Finding the light: The beginning

"I know it's this way. But where is the exit?"

I raise my crystal lamp and start to walk around (again).

"Let this be the exit." I pleaded to determine to find the exit to this labyrinth cave.

As I walk around, a small ray of light caught my eyes. It's in front of me. The exit. I immediately go outside. The beauty and the scenery capture me.

"Whoa! So, this is the outside world."

The world is existing in a different era to begin with. Fantasy becomes reality. Magic, monsters, supernatural powers become the world of the living.

Monsters (like me) have the power that even the proud advanced technology of mankind can't kill and destroy, putting the fate of humanities at stake. However, humans are resourceful and creative. They found ways to revive the old ancient teachings way back years and years ago. These aid mankind to fight these creatures and adapt to changes. The "Old Runic" way is a forbidden practice to awaken the physical body in order to gain supernatural and spiritual abilities.

With these changes, comes also the birth of human specifies, the "Factions". The faction divides into five categories of human specifies known as the "Fighter", the "Scout", the "Mage", the "Shadow" and the "Shield". The roles of the human specify will be determine at birth. Humans who don't fall in the five factions will be label as "nomads", the normal ones.

Excluding the Shield Faction, the four factions concur a larger power throughout time. They build wide dominions and can survive in their own. The Shield Faction serves as an aid to the other factions for battles. With the other factions establishing a broader scope, Shield Faction crumbles. They only become necessary when the fight gets tough.

Due to this problem, a lot of people who belong to the Shield Faction begins to worry about their future. Without a job as an assistance for the other faction, they will be left out and starve to death. To pacify the issue, the High Authority of the Shield Faction pass and implement the "Nosh System". This system will be responsible in hiring people from the faction and pay them depending on the ranks they have; a hiring system.

With the system in place, the Shield Factions begins to regain its former glory. And that's where I am heading, to hire a "Tanker". My name is Ray and my dream is to make my name known to the world.

I enter the forest looking for the right path (again). This forest is the "Lost Forest of Ambeist", where the old deserted ruins are found and huge rocky stones everywhere. Trees with some written cravings glow.

I begin searching as I recall the saying in the old days. "One can find a lost ruin civilization based on the moss which lies on the northern side"

"So basically, I just need to find the moss, huh."

I focus then on my conquest and start to look for it in the fallen gigantic rocks. Sadly, there's none. I start to look again in a different direction and behold the thing I've been looking for.

"So that's where the moss is!"

It lies in a medium sized rock out in the middle of the forest. I approach the rock and notice a series of patterns. It's an ancient language that I can't understand.
