1 Chapter 1:The Hero’s Sorrowful past.

In a village in the country of Hanatica there was a house where a baby had just been born."Waaah,waaah,waahahah",cried the baby."Look Phil it's a boyyy,we've had a baby boy",said the woman that had just given birth to the baby who is now a mother.A man who was muscular with long blood red hair and blue eyes then lifted the baby up in the air from the nurses' hands and said"Valentine you're right and it's a cute one too,let's hope that he's as strong as his old man".

Next to the mother of the new born baby was a mage who looked middle-aged with a hood over his face and head covering all his facial features except the crescent shaped scar on the left side of his neck."I am sorry to say Philole but you're son's stats in Magic,Spirit and body are all weak and way below average",said the mage."It's okay I'll train young Jaelion to be a knight worthy of fighting me",said Phil as he then smirked evilly and continued throwing the baby in the air and catching it until Valentine had to tell him to stop harshly.

That's right this is a world where there are monsters,knights,adventurers and Magic.In the land of Hanatica there are 6 kingdoms each the size of a part of a big country and in the four lands surrounding it there are Queendoms each the size of a country.A kingdom ruled by a king and a queen dom a queen.Magic has 5 categories:Elemental,Legendary,Beast,Support and Summoning Magic.Welcome to the Village of Nailero.

Years later:

A 6 year old boy was fighting with his father in what looked like an outdoor training ground when"Jaelion why do you keep getting it wrong",asked Phil to the young boy now named Jaelion.Jaelion was on the ground dirty huffing and puffing trying to catch his breath."Honeyyy you and Jaelion should stop training and instead come for lunchhh",said a lady with white hair and red eyes."Coming Valentine dear",replied Phil as he pulled Jaelion up and they walked inside the house for lunch.

As they were eating lunch Valentine noticed the annoyed look on his face.When she realized that Phil was angry at Jaelion ,she asked emotionlessly"Okay Jael go finish your lunch in your room okay?".She gave him a smile and although he thought that it was a little odd,he had to listen to what his mother said and do it and do he picked up his plate full of juicy meats,rice,lettuce,spices and salads with fries plus his other plate with chocolate fudge and Black Forest cake for dessert leaving his empty glass of vanilla milkshake on the table.He kicked the door to his room open as he couldn't reach the doorknob.

As soon as he had closed the door after putting his plates down,he started eating happily but with a little worry when he heard hushed whispering then he heard his father loudly say"I am tired of that weakling of a son"."All of the other children in the village that are trained adapt and slowly master what they are taught but he is the same even after training for two years with me",He continued angrily.His wife then told him"Keep your voice down or else he'll hear you".Phil answered irritatedly"I'm done with this",he then walked out with a calm face and didn't come back.

Valentine was about to start crying then she saw Jaelion come down and said"Little Jael,what are you doing here?",she asked with a smile that was obviously fake."I wanted to know where dad went",he said with a curious face."Your father has left us",Valentine said as she couldn't hold it anymore and she broke down right there and then into tears.When Jaelion saw this he went to comfort his mom and gently said with a sure voice"I'm sure dad will come back soon mom,right?"and she replied"You're right Jael my little munchkin",she said happily while raffling his hair and then they laughed together then Jaelion had to go to sleep as it was his bedtime.

Years later in the OW restaurant whose name was written in a font kind of way,there was a boy who was acting as a waiter that looked like a gentleman with good manners and hardworking too.He was wearing a white black-buttoned shirt with a red silk vest and his white hair combed backwards with a beauty mark below his right eye and his eyes as blue as a gem.This boy was Jaelion who was now 12 years old.This restaurant was owned by his mother who was the founder and main chef of the restaurant which was also their main source of income as Jael's father Phil had still not come back when he was a very powerful and well respected knight with a very good amount of income that could support his whole family.By now Jaelion was already 12 and enthusiastic about becoming an adventurer and had already found out what his magic is which is Danger sense.He can sense/see anything within a small area of himself for a short amount of time.During the morning to mid-day he helps his mom around the restaurant with cooking and busing tables while after mid-day to night time he is training to be an adventurer and knight though it is hard as he was born with weak physical stats.

There is a ranking system in this world with E rank the Lowest to D then C then B then A then S and the highest SS rank.To rank adventurers there are magical crystal balls that analyse an adventure then rank them E to SS.Monsters are also ranked in the same way and so are knights.The current king of the kingdom Jaelion and his mother live in which is the kingdom of Lutheran is called Wolius the third and is ranked S along with his powerful leader of the Royal Guards who is close to being ranked SS named Carluan.He is a very mighty,handsome and muscular man who is filled with righteousness but also loyalty to his king."Am all done Mom",said Jaelion after making some dishes in the restaurant's kitchen."Well then you can go now little Jael",said his mother with a smile."I'm not a little boy anymore you know",said Jaelion alittle embarrassed.

