Chapter 2 - The Land of Gods

At the very far end, beyond ranges of mountains, lush forests, and lifeless deserts, a glorious radiance of a kingdom could be seen.It was "Ten no Kuni", the Land of Gods.

For more than 2,000 years, it had stood proudly among all others. The icy mountain tops surrounding it and the crystal waters flowing in the Inochi River did not just beautify it, but also protect it.

The people of the kingdom never cried from hunger and never died from war. Laughter and happiness were the only things to be seen among them.

Even the summer, winter, autumn, and spring passed smoothly through the years, never becoming a burden to the land.

The people had a caring, wise, and powerful king whose duty was to maintain the peace and happiness of his citizens.

He commanded a great army led by ten captain warriors who helped him fulfill his responsibilities.

The ten warriors, or the "Kooyoosha", were unmatched in strength and power. No enemy could ever stand a chance against them.

All warriors and fighters were divided into several categories.Those who used magic were called "Sorcerers".Those who wielded swords, shields, and armor were called "Knights".Beside them, normal citizens, fighters, and soldiers lived peacefully in the kingdom.

There were also people once renowned for their unmatched sword skills. They were known as "Kengami". But mysteriously, these special sword techniques vanished from society without a trace.

No one had ever tried to revive these skills—nor did they even know what they truly were.

The most impressive and important aspect of the kingdom, however, was its ranking system. From None to Grand Master, every warrior and fighter was ranked according to the power they possessed.

One day, in a quiet corner of the kingdom, in a small cottage… the cry of a newborn baby echoed through the air.
