Chapter 1 - Chapter 1:The Story Before His Story

Millions of years ago, dragons and monsters were a terrible and appalling threat to the lives of humans.

They have destroyed several villages and kingdoms and have become the rulers of the world. 

None of the humans dared to kill them due to their strength difference with them.

Until one day, the gods could not endure that the world was going to be ruled by these creatures, so they sent out their messengers, who received part of their power, to cooperate and take on the obligation to save the world.

All of them were called"Heroes".

After years of fighting, they finally deafeated the dragons and monsters and brought peace to the world again. A large party was organised to celebrate the victory and the dedication of the heroes.

People from all over the world had a sleepless night. They hugged each other and sang a song of victory.

Fear, pain, and tears join in the epic song of the victory.

But it is not over yet.

The unknown dragon appeared in the north of the kingdom. Its large wings spread across the sky. Each breath it exhaled evokes the feeling of depression and fear. Everyone fell silent as the roar echoed, a warning to everybody's lives.

Its name was "Scaver".

It has an enormous power that exceeds all the heroes. Half of them died. They cannot imagine how to fight against this creature.

Fear embraces everyone as they see no hope for themselves or this world.

Even the gods were hopeless, and if they appeared in this world with all their power, they would receive punishment from "the law of cause and effect".

But when every hero gave up, a mysterious man came into the battle with a sword carved with a bird on its side.

He decided to fight this horrifying creature alone.

His aura spread out when he picked up his sword. His aura seemed to embrace everything. There was the first time Scaver looked scared.

Just in a second, the man moved to Scaver and slashed the dragon's chest. Even experiencing the initial scare, Scaver overcame easily and fought back.

The battle lasted 3 days, and the winner was the humans.

The man finally killed the dragon and disappeared.

No one knew where he was, but everyone showed a deep respect for this man, even though he did not receive any power from the gods.

"This is the end of the story."

"Wow, so he is the hero of the world, isn't he?" a boy says with excitement.

"Yes, Goron, he saves the world so that I can tell this story for you," his mom says.

"But this is time to go to bed."

"No, tell me one more story, please," the boy begs

"You need to sleep now, son."

"Fine," a boy talks with little impotent.

"Good night."

Goron's mom leaves the room with a smile on her face, leaving the boy with endless boredom in bed. 

"Huh, I will stay up all night."

But after 1 minute and 30 seconds, he falls asleep.

The next morning, he wakes up and follows the smell of food into the kitchen, and he is still wearing a white T-shirt.

His mother prepares a loaf of bread and a cup of milk for him. Goron sees a piece of paper on the table:

"Breakfast is ready, and I need to go to work earlier."

The sun is shining through a shabby window in a kitchen, and from here Goron can see lovely weather outside.

His blue eyes blink.

"Hmm, what should I do now?"

After finishing his breakfast, Goron starts to get outside.

"Think, think, think. Aha! Let's find Zeith."

A 10-year-old boy is running through the village. He crosses some dilapidated houses with broken windows, and some of them look as if they can collapse at any time. He turns left and sees Mr.Gone, who is the only blacksmith in this village.

He continues to go. He sees a group of people discussing something.

"You see, some of the villages are destroyed by a mysterious organization."

"Really? I worried we would be the next."

"Oh, I guess I need to sleep earlier at night," Goron says.

He comes to an empty field to find Zeith, because this is where they always go and see sword practitioners. 

Finally, Goron can see Zeith is sitting under a cherry blossom tree. 

Now, it is spring.

But he sees Zeith is talking with someone else.

"Wait, is that .... a girl?"
