Chapter 1: Begining of the begining

----------------------------------------

Most of the stories begin with the main character often shown  to have godly powers, a powerful and mystical background.

However , not in this story.

Asura was born as the first son of a commoner's family. His family was composed of : his father Glen, his mother Lenaya, and his little sister Aura.

Aura was in fact not his real sister, she was an orphan that one day while his father was coming back from the city and had walked through the woods, found her there and decided to pick her.

His family was not poor, but it was not rich either, they had enough just for living and leading a normal life.

However, the father placed great hopes on his son. In his heart, he didn't want him to become a farmer like him. Most parents wants their children to become great.

Until his 7 years, Asura had not shown any signs of having magic, so his father was disapointed that he had no birth talent in magic.

"Damn. If only he had talent in the magic field, i would have sent him to his uncle in the capital so that he could learn magic and become a great asset of this country in the futur!"

It was known at this age that magicians were appraised by every country and had a status compared to a noble.

"Dear, it's alright if he doesn't become a magician. It was probably not destined for him to become a magus, let him just choose the life he wants to lead. Afterall there is still Aura, although she is only 4 years old, the village's oracle had said once that he has never witnessed such a talented child."

Asura was listening to the conversation between his parents, carefully. Even though he was young but he understood what his parents meant by their words.

His father was strict, his mother was doting, but they both loved him dearly, and to him, his family was more important than anything in this world.

After the conversation ended, Asura went to his room, his sister Aura was there. He wanted to cry but he coudln't manage to do so infront of her, as a result, he held back his tears and went to sleep.

In the next morning, Asura woke up early, and started running towards the woods.

"so what if i don't have talent in magic? hmpf... i will become a knight instead! "

Asura had heard stories from his father about knights and about their achievements. It was said that  knights, although they weren't as powerful as Magicians, some knights were capable of amazing things, they could even fight against a master magus.

The proof was the fifth ranked of the nine powers, The Sword God!

This knight rose to legend 30 years before, when he alone, managed to fight to a standstill the dragon king .

His skills with swords were absolutely astonishing, and the many people who witnessed the fight talked more and more about him. Until the guild decided to put his name as one of the nine ranked powers of this world.

Asura grew fond of this legend, he wanted to meet with the man his whole life.

So now, he decided to train himself to follow the path of a knight.

It was the first time in his life that he decided to do something, and for that he will never resign himself.

Time flew by and three years passed quickly, Asura was now ten years old, and his sister Aura was seven.

Asura grew taller and had  a great build, his sister grew more beautiful, as a little angel.

In this 3 years, Asura never skipped one day of his training.

Each day he would run through the forest toward the mountains, and come back in the evening with chopped woods . Overtime, his efforts finally paid off, but what he didn't know was that this type of progress was unimaginable for someone else.

If it was not for his continuous tenacity and his great will, he would never have achieved this type of result.

Asura was more powerful now than a grown up man, his strengh and endurance increased way too much.

But a problem arose in his training, altought he was physically strong, he didn't have a master. So he never learned a sword technique.

And so, Asura decided to venture in the profound woods .

The profound woods was a place where numerous 1 star beast resided, it was not a dangerous place but normally children wouldn't be allowed to enter the domain.

Only a group of grown up would occasionally go there to hunt some beasts and bring back their corpses and meat to the village.

Asura made his preparation, he took the sword that his father was safekeeping , and departed early in the morning.

His objectif was simple, gain experience  while fighting beasts, and even if he didn't manage to kill one, at the very least he was confident in his running speed.

The only thought on his mind right now is to gain insights, and increase his life and death experience.
