In the time before time, when the cosmos was a canvas waiting to be painted, two dragons, one alabaster and radiant, the other obsidian and shadowed, clashed in a celestial waltz. Their mighty roars echoed through the void, a symphony that birthed Eldoria—a world forged in the fires of their fervent dance.
We find Korin, an 8-year-old boy, running on the streets of the city of Ulche, a city located in the South-East of the Kingdom of Nromania in the Erorth continent. Without family, without anyone to help him in life, he lives in a small house on the outskirts of the city. The only thing of value he has is a Katana left by his family when they left him. He has no mana at all, he passed the festival of young wizards without having access to mana control, the thing that can make magic a real thing. Even if he has no hand, he was born with an S-level skill in sword handling. Korin runs to the Adventurers' Guild in Ulche to register as an adventurer.
The guild's grand hall, adorned with relics from bygone quests, welcomed Korin with a mixture of trepidation and wonder. At the entrance to the guild, a boy who seemed to be the same age as Korin, was excitedly waiting for another boy a little taller than him and dressed in a suit of light armor, the two were laughing together until they saw Korin from afar. The 2 cheerfully greeted Korin and started chatting with him.
"Hello there! I'm Verin, and the other one is Ralph. What brings you to the guild?" Verin's voice carried the lightness of a frost-kissed breeze.
"I... I want to be an adventurer. I want to explore, to find a purpose," Korin replied, the words carrying the weight of his unspoken past.
Verin's frosty eyes gleamed with understanding. "Well, you've come to the right place. How about we team up? Strength in numbers, right?"
"Sounds good, but I don't know you at all and especially, now I have to register as an adventurer, after that I would like to get to know both of you better" Said Korin smiling at the 2 boys.
After some time waiting at the Guild Counter, meeting Layla, his new supervisor and taking the aptitude test, he was able to sign as a new F-Rank Adventurer. Ralph and Verin were waiting for him for the entire time.
"Well now, you are an official adventurer just like us, now let me reintroduce myself, I am Verin Frostborn, 4th son of the Frostborn family, I am an Ice Mage and I'm using my hand Ice Grimoire that contains Ice spells for every level, I became an adventurer to forget about everything that happens at home, especially since I am the youngest son and my parents do not have high expectations for my future, I honestly feel good that I am not scolded like my older brothers are when I make a mistake
"OK, IT'S MY TURN, I'M..."
"I've told you so many times this morning until now, Ralph, you're way too noisy" Said Verin throwing a snowball at Ralph's head
''Damn Verin, again? Anyway, I'm Ralph Tigertooth, I'm 9 years old and I'm the 6th son of the Main Tigertooth family, my family deals with creating strong warriors without magic so I'm a good hand to hand fighter, I became an adventurer to gain fighting experience so in the future my enemies won't have a chance winning against me HAHAHAHA"
"Nice boys, I am Korin, just Korin, I don't know my family name because I was on this world alone since I can remember, the only thing i know is that I have this Katana in my house, it says that it belongs only to me, so nor my dad or my mom used it before me, and you know why i wanted to become an adventurer"
"This is painful to know, I'm sorry that you grew up alone until now, that you don't know anything about your family if they're dead or left you, I hope we'll be good friends Korin" said Verin with a sad look on his face
"Yeah man, this sucks, if you need a place to live, i can ask my parents, maybe you can stay with us, or if this is too much to ask, maybe you can have dinner with us sometimes" said Ralph with same look as Verin
"I'm okay guys don't worry, well I survived well because of my S-Rank swordmanship"
"Wait,.... S-RANK SWORDMASHIP, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?????" said the two of them at the same time
Korin giggles, "Well, I don't know, I was born this way, the people from the outskirts of Ulche helps me all the time, saying things like, my family always helped them when they needed so now they'll help me grow as a man who will get to know about my family when I'm a lot stronger, so my main focus right now is to become a well known adventurer"
"Well for that, we need to get to work ASAP, don't worry we already took a mission cord from the board, we'll go hunt some goblins boys" said Ralph with the mission card in his hand.
"Yeah, today is the day when Shadow's Embrace was born, let's go prove ourselfs to the world my new friends.
"YEAH"
SOMEWHERE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD
"Hey honey, our boy's ready to take on his journey, I'm so proud of him"
"Yeah, I sensed that too, I hope we will meet soon with him, we don't know how he looks like but we will know when he is Using The Blade of Destruction, the most powerful sword that exists in this world, his birthed ability is perfect for that sword, well i'm jelous of his swordmanship, he'll be the greatest ever even without our family's magic power"
"I know, he's our boy so he will be the greatest, I don't doubt that, but what if he has magic power and masters it to the fullest?"
"Then, he is the greatest, I'm so sorry we couldn't train him and live a family life like how it should be".
In the vibrant realm of Nromania Kingdom, young Korin embarks on his journey as a spirited adventurer alongside his two closest friends. Their exploits lead them to becoming the most celebrated trio of child adventurers in the land, their names whispered with awe and respect.
