Chapter 1 - Prologue: The way things are

There are those in this world who seek power, wealth, and even people. Within this world there are four Nation's that make up the land of this world, Anastasia as it is known differs from these other nations in that it is particularly rough, the people of Anastasia are mostly cruel, and they despise those who are weak or different. The current king of hero's the one whom rules over the land is the worst bastard of them all, he makes it hard for those with no power or money to live those who cannot fight shall die he says, but that's okay because when I kill him, I will bring true change to this nation it may take time but I'm going to amas an army of my own, and spread my name far and wide. My name is Stalworth, I never met my parents, so I have no last name although that's never bothered me one bit, as for my age I'm twenty-nine, I was born into this world as a battlemage a class that often made me the target of insults as it is considered in the C Tier of the class ranking scale. There are six ranks starting from F to A and lastly S also known as the hero class, just as s tier is hero, f tier on the other hand categorizes those who were born with no class, and most can only use a handful of spells if any at all, as such they are treated the worst so starvation has run rampant throughout the kingdom, those in the lower two tiers are subject to this more than any other. There are very few in this nation even still who would dare to stand against the king, my goal is to change that and re-build this nation into one where all can live, but that dream is still far away from becoming a reality, for now I must continue through this desert in search of a ruin called Ascian, it is said to contain something of value that should prove useful, it's not much further now I think. My journey has been long and brutal crossing through this desert took two weeks, and I was nearly killed by a hungry pack of sand worms in my sleep last night, but if I can just make it to Ascian the whole journey will have been worth it. The map that I discovered says it shouldn't be but another day's walk, I'm searching for a treasure of legend that is said to have been used by a battlemage long ago during the war of change, it is considered illegal to speak of the war. The sun is setting I'll have to make camp here for the night, the desert gets far too cold to continue walking through the night, for now I must rest, tomorrow I will make it to Ascian
