Arras has been born into a world of life or death, complex politics, and magic. Otherwise known as; Araia. Does he know, or even really care about any of this? No, at least, not yet. He just wants to live his life how he sees fit, and if that just so happens to be going along with what life has in store for him, who's to tell him otherwise? But, when he's separated from his family, things get hairy, and fast. When your future is clouded, and everything just around the corner seems about ready to turn you into breakfast, you need to fight to survive, all on your own... Or at least, that's what he'd think.One chance encounter flips his life around, and irrevocably alters his fate.Follow along Arras's journey as he is elevated from his station in life to one he's not quite sure he wants to have, but one he will find his way through regardless. Or well, he'll at least try. Though one things for certain, even with his aversion to the ridiculousness of the worlds way of life, he can certainly learn.What to expect-Not quite a "weak to strong" progression, but progression overall is important to the story.-fairly slow update rate, generally once per week, though chapters are long, being about 5k+ words on average.-M/F romance that isn't an insignificant part of the plot, but it isn't quite the focus either.-Arcs designed to cover a specific story beat during their run time. -One consistent third person point of view on the main character, which occasionally switches to first/third person views of other characters. Additionally, the occasional intermission chapter will be placed inbetween chapters. Usually, intermission chapters will release with a chapter proper as well.-A bestiary/dictionary at the end of each chapter that will cover creatures/things mentioned in the chapter. This can be skipped with little to no consequence, only missing out on trivia about certain things and light foreshadowing.
