CRSH, CRSH! Loud crackling rang through a vast wasteland of rock and debris. CRSH, DMM! Suddenly, a body slammed into the ground, creating a massive crater. "GAAH! Damn…!" A teenage boy walked out from the crater, dusting off his white shirt, "...I won't lose!" His voice rang out with a slight hint of fear. DM! Another body landed right in front of him nearly ten meters away. As the dust settled, its figure appeared. Standing before the boy, was a pitch black massive three meter tall humanoid monster. Its pure white smile added an unsettling aura to its presence. The boy let out a sigh as a stream of blood began rolling down his cheek and off his chin, onto the ground, "Alright… I'm ready… And this time I'm going to kill you." The boy dashed forwards, raising his sword. The monster's smile widened as it leaned towards the boy, and the two dashed towards each other.
Once upon a time, nearly three thousand years before the birth of Kiliano Monfril, there was a land devoid of unnatural violence. Where war and murder had no existence, and all life held an honorable purpose. For countless years the land remained untainted. Until one day, in a vast green grassland, a teenage boy was laying down. He had on black cloth shorts and a white wool shirt. His hair was dark red, but had white roots. The boy's eyebrows twitched. His mouth wiggled and his eyes opened, "Mmph..." He grumbled, "...Wha-... where am I?" He sat up, rubbing his head. His eyes slowly moved around, taking in the scene before him, "Where am I? H-how did I get here…?" His eyebrows scrunched up, making a confused expression, "...Who… am I?" He slowly stood up with wobbly legs. At first, he used his knees as support for his arms, but slowly stood up straight, pulling his arms to his side. The area around him was a massive lush grassland with mountains in the far distance, nearly twenty or thirty kilometers. The tips of each mountain were covered in snow. The boy pulled his hand in front of him and looked at it, opening and closing it. "I found another one…!" A voice yelled out from behind him. The boy became startled and quickly knelt down, turning towards the direction of the voice. "...Uh-oh, I think I scared 'em!" The same voice yelled out. "Well of course you did. Stop screaming, Jurl." Another voice said, coming from the same direction. The boy slowly stood back up, revealing himself. There were three people standing in front of him. Two boys and one girl, each of them wearing a white shirt with black shorts. One of the boys had black hair, while the other had snow-white hair. The girl had long brown hair that stretched down to her waist. The white haired boy walked up to him with a smile and pulled out his hand, "It's nice to meet you, friend. My name is Tenkai…" The two of them shook hands. Tenkai turned to the other two and pointed at them with his thumb, "The boy is Jurl and the girl is Scecca. What's your name?" For a moment, the boy thought. Even without any memory of prior existence, one singular word came to mind, "My name… My name is Calcyn." Tenkai nodded in a proval, "It's nice to meet you, Calcyn. Please, follow us and I'll explain everything , okay?" Calcyn nodded, and the four of them began walking across the grassland. "You see, Calcyn… I'm assuming you woke up not too long ago, right…?" Calcyn nodded, "...Then you're just like us. We have no memories of anything before this, and all we really do know is our names. We've speculated that some mysterious force may have erased our memories and we're being tested. Or maybe we were just created randomly by some all-powerful god. But it doesn't really matter for now, because we gotta find as many other people as possible. If we don't then there's a good chance they could die." Calcyn became confused, "How could somebody die here?" "Unfortunately… There are countless deadly monsters that roam these lands. Fortunately, you woke up in a nonhostile place which was pretty damn lucky. Scecca over here woke up and was immediately attacked by a reptilian monster. Luckily, I spotted the commotion before it could kill her, but I didn't make it out unscathed." He pulled his left arm out, revealing a red scar that rolled down his entire arm. It was bulging out and still seemed rather fresh. Scecca walked up to Calcyn, "Just remember to be vigilant. As long as you don't let your guard down I doubt something like that'll happen to you. I got unlucky is all." Calcyn nodded in response.
Suddenly, Tenkai stopped walking, "Everyone, stay low." Just then, Scecca and Jurl ducked to the ground. Calcyn followed their lead shortly after. Tenkai took a few slow steps forward. After a couple of seconds, CRSH! Something bulldozed up from the ground. A two meter tall goblin with dark green skin erupted from the grass and ran at Tenkai. He gritted his teeth tight and pulled his right hand to his side, opening his palm. A golden light began shining from his hand, and a weapon suddenly appeared. It was a golden bident. He pulled the bident in front of him and pointed it towards the monster, leaning forwards, "Watch closely, Calcyn…!" A golden aura began swirling around Tenkai, and strong winds started pushing off from him, "...Culling Piercer!" he yelled out, and dashed towards the monster. VMM, DWOM! The ground around them shot up. The monster's body was skewered, and disintegrated, leaving nothing but its hands and feet. Tenkai stood in front of its limbs, pulling the bident to his side and turning around to face the others with a smile, "All done, guys…!" He waddled back over to them with a jolly attitude, "...So, Calcyn, what did ya think of my power?" Calcyn's eyes were wide from shock. He opened his mouth and hesitated for a second before answering, "In-...incredible. Truly incredible. I… want to become strong like that." Calcyn's eyes were glimmering with compassion. Tenkai's smile grew wider, "I'm glad to see you're so inspired my friend. I promise you'll be able to do things like that in time. All three of us can manifest a weapon like that, it just takes a bit." Calcyn looked at Scecca, "You can do that too!?" Scecca nodded, "Kinda. Neither of us are as strong as Tenkai though, which is why he's usually the one to take out monsters." Tap tap. A finger poked Calcyn's back. He turned around. It was Jurl trying to get his attention, "Just to let you know, I'm just as strong as Tenkai. I just can't use my powers as good yet." Tenkai giggled, "Yeah, because if you do it'll blow us all up. Your control is complete shit, which is why you're completely useless until you learn more." Jurl snarled, "You're just jealous because my weapon is more powerful!" "I might be if it were any use to us." Jurl frowned and kept quiet. Calcyn and Scecca giggled. Tenkai turned towards the mountains and pointed at them, "That is where we're headed. It should be bright out for another three or four hours, so let's find some shelter in a bit. We can probably make it to the mountains tomorrow." The three others nodded, and they began walking.
