Ravion lived with his uncle Hokmoth in a house in the forest. One cold night, with snow falling on the ground, Ravion went to gather firewood to light a fire. He said to himself:
"Ah, what a cold night! I must hurry and gather the firewood; my uncle is waiting for me."
Ravion collected a small amount of firewood and said:
"I couldn't gather much… The fog is too thick; I can barely see anything."
He then returned to his uncle, carrying the little wood he had collected, his face full of despair. His uncle noticed Ravion's sad expression for not being able to bring more firewood, and said kindly to cheer him up:
"Oh, it's good that you gathered some firewood. I thought you wouldn't be able to bring anything at all, hahaha."
Ravion laughed with him, his face brightening.
Later, Ravion went to sleep in his small room, thinking about what he should do tomorrow, and eventually drifted off. After a few hours, he heard a whisper:
" You will know the truth "
He woke up startled, unsure if what he heard was real or just a dream.
Suddenly, he heard his uncle shouting:
"Ravion! Come quickly!"
Ravion rushed to his uncle Hokmoth and found him alarmed, saying:
"It's time, Ravion… You won't see me again… Farewell."
Ravion fainted. When he woke up in his bed, he panicked and shouted:
"Uncle! Uncle!"
But his uncle was nowhere to be found. He ran outside searching and found his uncle's gloves on the ground. Holding them, tears slowly fell as he whispered:
"Uncle.."
He put on the gloves and smiled, thinking:
"What would my uncle do if he were in my place?"
With a determined smile, he set out toward the Northern Snow Kingdom to uncover the secret of his uncle's disappearance. He packed his belongings and began his journey to discover the secrets of his life.
As he walked through dense forests and many mountains, heavy rain began to fall, and darkness enveloped the land. He found a nearby cave in the middle of the mountain and took shelter, saying:
"Good thing I found this cave, or I would be in trouble now."
Inside the cave, he discovered a very old and worn sword. He said:
"Nice, I can sell this in the kingdom's market."
While taking shelter in the cave, he encountered a level H monster: a red Fire Dog. Ravion had no idea such monsters existed in his world, nor did he know about the existence of magic.
Terrified, Ravion grabbed the sword he had found and faced the red dog.
He charged at the dog, swinging the sword powerfully from right to left. Jumping into the air with the sword in hand, he struck the dog on the head with a strong blow. The dog yelped in pain and tried to run, but Ravion didn't let it escape. He stood up and ran after it.
As he swung the sword, a bright red star appeared. Ravion fought the dog as it shot fast red flames toward him. He dodged skillfully, sighing:
"I will kill you, no matter the cost."
Ravion charged at the dog again and struck its neck, cutting off its head.
He sighed, saying:
"What an incredible power…"
The sword emitted a faint red aura. Ravion, startled, was thrown back by the sword, landing on the ground as he watched the faint red glow fade away.
He held the sword, amazed at what he had seen.
Then, he left the cave and headed toward the Northern Snow Kingdom.
