1 Prologue: Into Another World

The world of Aleria was once a land of beauty and peace. There lived billions of mystical beings throughout this large land surrounded by water. Humans, elves, dwarves, whatever you can think of, all thrived as they built their kingdoms of glory; however, all this is in the past. The ambitions of the races grew as war spilled and lives were taken. Corruption spread and before anyone realized, those who have hidden within the darkness have risen. A world could never truly be peaceful, and so those who have not shown the darkness of the world trampled through the empires and kingdoms of the world. The large land was split into separate continents and each with their own alliances fighting against the darkness. The once beautiful world began to crumble as evil flowed throughout the streams of life as more and more became corrupt. Despite they who set the world in an era of chaos as they inch closer to their goal, the races continued to show their own ambitions. Rather than trusting one another, more distrust has arisen and multiple factions fought one another for petty goals as chaos inched closer. They who have risen from darkness, they who have brought corruption, they who have brought death still march fourth closer and closer. They, the 72 demons of darkness, have destroyed all that was once beautiful. In their last hopes to save everything, the 72 gods that have been forgotten, bet they're all in 72 respective heroes.

"I wonder who has time to send such a questionable letter with this in it? tsk*"

Yue Lin, an 18-year-old student who just finished school was currently sitting in his living room as he read through the letter he received with a brief description of some magical world. He was considerably confused as to why he received such a joke letter as he was confident with never offending anyone or doing anything suspicious to receive one. Nevertheless, as a boy who loved fantasy, novels, anime, and etc. his imagination began to run wild as he pictured such a scene of chaos in his mind and himself as a so-called "hero".

After returning from his thoughts, he decided to go play some video games as he had nothing better to do. Playing games was an everyday activity for him as he found that this was the only opportunity where he could witness magic, war, and etc. It was also the closest thing that could help suppress his lust for violence. It was unknown when but, during a mugging in his early years of high school, he got into a desperate fight with the criminal resulting in his first ever killing. Usually, such an event would result in trauma but for Yue Lin, it was thrilling. The joy of punishing villains was immense and from then on, he got into numerous fights with petty criminals and school bullies. Sadly, he could not achieve anything too extreme due to the strict laws in modern society, thus dulling his excitement.

"Life is so boring, I bet a world like this Aleria would be filled with thrills and adventures, but here I am stuck in a dull monotone. I would be able to do what I wanted instead of here where the slightest words could cause a public outrage despite how minimal it is".

Feeling more and more bored, Yue Lin quickly opened his computer and began to look for something entertaining to play. Suddenly, the screen on his computer featured a very strange ad. It was strange because for some reason it was showing the so-called world of Aleria that he read about in the letter. Feeling shocked, Yue Lin attempted to close the ad but it would not disappear. After some quick contemplating, he decided to check what this add was actually about despite himself being skeptical about viruses. Continuing from the ad, he was introduced with a video. It was a visualization of everything he read in the letter.

At the end of the video, a question popped up.

[Have you ever dreamed of a world of magic and beauty?]

The question required him to type a response and for some reason, Yue Lin started typing without himself realizing as if he was in a trance.

[A world of magic would be wonderful. I would love to experience such excitement.]

After entering the response, he soon received a new question.

[What is the reason for you to desire such an experience?]

He then replied with his desires.

[The possibility to do anything, a world of chaos would allow me to live a life of chaos or order. It does not matter which but either way, I could experience more than the life I live now. The ability to crush evil would also be nice]

[Is there such as extreme when dealing with evil? Should they be forgiven?]

[Of course not, those who are evil have no rights, they should be death with any form of punishment based on their acts, to forgive is simply a foolish act.]

With this response, a final question appeared asking if he would like to live his life in such a world. For reasons unknown, Yue Lin replied with his innermost desires. Typing on his keyboard, he answered the question with a [Yes]. It was at the press of a button, he felt himself fading, he felt cold and dark. It was then, Yue Lin no longer existed in this world as he faded away mysteriously within his living room. With a simple answer to a question from a sketchy ad, his life changed for better or for worse.

....

A world filled with black was all he could see, he thought 'who am I, where is everything, why do I not remember anything about my identity?'. Confused as he was, Yue Lin decided to take time to gather his thoughts. His mind became clearer; however, he was still unable to determine who he was. In fact, he didn't even know that his name was once called Yue Lin. He did, however, remember about the letter and the world of Valeria for some reason. Being unable to move or talk and only able to think, Yue Lin just did nothing in this black world.

After an unknown period of time, his conscious disappeared and the last thing he remembered was the pain that flooded him.

Opening his eye, at last, he was nearly blinded by the light that shined, Yue Lin, at last, was able to move his body although it felt extremely different from what he remembered it to be. He felt it being smaller than usual and he also heard wailing. With his unclear vision, all he could hear was wailing and the pleasant voice of a woman.

"My son, your name will be Ronan, Ronan of the Lunarius family."

From then on, Yue Lin was Yue Lin no more, but Ronan of the world of Aleria.
