Hehe, before you start, looks like I have so many side stories backed up, that I thought I would post one more. Remember, the Q/A will be questions of things you don't understand or some past details of an MC. It's about time I introduce some more people!

Deep in the volcanic mountains of the Fiery Range, a pregnant [Fire Ferret] was hiding from her enemies. She darted to and fro, evading the glances of the bigger monsters around her. She had to move due to the fact that a [Lava Wyrm] had crushed her home. After running away, it caught sight of her and started to chase after her.
She was not a simple creature, and if Josh were to see her, she would look like a red panda from his world mixed with a fox. She had the ears of a fox, big and fuzzy, she had the color configuration and facial structure of the red panda, and she had the sleek body type of her namesake.
In the Fiery Range, the [Fire Ferret] was a low-leveled creature that others would normally eat. The sentient races did not, however. They would rather keep them as pets. Their power over fire was minimal and nothing noteworthy.
However, their detection skills were phenomenal. Even without any actual Skills for detecting enemies, the [Fire Ferrets] had good smell, sight, and hearing.
But even with these amazing senses, the little [Fire Ferret] was doomed. She had tried climbing towards the territory of the infamous [Firefeather Giant Birds] in order to leave the [Lava Wyrm], but to no avail.
The [Lava Wyrm] ate her in one gulp. The worst part was she was still alive.
But now the [Lava Wyrm] had disturbed one of the [Firefeather Giant Birds] and had to fight for its life.
The battle raged on for the entire day until the [Firefeather Giant Bird] ate the [Lava Wyrm]. Unfortunately, even the gigantic bird died from its wounds.
The unfortunate little [Ferret] was slowly losing consciousness until she realized she was giving birth!
She had lost two of her babies, and her last one was so small. She could only cry in frustration at her children’s demise.
What a cruel world!
She began to curse in her heart for her mate, who had died in an instant, back at home. Her last child was all she had left, but even that would not last.
She looked over her baby and discovered the little female to have a birth mark on her forehead! It was the shape of a flame! What did this mean?
She automatically felt the life of her baby girl dimming, as if she was linked to her daughter. With the last of her strength and power, she focused it unto her newly named daughter, Flare. She knew enough about the going ons of the sentient races. She has been alive for over 50 years, after all.
Flare was her saving grace. Her signal for hope. She put every ounce of her power, life, and everything else into her.
The flame-shaped birth mark started to glow a golden color, shining brightly.

Several days later, some adventurers discovered the wreckage of the two beasts. But what surprised them, was that these two fire based monsters were charred black from the inside out! Whatever had done it was far gone. The two adventurers went back to report, but no one believed them.
Who could?

Far from the chaos of the Fiery Range, in fact, far away from any of the ten hotspots, or Regions, as the inhabitants called them. Towards the Great North, the barren lands devoid of mana, there was a great city.
This city, Romultan, was created on the coast of the Sea of Death, a part of the ocean containing a Region at the very bottom of the sea. The Sea of Death was aptly named for the gigantic monsters swimming in the ocean.
These [Humans] who settled here were once part of the great Kingdom belonging to the [Tyrant]. No one amongst the other sentient races acknowledged his might ever since the Ten Great Gods banded together to defeat him. Or rather, his Kingdom. They had to wait till he fell asleep to go through with their plans.
Since then, any Remnant from the Kingdom held a deep hatred for the Gods and the races they protected.
A clear divide had shown itself among the inhabitants of this world. For example, the [Tyrant King] desired all [Unicorns] dead, but after the fall of the Kingdom, nobody hunted them. In fact, it became taboo to. A unique group of warriors became the [Guardians of the Unicorns].
But because of the hate for these people, the Remnants would kill any [Unicorn] on sight. Regardless of the consequences.
Because of this, the Remnants were forced to live away from the safety of the Regions. But this mattered little to most Remnants. The only exceptions were the ones who were too strong. They were chased far beyond the bounty of mana filled lands.
The Northern Warriors were one such group. The Great North only had dangerous monsters. There was no natural mana, so the land was not good for farming. The only way to get a good source of mana was to eat other creatures with mana.
In an eat or be eaten land, strength was prioritized. Living at the coast gave most people an affinity to water and [Water Magic].
But one child wasn’t.
On the day of his birth, the sun was shining and the sky was bright. His parents were both [Sea Farers]. They traveled the nearby Sea of Death to gather riches, hunt for food, and navigate the surroundings.
The sky began to darken out of nowhere and thunder began to rumble. Thankfully, the child’s parents were not the only ones aboard.
On this ship captained by the child’s father, there was 30 strong men capable of fighting off a Titan level beast if necessary. But what awaited them was a Mythic level beast.
With four levels in the basic tier, three in the special tier, two in the calamity tier, and the final Godly level, Mythic level beasts were just shy away from becoming a calamity.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
No one on board, not even all of them put together, could challenge such a creature and live!
So they fled.
There was nothing wrong with that. These warriors were taught from birth to live to fight another day.
But the monster caught sight of the boat and could not help sending a little going away present.
Thunder trembled as lightning struck towards the ship!
The captain’s wife, a powerful Lightning Mage from another Remnant City, tried to steer the lightning in another direction. She had trouble since her baby son was on his way.
Why a pregnant lady was on board, only she could tell you.
She tried to circulate her mana to absorb some of the lightning, but was surprised when the power started to disappear.
Her baby!
He was the one absorbing the lightning!
How?
Soon, all of the remaining lightning was gone, giving the impression that the wife had absorbed it.
“Hehe, thanks, honey. Without you, we would have died!”
“””””YEAH!!!”””””
All the men on board thought so as well.
“It wasn’t me, dear.”
“Huh?”
“It was our baby…he’s! Aaugh! He’s here!”
“Crap! Get my room situated and grab the cook and his servants!”
“””””YESSIR!!!”””””
--
“Awww, a bouncing, baby, boy. He has his…well…he…ummm…”
“Yeah?”
“Umm, he has your smile?”
“But you told me I smile like a pervert.”
“Uhh…well…”
“Hah…At least he looks attractive with his red hair and body structure like you. If he looked like me, he might not get a girl like you.”
“Haha, you tease.”
“But seriously, does he have my nose, my ears? Something?”
“Nope. Not even your wonderful yellow hair.”
“It would have looked cool with his [Lightning Magic].”
“Haha, hmmm…what should we name him?”
“How about Lance? Trident, Spear, Harpoon, and Javelin don’t sound real good to me.”
“What’s with your naming sense? Although, Lance does sound good.”
“Haha, welcome home, little Lance!”

Hehe, looks like the world is indeed coming along nicely!
Unimportant NPCs will be grayed out for further understanding. Or I could use this chance to throw a fast one over the Reader! Hehehe...
Flare sacrificed one of her Special Skills and got 10 more Stat Points while Lance sacrificed two Special Skills for 20 Stat Points.
Flare’s build for the [Fire Goddess] is INT + 3, PER + 3, HIT + 1, AGI + 1.
Her beginning Stats were put three to everything then add build for the last 16 Stat Points.
Lance’s build for [Lightning Martial Artist] is + 1 to everything. Easy peasy.
Flare got a magic bag that is always filled with food, [Glutton’s Travel Bag] while Lance got a special MP3 player that has headphones attached, the [Pandora’s Music Box] (lol). Both these items and the other items gifted to our wonderful main characters are [Indestructible].
Anyways, probably my longest chapter yet! Let’s keep it going!
Remember the Q/A coming up!
