The world is in chaos in the appearance of the tower, It takes a lot of life but also gives a lot of opportunities.

Inside of that tower, There live a mysterious tribe with exquisite jeweled eyes that symbolize their tribe and source of infinite aether,

Aether is the power of life and only dragons and mythical creatures can wield it but this mysterious tribe has infinite aether and because of that they hide in the deepest part of the dungeon to avoid war and to seek for peace... The tribe of gaia

Lucian Gaia, a young man known for his silver hair and ruby eyes, was orphaned after his parents sudden disappearance...

The young boy was cussed by his fellow tribesman as a traitor's child and grew toward the contempt of his tribesman.

Although the boy is cussed out by the tribe they can't help but be charmed by his looks and they can't deny his natural talent in alchemy and were supported by the patriarch.

...----------------...

...While cleaning his parents room he discovered a hidden compartment under his parents bed that led him to discover a diary left by his parents....

...----------------...

...Diary...

...----------------...

"By the time you see this I must be gone already, as you know your daddy is an outsider and that's also why the tribesman shows opposition to our family,

It must have been hard for you but you can endure it, you're very strong and intelligent for your own good,

You always outsmart me and your father hehe so you must be living well...

I leave this message for you to tell you how much I love you, My moon please be happy, I hope you'll be able to see every beautiful thing in this world and find someone you love...

Don't worry about us and live your life to the fullest."

...----------------...

...----------------...

Tears flows down to his cheeks as he reads his parents message did he realize his parents never abandoned him and that he is loved, That single message gives that tired Young child healings...

Time goes by as he reads his parents diary, the adventure and journey of his parents outside his village with their friends and comrade...

...About the world outside the tower....

The diary gives Lucian a dream,

To experience the journey outside the tribe and to seek the world outside of that tower.

While reading the diary he comes to discover about the rift,

Rifts are cracks in towers, it connects to many dimensions, they are considered dungeons within dungeons.

He discovered that there is a rift in the cave behind the astraia mountain.

In response to his curiosity he packed his luggage to start his journey right away, Lucian decided that there's no need for him to stay in that tribe and wanted to follow his father's footsteps and also to follow his dreams..

......................

...As he reached the gate,...

...a deep, well-toned voice calls to him....

(?): Lucian.

Lucian: Huh?

(?): where are you going?

Lucian: Patriarch... I decided to be an adventurer like my father, I'll be having my own adventure! Please don't get in my way or I'll have no choice but to fight you!

...*Lucian shows his determination,...

...he's willing to slash anyone who gets in his way.*...

Patriarch: Aghhh this kid.. Seriously.

Lucian: Don't get in my way please.

Patriarch: Don't worry I'll never stand in your way, I already know this will happen.

Lucian: what do you mean?.

Patriarch: Haizzz you're that stubborn guy's child, what can I do anyway? Except that face you're nothing like your mother at all.

Lucian: uhmm... But why are you here anyway?

...*confused and started Lucian can't help but ask*...

Patriarch: Aigooo this brattt... Do you wanna die as soon as you leave the tribe??? What the hell are you wearing??? Do you think outside is a playground???

Lucian: Ehhhh??? What do you mean patriarch??? I'm super strong so what can they do to me anyway???

Patriarch: what can your strength do anyway when you're hungry? you know absolutely nothing outside and with that thin clothes you'll definitely freeze to death.

Lucian: Why are you concerned anyways?...

Patriarch: Use this! And don't tell me you're gonna travel aimlessly?

...*The Patriarch hands him a set of clothing, It is made finely and was paired with a pair of gloves and shoes, the Patriarch also hands him a black sword.*...

Lucian: why are you giving good things like this to me? And what's wrong with traveling aimlessly? It is part of the adventure!

Patriarch: Aghhh this stupid child... You're gonna die at this rate.

Patriarch: Stop being nonchalant and use this map. You're going to the astraia mountain right?

Lucian: why are you being kind to me anyway? Are you gonna die soon?

Patriarch: This brat... Whatever just leave!

Lucian: humph I'm gonna leave anyway!

By the way goodbye, I won't write any letters ok? Don't expect anything

...*Lucian smiles as he leaves without looking back*...

...****************...

Patriarch: Rea.. That brat... he really is your child, look how he leaves without even looking back... By the way the sword and the clothes you make suits him well, he grows well.

...****************...

Lucian follows the map the Patriarch gave him,

As he travels he stumbled upon a tree with a strange marking.

......................

Lucian: Who might have left such a mark?

I think I should look around for a bit...

As Lucian looks around, he hears loud footsteps coming his way.

Lucian: That is... Shit.

Lucian encounters a wyvern just as he starts his journey.

Lucian: Damn... Just my luck.

Lucian: this is still part of the journey isn't it? to think as soon as my adventure starts I might die... what a shitty life.

But... I think I can handle this much!

He pulls out his sword, using his trait he imitates the Patriarchs sword talent and swings his sword.

Surprised as he sees how the sword pierces through the wyverns tough armor.