He then smiled at his mom then walked home and started training with the blade his father left behind for him.It was really long and silver too with horizontal lines on it with a blue handle and blue sheath.His father always said that it was special.He was doing slashes,stabs and strikes/hits along with combinations but kept messing it up.After 20 more minutes he took a break then started meditating.When his mother got home,he was still in meditation then when his mother was about to touch his shoulder he slightly tilted it and gave her a palm strike in the stomach that knocked all of the air out of her and seconds later she screamed which is what woke him up."Sorry Mom I didn't mean to",Jaelion said as he quickly got out of the deep lotus position and helped his mom up from the floor."Okay Jael I can see you have some potential so do you wanna train with your mom",she asked seriously.

"Can you actually fig-whaaa!?",Jaelion said and screamed as he suddenly was on the floor being choked by his mother's leg's as she restrained one of his legs with one arm and used the other to pull on his leg till he tapped out fearing he was going to die of suffocation."Your father may not have told you but I used to be a knight too with Redirection magic and a form of combat named Swan Jiujitsu",she said."I was his knight commander and he was one of my strongest knights as he had a squad of his own",she continued.They then walked out on the training ground and Jaelion learnt the basics of Swan jiujitsu.This was about how it was founded,who founded it and what composes it which was just like any other form of jiujitsu with grapples and holds but what made it special is that it also had strikes called "swandons".These are where the practitioner uses their hands,elbows,knees and feet to strike an enemy in the form of dancing like swan with the hits flowing and accurate while also being mighty and unpredictable.His mother had promised to teach him the kata the following day.This fighting style combined with her Redirection magic made her a force to be reckoned with and a nearly unbeatable foe.

Over the next few months Jaelion mastered the kata and learnt the forms of the swan jiujitsu plus the training methods which were tough and painful but in the end he was nearly mastering it though he was still nowhere close to beating his mother with her experience and annoying magic.Sadly though she didn't really have any remarkable blade skills and so couldn't really train him in that especially if his father had failed.After a long day of training with Jaelion as tired as he could get,his mother said"So hey Jaelion do you know what your father was called back then?""No I don't want to know anything about that scoundrel",Jaelion said only to be met by a slap from his mother as she said"No matter what he's done he is still your father".

"Fine then mom whatever you say",Jaelion said looking sideways while clutching his cheek in pain."Anyway your father's title was"The Blue Sword god",she said now with a kind smile on her face.His mother trained with him at 3:00pm to 6:00pm and worked from morning to 2:50pm but sometimes she would finish their training at 5:00pm and go back to work at her restaurant from 5:30pm to 10:00pm.They trained some more then ate dinner and went to sleep soundly.

In the morning Jaelion's mother had already gone to work so Jaelion cooked himself some breakfast which was an omelet with bacon and cheese,a sandwich with tomatoes,lettuce,pork and spices plus a drink of hot cocoa.Since he was young his mother had taught him how to cook for his wife and also so he could take over her restaurant when he gets older.In the afternoon his mother didn't come to train with him like usual and so he went to find her at the restaurant but when he reached it's entrance"Help,help somebody find the village doctor,the owner of the restaurant has just collapsed",said a waitress.When Jaelion heard that he rushed into the restaurant as the waitress who recognized him screamed to him that his mother was in the restaurant's break room and so he continued to the break room and found his mother severely sweating while sleeping on the bed in the breakroom.

Her restaurant had about 9 waiters and 7 waitresses but his mother was the only chef and cooked all the food which was why to eat at the restaurant you needed to make a reservation first through signing up on their list of the week."Mom,mom are you okay?!",said Jaelion in panic."Yes I am my little Jael",she said."I am sorry to tell you this but I have been hiding my illness from you and will probably die soon",she continued.His mother then cupped his cheek in her hand with a pained smile on her face then she closed her eyes."Mom,mom,MOOOOOOOM!!!,Jaelion screamed as the waitress checked his mother's heartbeat and told him it was fine and she had just fallen asleep.

Over the next few days Jaelion took care of his mother till she died during her checkup with the village doctor while holding Jaelion's hand.Before she had died she said"Listen little Jael master the Swan Jiujitsu,become an adventurer..."."Remember that I always loved you and still love you to this day my little munchkin and the name of the restaurant stands for.....",she continued making Jaelion's eyes widen as she then died while still holding his hand and getting hugged in her bosom by her.They buried her the next day in the village cemetery then Jaelion trained in the scrolls his mother left him and became an adventurer years later after mastering it at age 16 and now that's where our hero's story starts with a twist.
