Background

This is a magical world where practicing magic is common.

The so called magic had spread far and wide across the whole Arena continent. There was no one who did not know the existence of magic. The application of magic had taken deep root within the daily lives of the people.

Most common magic were fire, water, wind and earth. Almost anyone could use them with just a little practice and guidance i.e. unless one had zero talent.

Light, Darkness, Lightning, Ice, Stone, Storm being the variants derived from the basic elements.

The mysterious form of magic were that of time and space. A mysterious magic that could perhaps change the whole fate of the world if the secrets were to unfold.

No one really knew the consequences of the magic or even how it came to be. It seemed as if the existence of magic was natural. No one knew who the founder was, nor did anyone know the reason as to why they were able to use the magic.

Many had questioned "What is the true form of magic and why did it appear?" But none were able to answer the question even after dedicating their whole lives to search for the answers, All they could provide were some hypothesis such as: 'Magic appeared to make our lives easier.' or 'Because the world felt the need of magic to prevent something from happening in the future.'

Many discussion and theories were made without conclusion. Even the famous magic academy 'Arena Academy of Magic' had been pursuing the reason behind the existence of magic.

Leaving those complicated background aside, the story starts in the city of Mist, located in Jewel country. You ask what and where it is?

Well, right in the heart of the Arena continent, which is the main focal area the story revolves around, there was a nation in the middle of it in the shape of a beautiful gem stone, thus, it was named as Jewel country.

The first incident took place in the city of Mist, a small and beautiful city in Jewel country. As the name suggested, the mist city was truly surrounded by mist in it's outer edge of it's valley only and reflected colors of the sun. The rainbow colors danced on the top of houses, streets and shops making a beautiful scenery.

There was a legend on how the city came to be. It was said that a powerful magician cleared the mist out of the valley to cultivate here. But he didn't want to be disturbed and so kept the mist lingering outside the valley. It was truly a miracle that even after thousands of years had passed the mist kept lingering around the valley but never descended or dispersed.

Within this city, there were many hidden powerful families. Among them, many families were low-keyed. They didn't expose themselves to the world, nor did they vie for the power. After a period of time, their existence became so vague that no one believed they existed anymore...

Speculations will be speculations and rumors will get distorted as it spreads. Thus no one believed in the hidden powers anymore. But no one would have imagined those very families were living their lives like ordinary people, some rich and some poor.

Hall family was one of those hidden families, who were rich, and... a bit too lively at times...
