(???)'s POV
I woke up early in the morning to prepare my older brother's meal.
As I step outside the house I was greeted by my mother who was hanging our washed clothes.
"Good morning Ilia." she said.
My name is Ilia an adventurer, I have no last name because only nobles can have those. My mother, even though she is already 147 years old she still has the image of a woman in her 80s. I myself is still 42 so I guess I still have a lot more of time to develop. My race Terrian Noid Variant, is also known as the physically weakest Terrians even so we occupy 90% of the lands here in our world named "Gurak" which roughly translates to "Condensed Ball of Mineral" in Terrian Druf Variant language.
Anyways, my mother and I went to buy ingredients at the Mikhail village market. Since I often spend my time running around Mikhail village while fulfilling my contracts and quests given to me by the guild I pretty much know all the nooks and cranies of the place.
The Mikhail village buildings, unlike the ones in the capital is composed of wooden houses and buildings so fires need to be immediately put out or else it will spread like wild fire. In the center of the village is a miniature statue of the guardian of the earth Torier.
Speaking of guardians, there were constant rumours about the other guardians but I'm not gullible enough to believe in those.
We know that there are six existing guardians and that they are powerful enough to confront the "Gods" that the capital worships. Here in Mikhail village and some other places worships Torier-sama as our protector.
According to the statue in Mikhail village Torier-sama resembles a bulky lion with armor platings here and there but I had not actually seen Torier-sama. That is until now.
We finished picking up the ingredients when suddenly we recieved a notification from the System.
Major Event In Progress Birth of the Guardian of the Deeps, Rynoks is in progress. All fishermen and sailors should be cautious for the creatures of the sea are all in a hype for this event.
The birth of the guardian of the deeps...
It is true that the Terrian Noid Variants are known as the weakest among the Terrian race but my elders always said that Torier-sama to help us in cases that Asuiran,Liqiean, Feroan, Mieran or Steelworkers comes to invade a peaceful city or village so we rarely get attacked but that is a different case for the Liqieans.

The Liquieans are very secretive and are said to live deep underwater since they dont have a guardian of their own, during the times that others tries to invade them they'll lure the invaders to gigantic sea monsters or use their environmental advantage since [Waterbreathing] spell does not last for more than an hour.
This is a very big news for the Liqieans, I bet theyre celebrating right now.
As me and everyone in the village are pondering at the blue screen in front of us, a powerful roar is heard.
A huge silhouette covered our view of the sun.In that instant, as if called by the owner of the silhouette all the animals in the village ran towards the direction of the big thing.
That day we caught a glimpse of Torier-sama running towards the beach.
Never in my life was I so captivated by a creature that does not resemble my kind.
A lion with powerful muscles, sporting golden plates that seems to be a part of it's body, beautiful green irises that were like emerald and three tails.
Perhaps I became curious about the reason Torier-sama appeared that I left the things I was holding to my dumbfounded mother and ran towards the beach as well.
After 10 mins of running, I eventually reached the beach. With my feet all sore and my breathing becoming rough I nestled in a rock with a view of Torier-sama and the other animals.
I did not know what they were looking at until everything became blue.
Everything(including me) became as if we were dyed blue except Torier-sama who is now glowing a bright yellow aura.
It took me a while to avert my gaze from Torier-sama to the shining thing floating in the the sea.
It looked like a blue ball and the Leviathans are jumping around it as if they are dancing.
Leviathans are labeled as S-class creatures by the guild and are said to be very untrusting and hostile to other creatures besides it's own species.
The "thing" then submerged in the waters and as if following it the Leviathans disappeared from my view. The blue color dying everything seems to have disappeared as well.
Torier-sama let out another powerful roar but this time all the animals that accompanied him also cried out in the direction of where the blue thing was.
Probably noticing my presence now, Torier-sama looked at me and growled.
'Ah, is Torier-sama angry at me for witnessing that?' I said in my mind as my body shook uncontrolably and my head became covered in sweat.
'If it's Torier-sama's wish for me to die then I would gladly die by his hand' is what I wanted to say but I know deep inside I still want to live my life.
When Torier-sama took one step front the earth shook a little. I then sad down and covered my head.

5 seconds have passed and I didnt feel anything so I took a peek in between my fingers.
Nothing, Torier-sama is gone and the animal's accompanying Torier-sama seems to be walking in the direction of the village.
The System then announced:
[EVENT:Birth of the Guardian of the Deeps] Over The earlier event is now over. Rynoks' birth has caused all creatures that inhabits the water to multiply faster, resulting in more fish and other resources.
Rynoks-sama...
----------------------------------------
When I went home it was already afternoon and I got scolded by father for leaving mother like that.
I could barely sleep that night because of the event that happened today.
What does the other Guardians look like?
Are they as Majestic as Torier-sama?
Which of the Guardians is the most powerful?
Such thoughts flooded my mind until I became exhausted from thinking.
'Good Night...'
