Origin

In a space darker than dark ,two beings stood. Brighter than the shining sun in the abyssal landscape.

"Do you think they can do it?"

One of the figures ,desolate and cold. Pale as the color white. Horns protruding from his head in the shape of a long crown.

He wore a white cloak that covered him from neck to toe. His face was the shape of a mask. His eyes ,two hollow voids ,almost resembling the darkness that surrounds them.

The nervousness in his voice betraying his cold aura ,as he spoke with the other being.

"They must do it. If they fail ,not only will Hallownest fall ,our entire world will perish along with us."

The other being replied back ,her body glowing brighter every time she spoke and dimming back to normal after every word.

Her body was shaped like a tree trunk wrapped with white cloth. Her hair extended out farther than her entire body into the air ,resembling a tree with no leaves.

"You are correct as always ,White Lady." He sounded like a husband flattering his wife as he spoke.

"Now is not the time ,Pale King. Though I undestand your sentiments." A stern yet understanding wife sounded back.

.....In Orario.....

A boy with black hair and a red dusty cloak wearing a white mask with two eye holes and two stag beetle horns coming out of the top of the mask.

He wielded a small nail like sword that was a little rusty and chipped. He stood in an alleyway practicing his sword swings. Perfecting his accuracy.

As he swung his nail ,his cloak fluttered along with his thin arms. Swinging his nail over and over with focus in his eyes.

After half an hour ,he ceased his almost flawless swings with slight exhaustion. Wiping the sweat off his forehead ,he walks slowly in one direction.

Arriving at a place called the Guild ,he walked into the building for the first time. His nail on his back ,he steadily walked towards a counter labelled 'Registration'.

"I wish to be an adventurer."

The boy stated briefly as he stood in front of the counter. He looked at the girl running the counter.

She had pointy ears ,brown hair ,and green eyes. She looked stern yet cheerful as I looked at her face.

"Do you possess a falna ,or are you looking for a god?"

"I'm new to Orario ,looking for a god."

"What kind of god are you looking for ,there are two types of familias. Exploration familias and Craftsman familias. The first one specializes in venturing the dungeon and slaying monsters. The second one specializes in creating various support items like weapons ,armor ,potions ,and the like."

Bombarded by information ,he looked at the receptionist in deep thought.

"Are there any exploration familias willing to accept me?"

He said stoicly ,slightly indicating his understanding of the situation of an adventurer of unknown origins.

It was hard for a newbie to join any prospering familias.

She presented a small list of several unknown deities.

Fixed a slight error.
