Synopsis

Pleron, a 17 years old boy, happens to chance upon a relic of the World's largest war, A Knight's cross. Though the boy was no history enthusiast, the cross was something he once heard from his history teacher, while in deep thoughts, a flash could be seen between the clouds as it neared towards the boy's head, a stray bullet, taking the boy to another world.

Chapter 1A Knight's Cross

"Urgh"

Inside a huge cave, a small silhouette, could be seen getting up, raising an arm to scratch his head.

"What is this headache?"

The boy shook his head, in hopes to clear the ringing in his ears and to gain clarity of his senses.

"Where the hell am I now?"

After regaining his senses, the boy finally took notice of the place he was in now.

"Hah! I guess this is the wonders of weeds, eh?"

Blaming the first try of the leaf he took an hour ago, the boy decided to, with heavy steps, get out of the cave.

Thik~

"Ouch!"

But while he was struggling on his footsteps, he stepped on a protruding sharp metal, between the cracks inside the cave.

A sense of stinging pain and warmth was felt in his left foot, hurriedly, he took off his left shoes and sock.

"Ah shit!"

Though the wound was small, it was certainly deep, blood trickled down to the ground as Pleron was blowing the pain away.

"What the hell is that now?"

As he was relieving the pain, the boy took notice of the protruding metal.

"Ah!"

With blood rushing to his head, he began to

Pull the unknown object with all his might, resulting in him being thrown off by his own.

"You dare!"

__________

"Ha! ha! ha!"

"FINALLY!"

After a minute of struggling, Pleron cascaded with sweat, finally managed to pull out the protruding metal from the crevice.

"Now let's see if you were worth my effort"

Feeling the cold sensation from the object filled with dust and dirt, in which he swept away with his hands.

"Woah!"

Within the boy's hands, although old and mossy, it was the symbol given only to the men with incredible feats and achievements that only 'Great' men could attain.

"A Knight's cross"

The boy groggily put on his sock and shoe, and finally decided to walk out of the cave as he stared fixated on the cross.

"Some nitric acid will take these stuck pieces of shits away"

Pleron rubbed the cross with his hands, as he walked through the thick forest on the way to his home.

'I'm pretty sure Ma'am said there were only over 7,000 of recipients that managed to achieve these'

'Which means It'll prolly give me quite a few bucks'

As the boy was intoxicated to the amounts of digits he was imagining.

A sudden flash between the clouds could be seen going towards the young boy, unseeable from the naked eye.

Lord Raven's Court

In the year 556 of the Runtallian Calendar, a war broke out in the eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Runtallia between the eastern overlord, Duke Gaverone Walruse of Regalia, and the barbarian chief-thane known as Dariun Drunzelle of the Shiradonii tribe, one of the Four Great Tribes of Norsmund, a nation that borders the Kingdom, deemed to be the land of brutes and savages. As the Duke of Regalia marches with his army to defend the disputed land of Kurlon, the barbarians have taken such an opportune moment to launch another incursion near the eastern border of Regalia near the town of Flendle, with the intention of dividing his army. However, despite accepting the town and the surrounding local lords' territories as lost cause in the war in favor of Kurlon– a newly discovered territory bountiful with veins of iron and other minerals– the Duke tasks his third son, Lord Velmund Walruse, along with his retinue, the Order of the Raven Knights, to fend off the attack. Now faced with the plight of defending the border town against a 5,000-strong Norsmundi army with his few yet skilled knights, along with an ill-equipped and undermanned militia, Lord Velmund has no choice but to fulfill his duty as a noble, relying upon his wits and his few but capable retainers to survive his first battle at the tender age of sixteen summers and winters. Contrary to his timid, youthful, and innocent appearance, however, lies his sly and scheming nature, evident by his fondness of dark magical arts specializing in illusion spells. Nevertheless, he himself has no idea of what he is capable of, and what he is destined to become. Meanwhile, further east at the frontier with Norsmund, a plot hatches to ensnare the Duke within the clutches of his treacherous vassals. Not only his life is threatened by these schemes, but his sons Theo and Varus as well. With this scheme put into motion, the Duke and Velmund's siblings, Varus and Theo, would taste fate's twisted humor, with the former meeting his demise in a blaze of glory amidst the field of battle, and the latter two vanishing in incidents shrouded by mysteries. With the death of the patriarch of Regalia and his heirs' disappearance, the young lord who was initially third in line for the succession of the ducal seat became its temporary occupant. And thus, the tale of him and his court begins… CHAPTER RELEASE: January 1st at 12:00 UTC
