Chapter One: Another Normal Day

[Primary Quest] Summon - Silverleaf Village: Head to the next room and meet Clare


The sun is up. Yeah. Another day it is.

"I wish there will be no errand this day…"

Hey. My name is Lucian. A 20-year old guy who likes sleep. I am currently in my bed, wanting not to go out in my room. Crazy is it? Hmmm. Okay, okay. I'll stand up. My room is simple. A single bed, a bookshelf, a dresser, and a window which has a very, very beautiful view of the wall. Yeah. The wall.

Sigh…

*Knock-Knock!*

Oh. Who's that?"

"Lucian? It's me. Can I come in?"

Hmmm? Is that…?

"Sure. Come on in." My door opened and a blonde girl with glasses in a blue dress went her way in.

"Did you sleep well? Claire wants to see you." She said.

"Oh, Alpez. Mother has an errand again?"

"Hey, get that frown out of your face. Cheer-up!"

"Sigh… Okay. I have no choice but to do it…"

"Hmmm…," she sat down beside me in the bed. "Do your best."

Oh that smile. It's…

"Oh. Thanks! Okay. I'll be on my way then." I said. Then she smiled.

"Good to know. I also need to take care of the other children."


I live in an orphanage which consists of a three regular bedrooms and a very large room for the children to sleep. My room, both with Mother's and Alpez' rooms were situated here at the second floor. Mother was the one who founded this Silverleaf Orphanage. She also took care of me while my parents are gone.

I walk a little over the corridor until I am at the front of Claire's room.

*Knock! Knock!*

"Lucian? Is that you? Come in!"

I entered the room. I saw my short-haired Mother in a white, long-sleeved tube and greeted me with a smile. "You wanted to see me?" I asked her.

"Ye, Lucian. I am going over to the capital—"

"—Have a nice trip!"

"Lucian… Don't walk away. At least, hear me out."

"…" I just… don't want to be alone again...

"Do you want me to beat it into you or are you going to sit here and listen?"

Looks like I have no choice but to turn around and face her… "Argh. Please go ahead."

"You knew I wanted to tell you something but you created all this commotion." She said.

"Sorry." I replied.

"Hmmm. A package of mine arrived from Humming City few days ago. It is now in the custody of the shipping company in Melon Village. But these days, the area has been a lot of unrest and I have been unable to contact Ben. I want you to go over there and take a look."

"Ben? That guy from the shipping company in Melon Village?" I asked.

"Yes. Go look for Ben and collect the package. Be careful on the road, okay?" she answered.

"Don't worry about it, Mother. I will be back in no time." I respond.

"Great! I should prepare for my trip as well. Thanks. You're my boy~"

"Uh…"

"What, Lucian? Any problem?"

"Just… be careful and arrive here safe, okay?"

"Oh, Lucian…"

"I'm going."


[Primary Quest] Silverleaf Village South – Silverleaf Village East: Find out what happened in Chelen Village and return

I went to my room and packed my things. I strap my small bag into the left side of my belt and attach my Steel Claymore at the right side. There are monsters lurking around the city routes that's why I need my two- handed sword with me.

Soon after, I went downstairs and made my way outside the Orphanage. The Orphanage's large lounge serves also as a dining room for all with a long, wide table for 20 people. The lounge also has a Library section, and a fireplace.

Silverleaf Village is just a normal town situated at the top of a hill here at the Northern Erikboise, where the Silver Mountains is located. It has a fair population and was famous for its snow and the Orphanage.

All cities and towns here in Erikboise, including Silverleaf Village, was covered with walls. The walls were built after the Civil War. Why? To serve as a protection from the monsters. Travelling nowadays is hard because of the sudden increase of them. No one knows why, but I'm sure there is a big reason behind why these creatures became berserk.

I walked down the street until I am at the southern exit of the Village. You can see four watchtowers here which is an evidence that this town once became a refuge for both soldiers and civilians.

"Hey, LUCIAN! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!"

"Huh?" I turn around and saw Alpez running towards me.

"Hey, Alpez. What's up?"

"Huff… Huff… Where are you going? I saw you… went out… Huff, the Orphanage with your Claymore… Are you-"

"Take it easy, Alpez-"

"-going out of the village? Huff…"

Sigh... I guess, I should've told her.

"Answer me, LUCIAN!"

"Okay, relax. Yes, I'm going out. Mother asked me to-"

"-Why didn't you told me?"

"I'm sorry. I don't want you to worry, that's all…"

"Hmm, now promise me to come back safe and sound!"

"Yes, Alpez. I promise."

She really are worried about me… Don't worry. I'll be back soon.

Hey, wait… What are you-?

"A-Al…"

"This is for you."

"…Pez? Sigh…"

"This hug will remind you your promise."

After that hug and a goodbye, she left me and now I am here at the front of the gate. The gate was over 10 feet, and in every gate there was a counter which serves as head office for the officers that guard the gate. And the head officer of the operation was the constable of every village.

"Oh, hi, Lucian. Where are you going?"

Ah, hey. It's Mr. Burton. He's wearing his favourite blue hat again, huh? I went to his counter. "Hello, Mr. Burton. Mother asked me to for something. Can I pass through?"

"Sure, no problem. You're a great Warrior-class mercenary right now, and I know you can handle yourself."

"Uh, thanks Mr. Burton."

"No problem. But be careful not to bump with those Legolas. I don't know why, but right now, they are so active and sometimes, they force others to join them… Luckily, we have the great Clare around. The Clare who fought with Ian back in the days of the Civil War.

Mother surely a real hero, huh…

"Okay, enough. Be careful, and don't let your guard down, okay? Guard, open the route gates."

"Thanks, Mr. Burton."
