How it all started

PROLOGUE

150 years ago, Earth was destroyed by a catastrophe, leaving half of the land and a little amount of water. With the help of scientists, they levitated the lands and water in the air, covering the upper part,it was just like the original Earth but not attached to it. Due to the catastrophe, various magical crystals arose from the insides of the Earth, triggered only by the scarecrows in the vast fields. Through the process of morphing, these scarecrows gained life force, making them unique creatures beyond acceptance. People began to try the morphing method by creating different kinds of scarecrows.But it would be awkward to call them Scarecrows as they were before but now they are magical creatures,so later on people named it as "Crowmorph",Crow from"Scarecrow"morph from the"morphing method from which it can be created".

Today-12.04.2018,

In the serene village of Willowbrook(in southern realm), amidst vast golden fields, lived a resolute 15-year-old named Alex Rikoza with black hair and black eyes. Surrounded by fights of legendary "Scarecrow Masters," where enchantment is as commonplace as sunrise,he aspired to follow in their footsteps.But how did he got aspired?Let me share the story

"Alex's parents were also 'Explorer level master'and had a pretty decent Crowmorph,and Alex's elder sister already had one Crowmorph with her given as gift by her parents(of course Alex's parents too),Alex wasn't quite interested in Crowmorph's,from the start but after watching his parents Enchant different types of Mantra ,he gradually grew curious and thought of becoming even greater and stronger than his parents,but his parents told him that it's not an easy path, it's better not to become a master,but guess what he was even more interested in it than before,now,with newfound determination, Alex decided to pursue his dream, aware that the path wouldn't be easy.

Alex was watching tv, a show featuring Willowbrooks masters,an Elite level master, Mr. patch was the strongest one among all of them.He was with his amazing duskflame crowmorph showcasing different types of Spells making everyone happy.Alex saw it and made his mind that he will surpass Mr.patch one day and become an "Eternal level Scarecrow master".

Alex found a remarkable spirit within himself. Patch was an "Elite level Scarecrow Master", fueling Alex's ambition. Alex embarked on his journey to become an "Eternal level Scarecrow Master".

Alex packed his bag and took permission from his parents to set out on his own to explore and win the whole wide places in the realms.

On his way when he set out he didn't knew about anything of how should he start,he was thinking all of this while he bumped into Mr.Patch.He stood up and saw that his very idol was infront him,Patch said "hey kid watch where you're going",Alex didn't mind what he said.

Patch asked Alex "Why are you in such hurry that you didn't focused on the road?",Alex replied "Well I was thinking of becoming an Eternal level Scarecrow master,while I bumped into you hahaha".Oh ho ho you want to become a Scarecrow master?that's the spirit,let me take you to the academy where you can start.

Mr.Patch likes kids who are always energetic and lively and Alex was one of them.

Hey kid do you know anything about a Scarecrow master?Alex replied "Uhh no".What?you want to start your journey without even knowing about it,Hahaha you're quite something ,ok kid I'll explain,listen to me clearly.Alex said "I'm all ears Uncle Patch".

Patch explained, "First, you must register at the 'Willow Masters Academy.' Upon registration, you'll receive a magical crystal to craft your first Scarecrow. These Scarecrows, made from various crystals, vary in size, power, and height. Leveling up your Scarecrow depends on specific circumstances. Be vigilant;Some crystals aren't easy to find."

They talked a lot, and Mr. Patch said, "Let's register your name right away." Alex was excited to register his name. At the desk, Principal Ms. Taylor was sitting idly. When Patch and Alex arrived, she asked, "For whatever reason you're here?" Alex replied, "I'm here for the registration, ma'am." Taylor gave him a form to fill up. Seeing his excitement, Taylor commented, "Wow, this boy has some potential; he can definitely achieve something." The form was filled, and she took him to get his first-ever crowmorph.

Mr. Griffin, in charge of making crowmorphs, went to buy something.

Suddenly, three people blasted into the experiment lab to steal the magic crystals. Fortunately, Mr. Patch, with his extraordinary crowmorph "Dusk Flame," went berserk and thwarted them. Alex, watching Patch from behind, felt his eyes sparkle.

Griffin returned and saw the devastated lab but remained unfazed, saying, "So, why are you here, Taylor?" She replied, "I'm here to give this kid his first crowmorph,he's quite interesting,you should definitely give him something rare."

Upon Ms.Taylor's request,Griffin examined an "Arcane Prism crystal - which amplifies magical energy and enhances spellcasting".He considered it a basic but powerful crystal and rare too,(which is typically not given to beginners),perfect for Alex's first crowmorph. Griffin crafted it with grasses, completing the process."Voila, it's ready, Alex.Now you can start your journey," he said. Alex thanked Uncle Griffin.

Mr.Griffin explained the next steps, including, entering the 'Flexible Arena' with two crowmorphs and five tokens,different realms have different dungeons, Flexible Arena is in the dungeon in southern realm.

"And also you should know the stages of becoming a Scarecrow level Master,they are:

1.Beginner level

2. Explorer level

3. Achiever level

4. Champion level

5. Elite level

6. Master level

7. Legend level

8. Eternal level

and after becoming one of the level masters you'll be able to do whatever you want.But first you should know about how some of the crystals works,some crystals works as,Fire spell(enchants fire),frost(enchants ice),wind(enchants wind),water(enchants water),there are more,you can look up to yourself when you advance your journey".

And Crowmorph's power up as they level up.If you're in a fight and your Crowmorph loses their exp,it will be considered as defeat.

Alex was grateful for the information.

Ms.Taylor asked Alex"Kiddo why don't you name your Crowmorph?Give it a go".After thinking for a while, Alex named his crowmorph "Nightgale." Ms. Taylor approved and hugged him tightly with arms locked in his neck.

Nightgale became Alex's first partner. Mr. Patch suggested using a spell to summon crowmorphs.Which was "Cryphoria",for Alex it was easy he learnt very quickly.Mr.Patch gave him a grimorie to look up about Crowmorph's spells.With goodbyes to the academy teachers, Alex set forth on his journey.

As he exited out of the academy,while contemplating of how he should fight,but nothing came to his mind,so he thought of fighting first and then understand how it's done,he was watching his parents do it but never tried it himself.

Soon,when he went a bit far from the academy,he encountered members of the Dark Crow organization, led by "Kroe." The earlier intruders, Snicker, Giggle berry, and Chuckle, confronted him, demanding his rare

crowmorph. Alex refused, leading to an attack. The next chapter unfolds Alex's response to this ominous threat.
