The Start

A month has passed since my birthday of I continue to train with my father, to be ready in case bandits attack me on the way to the academy.

The kingdom of Prinnesia is one of the five that make up Lipheria the one and only continent in this world. At the head of the 5 kingdoms are different species and they are: humans with Prinnesia, elves with Eldaerenth, dwarves with Bercilac, demons with Vodgroc and finally dragons with Quiangtou.

In the human part there are very few monsters, they are found more in the border areas or where there are no cities, this is because in the past the founder of this realm nicknamed "the Earth God" drove out all the monsters and created huge walls of earth all around the realm.

So to access the other realms either you used the portals that were only in the capital city Sliphario or you went through a huge portal that is on the border with Eldaerenth and from there you could go wherever you wanted.

I am not crazy about all this surveillance, however, there is nothing I can do to change that.

Now i am at Taylor's house to complete the preparations and leave for the long journey that would take a month of our lives.

His house is a real anomaly for this village, it is 2 stories high and is very spacious, entering through the main entrance there are stairs going up dividing into 2 branches, on the ground floor are the kitchen, living room and a bathroom, while upstairs are the bedrooms with even one for guests, which I used often.

It is thought around that Oliver is a spy, now retired, of the royals and that is why he owns such a large house, however he never said anything to either his son or myself.

<<What do you think we should take away?> Taylor asked me.

<<So... >> I was immediately interrupted by Taylor's father whose name was Oliver Carr.

<<Surely you will bring weapons, so Scott I trust to protect my son>> said Oliver and was immediately accompanied by the big blush on Taylor's face from embarrassment.

<<Don't worry Mr. Carr you will see that we get to Slipheria safely>> I said boldly.

<<Well now I will leave you alone>> and left.

So my friend and I continued packing, we put in mainly light clothes since it was very hot, but also heavy things because the capital city was on a plateau at an altitude of 1,500 meters. 

After a while Taylor comes out with << Finally we're going to be toring girls our age. In my opinion, a boy like you Scott will get a girl right away>>

<<come on, impossible, how can you say that>> I replied.

<<but have you seen yourself? You are just the right height, slim, that mysterious look attracts many girls, nose with perfect proportions, what more do want!>> he shouted.

<<ahaha if you say so, but then too can have chances, are a guy who immediately conveys sympathy, an infectious smile and curly brown hair with blue eyes, whereas I black straight>>.

<<You have actually boosted my self-esteem a bit. Thank you>>.

Once we finished preparing everything, we were super charged to face this trip, but first we had to say goodbye to our families.

My mom gave me as a good luck charm a necklace imbued with healing magic, to protect me and this shows the great effort my mom made to create it and she hugged me tightly together with my dad and they told me <<try to study and learn new things if you need write us letters>>

<<Of course I will>> and we burst into tears.

While Taylor's family gave him potions to heal himself and others to increase his blood circulation so he would become faster.

And so it was that our adventure through the meandering realm of Prinnesia began.

Leaving behind the village that had raised us and protected us from all the troubles outside it. As Taylor and I advanced down the path beautiful hopeful that we would come out stronger and try to make a name for ourselves in this realm.

<<So you Scott what do think will once get there?>> 

<<I honestly don't know, I until now have always trained in the Art of Sword, but without any real motivation, by then it had become a habit>>

<<You will see that you be able to find a purpose your life. I, on the other hand, want start real guild and with it climb world ranks becoming agency, thus one of most influential people this planet>> said Taylor proudly.

<<then I will help you to climb the ranks>>.

"yes I would need a future level 9 in the Sword Art, so it's a deal" thinks Taylor.

And we shook hands as a sign of promise.
