Narrator
Time...
Never waits for anyone.
It quietly moves forward...
Turning children into warriors...
Dreams into reality...
And ordinary moments...
Into memories that last forever.
The seasons continued to change.
Spring flowers bloomed...
Summer sunlight warmed the forests...
Autumn painted the leaves crimson and gold...
Winter wrapped Restart Village beneath a blanket of snow.
Through every passing season...
One tree continued growing.
The giant banyan tree...
Rooted above the resting place of the Legendary Dragon, Liza.
Its roots stretched deeper into the earth.
Its branches reached higher toward the endless blue sky.
Countless birds had made their homes among its leaves.
Children often played beneath its shade.
Whenever the wind blew...
Its leaves whispered softly...
Almost as if Liza's gentle voice still watched over the village.
Early that morning...
Golden sunlight slowly filtered through the branches.
Tiny droplets of dew sparkled like diamonds upon the grass.
A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of wild flowers across Restart Village.
V quietly walked toward the banyan tree.
Nethrakar rested peacefully at his waist.
The twin blades gently swayed with every step.
He stopped before the tree.
Folded both hands.
Lowered his head.
"Good morning..."
"Liza Mom."
"I'll continue moving forward."
"And..."
"I'll protect everyone."
The leaves rustled softly.
Shhhh...
A warm breeze brushed against his face.
V smiled.
"...I know."
He turned and quietly walked back toward home.
Years had passed.
V was now nine years old.
His movements had become smoother.
His swordsmanship more refined.
His eyes calmer than before.
Every morning...
He still practiced beneath the rising sun.
Every evening...
He still listened to the voice of mana.
And every single day...
He never forgot Liza's teachings.
Inside the White family's home...
Lily carefully braided T's hair.
Little T had turned five years old.
She wore a simple white dress decorated with tiny blue flowers.
Her bright eyes sparkled with excitement...
Yet nervousness quietly hid behind her smile.
Today...
Was no ordinary day.
Today...
She would awaken her destiny.
In this world...
Every child awakened their innate skill after reaching the age of five.
Some received ordinary abilities.
Some awakened rare talents.
A very small number...
Received gifts powerful enough to change history itself.
No one could choose their skill.
No amount of training could change it before awakening.

Every child...
No matter how rich...
No matter how poor...
Faced the same moment.
The moment...
When fate quietly revealed its first answer.
But...
There was only one object in the entire world capable of revealing that answer completely.
The Legendary Holy Book.
A sacred relic preserved for over fifteen centuries.
Its pages never aged.
Its ink never faded.
Its power never weakened.
The moment someone's hand touched its ancient pages...
It revealed the truth hidden within their soul.
Their true skill.
Their hidden potential.
And sometimes...
A glimpse...
Of the future waiting beyond the horizon.
Long ago...
Liza possessed a similar divine ability.
After living for more than two thousand years...
She had witnessed countless skills.
Countless destinies.
She was the very first being...
To recognize the mystery sleeping inside V's Blood Elevation.
She understood...
That his power wasn't born for destruction.
It had been born...
From kindness.
From compassion.
From a heart that wished to protect.
But now...
Liza had returned to eternal rest.
After her passing...
Only one relic remained capable of revealing such truths.
The Legendary Holy Book.
Far beyond Restart Village...
At the center of the Holy Kingdom...
The magnificent Grand Church stood proudly beneath the heavens.
Towering white pillars stretched toward the clouds.
Golden domes reflected the morning sunlight.
Colourful stained-glass windows painted beautiful patterns across the marble floors.
Massive bells echoed across the kingdom.
DONG...
DONG...
DONG...
Pilgrims from every nation climbed its endless stairs.
Knights guarded every entrance.
Priests quietly welcomed travellers seeking blessings.
At the deepest chamber...
Protected by countless holy barriers...
Rested the Legendary Holy Book.
No ordinary person could approach it freely.
Generations of Holy Knights...
Saints...
And High Priests...
Had protected it with their lives.
Not merely because it revealed skills...
But because people believed...
Its pages still carried forgotten secrets from the Ancient Era.
Secrets...
That history itself had failed to remember.
Back in Restart Village...
The White family finished preparing for the journey.
Lily carefully adjusted T's clothes one last time.
She gently brushed a loose strand of hair away from her daughter's face.
Then she smiled warmly.
"No matter what your skill becomes..."
"You'll always be our precious daughter."
T's nervous expression slowly disappeared.
She hugged Lily tightly.
"I know, Mom."
"I'll do my best."
Lily kissed her forehead.
"And that's already enough."
Nearby...
Brald checked the leather straps securing Nethrakar at V's waist.
He inspected every buckle.
Every knot.
Every piece of equipment.
Only after making sure everything was perfect...
Did he place a firm hand upon V's shoulder.
His voice remained calm.
"Protect your sister."
V met his father's eyes without hesitation.
"I will."
Brald nodded once.
Nothing more needed to be said.
Sometimes...
Trust required no long speeches.
Only a single promise.
Outside...
Restart Village slowly came to life.
Farmers prepared their tools.
Hunters checked their bows.
Children chased butterflies across the fields.
The peaceful sounds of village life filled the cool morning air.
Yet...
