Enchanted World

"I've meant to ask you this for a while. Brat, what is your name?"

"Um, don't know? Amnesia, remember?"

"Ugh. Do you even know where you are?"

"In the middle of nowhere with a grumpy old man?"

"I'm too old for this shit"

"Oh, sorry about that, I want some change of moods… hehe... Honestly, I don't know where I am or what am I doing here, I woke up in the middle of an unknown forest"

"I see, wanna learn about the world where you are?"

"Yes"

"Then, first call me master"

"Old man"

"...Master"

"Gramps"

"Tsk… Alright, You are at the Forest of Jura, which is part of the Kingdom of Valier"

"Vallier? There is a Kingdom? So, there are royalties in this world?" I asked gramps with excitement all over my face.

"Yes there are"

"And?"

"And what?"

"Are there any kingdoms?"

"Yes"

"How many? Where?" My eyes were twinkling as I asked for gramps with eagerness.

"You won't leave me alone till I tell you right? You look like someone who will leave like a wind after hearing what you intended to hear."

"Of course, I won't leave, Hurry up and tell me, Gramps"

My tension was heightened. This fantasy world is one of my foolish dreams.

"There are four Kingdoms and one Beastmen Country in this Enchanted World, and this is a personal world of a higher being"

"Higher being? As in Gods or Goddesses?

As soon as I heard it. A certain foolish plea of mine just resurfaced in my memory 'if there is a god or goddesses out there please make my life entertaining' Is this "Higher being" just did exactly that and sent me here? Well, guess I should be thankful, to whoever made this happen.

"Yes. This world was created by a higher being about one thousand years ago. There are four major Kingdoms: The Kingdom of Vallier, the Kingdom of Euryphaessa, The Holy Sword Kingdom, and the Elven Kingdom in the Great Forest of Bolenan. There is also a Beastmen country, but it's a little more complicated.

"Humans are native creatures to this world and they were made diverse and attractive for some reason"

"For some reason?"

"Yes, I don't understand the intention of the owner of this world"

"I'd love to meet whoever it was, creating this wonderful world. And then?"

"Then Elves, They are secluding themselves in their forests and rarely seen outside their forest."

"Why? Can I meet them? I want to meet some pointy ear beauties"

"You can meet them, but they are not interested in humans."

"Oh! Well, I will visit it, when the time comes"

"Beastmen are divided into a large number of different nomadic tribes."

"Is there a tribe that hates humans?"

"There are some tribes that dislike humans of course, but they mostly dislike everyone who is weak or not a part of their tribe.

"I see"

"There are always a lot of them who travel the world looking for mercenary work and strong mates. They generally scorn weak people, but they worship strength. They rarely care who you are, as long as you are strong. "

"Do you have any questions to ask?"

I instantly raised my hand "Important question!"

"What is it?"

"Are princesses heavenly beautiful?

"Do beastmen girls have animal ears?"

"Do elves have long ears? Are they hot?"

Gramps suddenly knocked my head and shouted "Fool! I am serious here, and that brain of yours is full of perversion?"

I scratched my head and answered "What's wrong with that Gramps? That was important for me"

"Yes, it's indeed an important question. Let me answer them in order…

Gramps grinned and thumbs up "Yes. Yes. Yes. Hell Yes!"

I was taken aback by the enthusiasm of the old man "But you know what, brat? As you are right now, no one would ever look at you. Focus on the proper things!"

"Ugh… A-alright"

"So, if you want to meet your bunny ear or cat ear onee-sans. You need to become stronger."

"I see...

I suddenly noticed something and said "By the way Gramps"

"Hmm? What is it?"

"So, You like bunny ears and cat ears huh?" I asked him as my lips curve into a grin

"Hmm? What are you talking about?" Gramps shamelessly turned senile

"Tsk, Shameless Old man"

"What did you say?"

"Oh! It was nothing, anything else?"

"Right, When you got a woman or friend that came from the Kingdom of Vallier and went to the Holy Sword Empire be careful"

"Why?"

"The Kingdom of Vallier and Holy Sword Empire had a very tense relationship for a long time ago. The Kingdom of Euryphaessa always played its role as a peacemaker, but they could only do so much. Well, there was no open hostilities since the last war, when the Apostle was sent by higher beings to stop this foolishness. They crushed both armies in the process and disappeared right after.

"Hmm… it seems like the Kingdom of Eurue… uhh…

"Euryphaessa" Gramps corrected me

"Yes, They seem to be good people. Is there a female angel living there?

"Look for it by yourself."

"Stingy"

"And also, there is a Forbidden Zone on the borders of each Kingdom. Except, Euryphaessa's borders for some reason.

"Forbidden Zones?"

"Yes. You can't go to another country without going through Euryphaessa or using a portal. Well, unless you are very strong and even then it's a very dangerous place

"Between Beastmen country and the Kingdom of Valier, there is a huge-ass mountain range and you can't even see the tip of it."

"What? Can I climb it?

"If you don't value your life you can go there"

"Ugh... And then?"

"In between of Vallier and the Elven Kingdom, there is a Swamp of Death"

"Swamp of Death? Sounds ominous"

"It's a swamp made from darkness energy, and full of resentment of those who died here.

"Yeah, sounds like 'Forbidden Zone' to me.

Gramps nodded "Next is right between Elves and the Holy Sword Kingdom, there is an all-year-round deadly storm that can shred you to pieces."

"And last, but not least. Between Beastmen Country of Holy Sword Kingdom, there is a cold zone that can freeze you instantly to death. Oh, and if you thought about going around those zones via sea route, there are sea monsters that sink all ships that are too far from the coast.

After gramps ends his words. I gulped down loudly, these Forbidden Zones are dangerous. Why does the owner of this word do something like that? Is there any point in it? Should I go there? I might find a good treasure. But then again I shook my head and put it at the back of my mind. What is the use of a treasure if my life would be a goner?

"What else?"

"That's all. If you want to learn more, become stronger and see it all with your own eyes. Now get yourself together, It's time to start the training."
