3 Ryudan Empire

The heart of the great Ryudan Kingdom is Ryu City, the imperial city that was resided by Hubert Ryu III and his family. The empire was founded during the 'Great Chaos' a time which is little known about due to the 'Great War' that followed it, causing the rise and fall of many empires and little history of them was left over due to the severe destruction caused by the war. The Ryudan kingdom was funded by Albert 'The Great' Ryu who fought his way to become the emperor and laid the foundations for the great empire.

As Kaiser walked closer to the entrance of the city, two guards stopped him and asked him to identify himself. Kaiser who's been raised in the forest his whole life is unsure of what to say as he's never had to identify himself but he tries and introduces himself as "Hi, I'm Kaiser and from the forest behind us" 

The two guards who were baffled by this man's introduction asked again " Please identify yourself or you will not be let in!" 

Kaiser who was unsure of what to say got interrupted by the sudden appearance of a carriage that was carrying a young beautiful woman and an old man who looked like the perfect scholar with an insanely big beard and a long goatee that reached the ground.

The old man exclaimed to the guards "Let the young man in, he's part of our group". Without asking any questions the two guards obediently opened the door."

The old man politely said "Get in the carriage" 

"Grandpaaaa! Why are we helping this country bumpkin??" said the young girl as Kaiser climbed into the carriage with the two wolves. Kaiser himself was left perplexed as he couldn't understand why the guards were very obedient to the old man but he stopped thinking about that and looked outside of the carriage window and saw the beauty that was Ryu city. 

The girl kept pestering her grandpa but he kept quiet so she instead started focusing on Kaiser and said "Who are you? you don't look like you're from here" 

Kaiser replied with a swift introduction of himself and said "I'm Kaiser and I grew up in the forest." The girl is not happy with the response and looks at her grandpa who's been known to be extremely kind and decides to give up on the situation and starts ignoring Kaiser and instead tries to play with the wolves who in return start ignoring her effort to get closer to them.

The old man introduced himself to Kaiser " I'm Friedrich, I teach magic history at the Ryudan magic academy and this is my granddaughter Iris. Don't mind her antics as she's been spoilt since a young age" The carriage carried on until it reached its destination and it came to a stop.

Kaiser thanked them for everything and quickly got off the carriage and started walking around. He thought about the conversations he had with Friedrich in the carriage about today being the enrollment day for the new students for the magic academy. Kaiser decided to give it a shot as for now he knew nothing about the outside world so starting with the magic academy where thousands of students gather each year would be the perfect place for him to start his journey. 

Kaiser took a few detours on his way to the academy where he stopped for some food with the money that was given to him by his grandmother and enjoyed all the local delicacies. Through the busy city streets, he encountered a crazy old man. The locals would call him Shaco the madman, he stopped Kaiser and said "AJAJAJA I finally found you, the son of Karl! I have been waiting for years AJAJAJAJA." Confusingly, Kaiser looked at him trying to figure out what he meant.

He thought ' Who is this old man and what does he mean by son of Karl? who is Karl? and does he know who my parents are? Oh well, I think I should just ask him "Who..."

'Poof' Shaco the madman vanished from the middle of the street. The crowd surrounding Kaiser and the once-present old man was on the move once again and it seemed like they forgot about the crazy man that just vanished in thin air. Kaiser and the cubs stood there to take in what just happened before calming down as he said to himself 'Who is that old man and what does he mean by that? Hopefully, I can meet him again and get an answer.'

Kaiser who didn't know his origin would always ask his grandma if he had parents but she would always ignore his question and just say that she was his family and after a while he gave up on finding out if he had any parents or siblings. Therefore, for him to hear someone call him the son of Karl was very strange to him as he never expected that he would have a dad. However, now that the old man disappeared he had no way to confirm whether the information was authentic or not. After a few minutes of pondering he decided to continue walking towards the academy.
