Chapter 1- part 1- The past, The future and now

    Ten years has passed since the Alliance was made, Ryousuke grew up into a smart and fine looking teen. He mastered the way of he sword and spears at the age of 10.He is also trying to master the skills of archery while aiming to be a weapon master. He is also known in the village for taming ferocious beasts. The time has also come for Ryousuke to know the truth. Ivo told him about his past, when he found him, where he found him and how he found him. Ivo told him every details about it.

    Ryousuke asked his guardians for permission to find his origins, his blood. They slightly hesitated before giving him permission as they thought of him as their own kin. He packed his clothes and rode his sabretooth after he bid the villagers farewell. Without him knowing, Alice, his neighbour that has a crush on him followed him quietly.

    It took him a few days to reach Brightcloak, the city that was once surrounded by light. His sabretooth was killed a dragon hatchling in a battle. It wasn't much for him but apparently it was too much for his mount. He was lucky he met an elf that showed him a shorter route to his destination. The city was rebuilt but it is still far from its former glory.

    Ryousuke searched for the adventurer's guild to look for a bounty. He needs it as his journey's expenses is running out. He slayed a rage of orcs and was rewarded 50 silver. ( 1 gold= 100 silver, 1 silver= 100 bronze.) By then, dusk was approaching so he bought some supplies and went out to the city's outskirts. He just pitched a tent at the edge of the forest so he can easily go back and forth to the city.

    He was worried as he hasn't collected any firewood. He conjured a fire to burn leaves as a temporary campfire. He pondered about what to do as the forest is much more dangerous in the night. He went into the tent and ate some rations to calm his mind. Out of the blue, something moved outside of the tent and dropped something nearby. Ryousuke cautiously took out his sword and went outside. He was surprised when there was a stack of lumber nearby.

    Killed by curiosity, he went searching around for anything suspicious. He found nothing but was later startled by movements made by his tent. He saw the silhoutte of a curvy woman from outside. His right hand was already on the hilt of his sword to prepare for the worse.

    "I miss you Ryou-san~~~" was what he heard before being pushed down by a woman in red. Her silver hair matches her dark red robe that was hiding her fair skin. "You left me alone in the village without telling me anything..." She said while pouting her lips. She sat on his stomach with her hands on his shoulders.

    "Umm, sorry?! Do I really need you by my side?" He was quite annoyed by her for being there. He had planned carefuly and erased his tracks to prevent anyone from trailing him, especially her. "How did you find me anyway? I made sure there was no tracks left from my journey..."

    "Tehehe... I used magic to find you. Besides, I can ask the spirits to tell me where you went~" She boasted while pressing down her chest on his'. Her H cup breasts were starting to make him flustered. She went down to kiss him when she noticed he was blushing.

    "Can't you just go home, Alice... You don't need to be here if you're just trying to bother me..." He muttered as he turned her upside down. He  stood up and dusted his clothes before sighing. Alice stood up and tilted her head before fading away. He didn't care much as she is a full-fledged magician and she knows how to protect herself. He decided to just retire for the night after adding lumber into the campfire.

     The moon is now at the peak of Twin Mountains in Brightcloak. A rare phenomenon is happening. The portal to the underworld has opened, and something has came through. It was confused but it tried to blend in. At the same time, a pack of moon wolves were waiting to assault it as the creature seemed weak. They were hiding in the shadows of the night. Then, they howled.