The wyvern is startled and went wild giving Lucian a complete advantage,

Lucian charges towards the wyvern and slashes its eyes, leading it to be more agitated and attacked him.

The wyvern charges towards Lucian completely disregarding the terrain's structure causing it to fall on a cliff...

Knowing that the wyvern is wounded seriously, Lucian decides to follow it and immediately kills it then takes its core.

Lucian: Wowww... This wyvern really gives me many good materials as soon as I start! Is this perhaps a gift? Hehe

Lucian: haizz this is why we should familiarize ourselves with our surroundings...

I should find myself a place to camp now, It's getting late.

...----------------...

...Time flew quickly as Lucian started his journey, it's already been 3 weeks......

...----------------...

Patriarch: Lucian must have already reached "that" place... I wonder how he will be able to take it.

...----------------...

...At the Dark gator's swamp...

Lucian: shittt....Damn...

Lucian can't believe what he sees...

He's startled and somehow feels like giving up.

Lucian: SCREEEECHHH!!! WHAT IN HELL IS THIS??? Fuckkk... I don't think I can do this...

It takes Lucian 3 days to have the courage to continue and on the way he has multiple times of vomiting.

...----------------...

Lucian: Bleeegh! Ewww what the hell is this thing... Disgusting.

Lucian: ****... If I just know there's something like this I should have used flight magic instead...

...----------------...

Lucian: Eeekkkk! This is disgusting, The swamp... It's swallowing my feet... Ewww

Bleeegh..

Lucian suffers from the dirt and especially the monster in the swamp, he can't handle disgusting things easily and has been a clean freak who cleans his sword twice as soon as it touches blood...

For him... THIS IS THE EMBODIMENT OF HELL!

...----------------...

Lucian: Finally... I made it... The astraia mountain!

Lucian feels like crying after getting out of the swamp, he quickly finds a lake to wash himself.

He stayed under the water for 2 hours...

Lucian: ahhh how refreshing, that hell.. Finally I'm here!

...he runs towards the cave quickly and trips on something...

Lucian: ****... I-I- I just wash... Hey!

...He turned over and saw a bloody man under him...

Lucian: give me a break seriously... Hey! Are you ok?

(huh? That mark... Is it a symbol?.. It's the same mark I saw before.)

Lucian: how annoying...

...----------------...

...Lucian decided to treat him and bring the man in the cave with him....

...----------------...

...After a few days the man finally woked up......

Lucian: Finally...

(?): who are you?

Lucian: I should ask you that first, which tribe are you from? And why are you wounded?

(?): I don't know what you're talking about, I'm not in any tribe or anything similar and the wound... Uhmm

Albert: Ah! My name is Albert Cellia, Thanks for saving me.

...----------------...

...Even though he is smiling warmly Lucian can see a hint of sadness and regret on him....

...----------------...

Lucian: whatever... My name is Lucian.

Albert: hahaha...

Lucian: why are you seriously wounded?

Albert: oh... You see... It is kinda embarrassing.

Lucian: then don't say it.

Albert: eh?

Lucian: are you dumb?

Albert: uhmm no.. I'm just surprised... I thought you'll be curious.

Lucian: I don't have any time to be curious about such things.

Albert: I see... Are you heading somewhere?

Lucian: do I need to answer?

...----------------...

...Albert thought that moment, how much of an Iron fortress Lucian is......

...That isn't to be considered normal for Albert to be rejected....

...----------------...

Albert has an exquisite look and figure, 6 feet tall, handsome with golden hair and deep blue eyes, he never fails to stand out but...

He can't help but be in awe to Lucian.

...----------------...

Lucian: what are you staring at?

Albert: can I touch your hair?

Lucian: no.

Albert: just as I thought ;;

Lucian: are you ok now?

Albert: I think so... I can move freely now

Lucian: Then I'll be leaving now then, Bye.

Albert: eh? *grabs his hands*

Lucian: what is it?

Albert: may I accompany you in your journey?

I might help in any way...

Lucian: No- ( wait- isn't it just like in the diary? Right the friend thing... Is he perhaps...)

Albert: *confused* ;;

Lucian: uhmmmm I'll consider it... *smiles*

Albert: Huh? ( I thought he would reject me for sure... But he's smiling, it's good though...)

Lucian: are you perhaps... Ahem... Asking me to be your friend?

Albert: ( ah this... Isn't this too innocent of a response??? How did such a child manage to survive the tower??? This is too much...)

Lucian: ( Am I wrong....) ;

Albert: Lucian...

Lucian: what?

Albert: about becoming friends...

Lucian: ... (I knew it...)

Albert: from now on you should tell me who befriends you ok? Can I call you cian? ( this boy will definitely be taken advantage of... I have to protect this innocent boy from those things!)

Lucian: Eh???? really?... Ahem humph... I suppose you'll be my first friend then.

I'll take care of you.

Albert: of course! ( how cute...)

...----------------...

...And that's how Albert became the 1st member of Lucian's Fanclub.......

...(and I'm the founder ofc hehe)...
