This world is amazing, it has so many wonderful landscapes.
It looks like a fairy land where humans and magical creatures live together.
Kinno
And these creatures doesn't seem to be afraid of humans.
Kinno
It's getting late, I should better go back to the inhabited area.
I can't find too many useful informations here.
Kinno
Good morning there sir!
Can you provide me some info about this place?
You see, I'm a travelling merchant and this is the first time I'm coming in this village so I'm a bit lost.
Passerby
Oh..good day to you traveller!
This is Emarald village because as you can see is rich in flora.
It's a blessed place.
If you want to know more about this place you should go in the central area where is the village's library and also the elder's residence.
She's a great goddess, the goddess of flowering plants..., goddess Xiluan!
Kinno
Oh..I see...
Thank you very much mister!
Passerby
Don't mention it!
Happy to help!
Kinno
The elder's residence is near the house where I woke up.
Maybe she knows me, I mean Kinno...
Kinno
Greetings to you my lady!
It's a pleasant morning.
Village elder Xiluan
Oh...God...
Kinno....
You woke up...
You're finally awake my child!
Kinno
....(Does she know me?)...
Village elder Xiluan
You look surprised...
Of course since you don't know anything about this world.
I can answer to all your questions.
Come with me.
Village elder Xiluan
You see...this world is connected with another world.
It's like a dream for the other and the other is a dream for ours but none of them are illusions. They are both real.
In these worlds are people with two consciences who happen to live in the both worlds because their soul is divided in two. Half of the soul is in this world and half in the other but sometimes they merge. This happened to Kinno thirteen years ago, her conscience merged with yours and left her body. The same thing happened to you.
During this time the body doesn't disappear, it just falls asleep.
And its growth is different in the both worlds.
Kinno
So that means that Kinno's conscience is in my body?
Village elder Xiluan
No...
Your body is asleep but the time passes slower in your world. One hundred years in "Seven Realms" is equivalent with one day in your world.
So you can stay as much as you like here, your body there won't decay that fast.
Kinno
It's amazing!
This world is named after the book I wanted to read last evening.
Unfortunately I felt asleep.
Village elder Xiluan
It's close, the time when this world needs a saviour again.
That's why you're here now.
Before you, your great-grandfather was the chosen one. You share the same fate.
Kinno
Ok..but how do I know Xuan?
He looks similarly with a friend of mine so I have the feeling that I know him but I'm sure that this is the first time I saw him in this world.
Village elder Xiluan
Xuan is the same as you.
Your friend in the other world may be him.
He knows you since childhood.
You both were usually playing together.
Actually this soul merging process lasts for a short period of time but in your case it lasted for thirteen years.
So for these years Kinno's consciences was with you.
Haven't you felt different?
Kinno
Actually yes..
In the last period I had strange dreams about other places but I thought that they're just dreams.
So Xuan is the same...?
Village elder Xiluan
Yes he's just like you but he can do this process more often and that's why he also keeps the memories of the both existences.
Actually he's like a guardian for you so he needs to protect you in the both worlds.
Because you're destined to save this world.
Kinno
I'm Linn...
My name there is Linn and he's Xiang.
And I'm also Kinno...
Kinno
Then what's going to happen with this world?

Village elder Xiluan
A long time ago this world was united. All the living creatures where coexisting together in harmony untill one day when someone ruined the balance.
This world's source of energy was the mana collected from nature by the crystal core.
Someone wanted to steal the crystal and use its power to rule over the entire land but in this attempt the crystal was broken and shattered in seven shards.
After this incident the land divided in seven realms.
Ice realm, Water realm, Earth realm, Fire realm, Wind realm, Underground caves and Sky land.
The most balanced terrain is the Earth and Wind realm.
In the Earth realm are living a multitude of species and in its continuation, on the top of the cliffs, is the winged tribe.
In the fire territory are the creatures who use as primordial source the fire.
It's called the land of the demons but they coexist with other species too.
Well..you understand how it works...
The Sky land was initially inhabited at the beginning but later it became the land of the gods or immortals.
Those people who after thousands of years of cultivation on the ground reached the state of immortality.
Later these gods made an expedition and recollected the crystal's shards.
Every realm received a shard but because none of the regions are well balanced, sometimes conflicts arise.
And recently there was an imbalance in the flow of mana.
In the past your ancestors also resolved this kind of disturbance.
In this world you were born form a white fairy fox spirit and a human, while Xuan from a celestial dragon and a human. That's why you're in the Earth land. Above us there are the Sky Land isles floating in the air.
It's a world of demons, gods, humans, monsters and mixed races.
Kinno
I understand now.
Should I look for Xuan?
Village elder Xiluan
Don't worry, he will find you.
Prepare for your journey.
You must go to Sky Land and attend the Celestial Academy.
There you will find out more about what's happening in the world and the head master will select a group of heroes to go on this expedition.
Kinno
But how can we go up?
Sky Land is floating among the clouds. You can't even see it from down here.
Village elder Xiluan
Xuan can fly.
It's a celestial dragon and fortunately he already reached the transformation level.
Village elder Xiluan
Ascend the Wind land's cliffs first and then go up.
