a different tale for him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This will be based in a medieval setting. No system, no golden finer or anything like that. It'll be a slow burn so strap in and get comfy.

And as Yin Lian took her last breath, she overheard the men talking about executing some kind of plan from a mysterious force known as the Heavens, shocking the young girl to her core.

Koshikawa Masafumi, a guy who has never had close friends or family, transmigrated into the body of Nils Fehrenbach in an elegant renaissance and baroque inspired world of magic and (dark)fantasy. what to expect: -although there WILL be combat, action, adventure, antagonistical figures and the like...that is not the main factor of the story. To put it simply, the main character does NOT have a main goal and therefore doesn't strive for anything like defeating a certain someone, uncovering mysteries etcetera. -powerful characters will exist plentifully in the story, but at no point will the main character be the most powerful in the series. he will be amongst the most powerful, but I can guarantee that more than four characters will easily outscale him -the main focus is character interactions, both with each other and the environment. So prepare for a LOT of side characters and supporting characters (and arcs) -the powersystem isn't what I what call unique, but it not common either, but still common enough to grasp quickly (if any of that makes sense)

*Thud* *Thud* Sounded through the door. It was late at midnight when the family of the three woke by the noise. It was dark all around, the sound of rain splashes through everywhere. Due to the rain, the electricity of the City was cut off. "Who might be this late," Said the man, in the '40s. He was the only earner of this family, supporting his wife and their only daughter. His name was 'Reez Mosce'. "What happened dear, w-who would knock this late," Said his wife 'Riza'. Taking the shotgun in his hand, he gestured toward his wife and said, "Take Ellie through the basement". 'WHAT ABOUT YOU!!!' She wanted to ask him. But seeing his grave expression, she couldn't help. She could only look at him with concern filling her eyes. Reez replied as his gaze somewhat softened toward his wife, "Go away Riza hide in the basement with Emily" 'The Unknown' randomly happened every day. The murder reports that news announced to them, the people wanted it all to be false, they wanted to continue with their peaceful life. *** The sound of thud was getting erratic on the door. The door hinges broke off from the wall. Reez held the shotgun aiming toward the door. His condition was not so good, his legs were trembling as he gulped a mouthful of saliva. He was scared shitless, but he couldn't show it to his family. He was the moral support for them. *Crash* The door crashed showing a figure as it stood in the rain. The raindrops splattered across the front wetting the sofa and the tables. Ellie watched as the fire raged through the house.
