The sun was shining brightly, blinding anybody who dared to go outside. a young boy with black hair was running back from the local "Adventurers Guild".

He had exciting news to tell his friend, a local girl who's parents own a tavern.

"Hey, Hey! did you hear, did you hear?", The boy was grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh? what happened? tell me!", the excitement from the boy immediately spread to the girl.

"There is a 'Demon King! He just, just appeared I think!'"

"Huh? a 'Demon king'? What's that? It sounds scary...", she had a worried expression on her face.

"So, so its like this suuuper strong evil guy! And, and a ton of people are going to try and kill him?", he was obviously excited by the thought of a villain like in stories.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

She started to pout,"Stop talking stupid! Nothing like that would ever happen! That stuffs just in stories!"

"Nuh uh! I Heard it! For real! From adults in the guild! There are 'Heros' trying to go and kill him! he is gonna turn the world cold!"

"Cold? Like ice? Like snow on mountains? Forever or something?", She stopped believing him a little while ago, but the thought of something like that happening made her scared.

"I think! Like forever! Imagine if snow just fell anywhere but mountains! If the ponds and rivers turned to ice! Its like what mages do!", The boy was imagining these scenarios while also imagining traveling through these areas.

The boy wanted to be an adventurer, it was obvious to everyone in the town.

It wouldn't have been a surprise if the boy decided to start adventuring.

If he left for months and came back with a new tale to tell his parents or the towns folk.

It wouldn't be a surprise if one day he just never came back home.
