On the continent, ravaged by wars where humans and the other races fight for more powers and territories, lay a village, hidden and cut from the outside world by mountains.
In this village is an ancient race, that never got involved in the struggles for power, that has always been hidden from others, the origins .
This particular race looked like the human, with a difference that appears at puberty, the fang. This simple difference gives this race an unfair advantage on the others races.
By an ancestral rite, each child that have awoken his or her fang is made to hunt by his ou her own means a beast and has to kill it with the fang. This simple action changes the child at the very core, changing his/her race into half of that of the killed beast. Thanks to this rite the origins can adapt to any harsh environment.

The origins used to be in every harsh environment but following the successive generation their bloodline thinned, and now they can only be found in this last village.
In this last village, situated behind mountains, in a dense jungle where poisoned insects and beast are everywhere live this community totally united to survive...or almost.
In this village was a boy living alone since his 5-years old. He never knew his father and his mother left him on his 5th birthday. Even so, he lived with a smile never leaving his face, striving to become strong as it is only with power that he will be able to find his mother.
Since the day he became alone, at first, the villagers helped him gifting him some food from time to time.But following the words of his mother, he started to dislike owning food or favor to some, as such he started to hunt, to pick up fruits and fish to get his own food and trade using what he needed with the villagers using what he got.
Because of the time used to survive, he never had time to make a friend and find himself alone most of the time, even so, his smile never left his face. And so 8 years passed, the boy is now 13 years old.
