"So... North." I tried to catch the elf's attention while he walked ahead of me. "What is this game about?"

"You need to pass the rank exam to determinate your ability, after that you will be modified by the Gods and then, accepted in one of the Clans. The Clan gives you a mission, but it isn't different in every one."

"Wait, what exam? Ability? Clans? What Gods?"

"Can you just shut up?" He growled. "I'm North, from the Tutoring Clan. We are the ones in charge of the annoying new players until they get the basics."

"Tutoring Clan?"

"There are 3811 Clans in this exact moment, but all of them are under the protection of one of the Eight Kings. My clan's leader is the Light King, assigned to guide new players to glory, bla bla bla..."

"Who are the Eight Kings?"

"The original players. They are the most temible creatures in these lands and leaders of the biggest Clans that exist."

"So... They are eight, so eight clans?"

"Wrong, there's seven of them. Between the Eight Kings, we can find the Life Kings, they share title because they are identical twins."

"Who are the rest of the Kings?"

"Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Life twins, Light and Death. The Water Queen is the only woman between them."

"There is Light, but there isn't darkness?"

"Darkness is included in the Death Clan. Don't approach their territory if you appreciate your life."

"Why?"

"The Shadows. They live there."

"Who--"

"Monsters. They were modified by the Gods to feed from emotions, their objective is to punish rule-breakers and cheaters. All of them are Players, but the rank exam placed them in that realm."

"The exam?!"

"Don't worry, the Death Realm doesn't accept people from the exam, they retired from it some years ago."