Almost everyone's eyes quietly drifted toward the White family's home.
Because today...
Everyone knew...
A little girl would begin the first journey of her destiny.
Every journey...
Begins with a single step.
But...
Some journeys...
Carry the hopes of an entire future.
The warm morning breeze drifted gently across Restart Village.
Golden sunlight bathed every rooftop.
Wildflowers swayed peacefully beside the narrow paths.
Birds sang happily from the branches of the great banyan tree.
For a brief moment...
The village felt even more peaceful than usual.
Outside the White family's home...
Villagers had quietly gathered.
No one had been invited.
Yet...
Everyone came.
Because today...
Little T would begin the journey every child remembered for the rest of their life.
An elderly farmer smiled kindly.
"Our little T has grown so fast..."
Another villager laughed softly.
"It feels like only yesterday she was chasing butterflies."
A gentle warmth spread through the crowd.
Every face carried hope.
Suddenly—
"Wait!!"
A familiar voice echoed through the village.
Kai came running as fast as he could.
"Haa..."
"Haa..."
"I'm not late..."
"...Right?"
V laughed quietly.
"You almost were."
Kai scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"Hehe..."
"I had to finish something first."
He carefully held out a tiny wooden charm.
It wasn't perfectly carved.
Its edges were uneven.
The paint had faded in places.
But...
It had clearly been made with great care.
Kai smiled shyly.
"I made this myself."
"It's not perfect..."
"But..."
"I hope it'll bring you good luck."
T's eyes sparkled with surprise.
"...For me?"
Kai nodded.
"Of course."
She accepted it gently with both hands.
Holding it close to her chest...
She smiled brighter than the morning sun.
"Thank you..."
"I'll treasure it forever."
Kai immediately looked away.
His ears turned slightly red.
"J-Just don't lose it."
Standing nearby...
Lyara quietly crossed her arms.
A teasing smile appeared on her face.
"So..."
"The great craftsman finally finished his masterpiece?"
Kai puffed out his cheeks.
"Hey!"
"It took me three whole days!"
Lyara giggled softly.
"I can tell."
"The carving is... unique."
Kai sighed dramatically.
"You're impossible."
Even V couldn't stop himself from smiling.
"It's a nice gift."
Kai folded his arms proudly.
"I know."
Lyara whispered playfully,
"He became confident again."
Everyone laughed.
The cheerful laughter slowly faded.
A cool breeze swept across the village.
Leaves floated gently through the air.
One by one...
The villagers quietly stepped aside.
Creating a clear path toward the village entrance.
No one ordered them.
No one spoke.
It simply happened naturally.
Because every person present understood...
This journey was important.
V looked down at T.
She nervously squeezed Kai's little charm.
Her tiny hands trembled slightly.
He smiled warmly.
"Nervous?"
T nodded honestly.
"...A little."
V gently placed his hand upon her head.
"That's okay."
"Being nervous..."
"Means you're taking something seriously."
"You don't have to be afraid."
"No matter what happens..."
"You'll never face it alone."
T looked up at her brother.
The fear inside her heart slowly disappeared.
A gentle smile returned.
"...Thank you."
V extended his hand.
Without hesitation...
T happily held it.
Their fingers intertwined tightly.
A promise...
Without words.
Brald looked at them quietly.
His voice remained calm.
"The road to the Holy Kingdom is long."
"But don't rush."
"Every journey teaches something."
Lily smiled gently.
"And don't forget to eat properly."
T laughed.
"I won't, Mom."
The horses were prepared.
The wooden carriage stood waiting beneath the morning sunlight.
Its polished wheels reflected the golden sky.
The horses stamped their hooves softly.
Snort...
The journey was about to begin.
V helped T climb inside.
She immediately looked out through the small window.
Waving both hands excitedly.
"Bye everyone!"
"I'll come back soon!"
The villagers smiled and waved back.
"Have a safe journey!"
"Good luck!"
"We'll be waiting!"
Kai raised both hands.
"Bring back lots of stories!"
Lyara smiled.
"And don't let V worry too much."
V laughed.
"I heard that."
The coachman gently flicked the reins.
The horses slowly began moving.
Clop...
Clop...
Clop...
The carriage rolled forward.
Its wooden wheels turned steadily along the peaceful road.
Restart Village slowly disappeared behind them.
The giant banyan tree remained visible for a long time.
Its enormous branches reached toward the sky.
The morning breeze moved gently through its leaves.
Shhhhh...
For a brief moment...
V looked back.
He smiled softly.
"We're leaving for a while..."
"Liza Mom."
"I'll come back."
The carriage continued onward.
Rolling toward distant mountains.
Toward the Holy Kingdom.
Toward the Legendary Holy Book.
Neither V...
Nor T...
Realized...
That this journey was far greater than discovering a single skill.
It was the beginning...
Of countless adventures.
Countless friendships.
Countless trials.
And countless choices...
That would shape the future of the entire world.
The Narrator
Some journeys...
Begin with excitement.
Others...
Begin with uncertainty.
But the greatest journeys...
Begin the moment...
Someone chooses...
To keep moving forward.
Because destiny...
Doesn't appear all at once.
It quietly reveals itself...
One page...
At a time.
