Once apon a time, in a mysterious realm, existed a world. A world filled with incredible creatures, of various size, shape and strength. The diversity of the environment was also an incredible things. Any kind of places existed; from the highest mountain to the deepest ocean, from the hottest desert the coldest valley. That world seemed rather peaceful, you may think... But it was not.

This world was ruled by chaos. That was the primary rule. You have to battle without rest for a lifetime. Peace has no place there. It's kill or be killed.

But one being, the strongest of them all, decided with his strength and power to take over the world. This creature, being the strongest in a matter of strength and magic, succeeded in his quest and wiped out all the evil being from this world. Only leaving a few.

After his victory, an easy one you may say, the being filled the world with many creatures from his creation to live in this world and he watched then evolve and tried his best to make this world a peaceful place. He then became its God.

However, even this divinity couldn't guarantee the peace for all the creatures. And thus, the strong eventually obliterated the weak. And in addition, him being a God now, he could less and less physically interact with his creation.

To make the world a better place he gave the weak a marvelous gift: Magic...

With this, they were able to push off the strong creatures and expand their territory.

And thus, like some guntlety guy said, the world was perfectly balanced, as all thing should be.

Now that you know about this world, let's get into the story.

~/~/~/~/~/~

"Mom I'm leaving!!"said the redhead girl to her mother.

"Already?! Wait until you take this..!" the mother responded a bit suprised.

"Mom...! How am I going to need a dagger?" Asked the girl, shocked by her mother gift.

"Who knows the dangers that are waiting for you outside...."

"Ok Mom you need to calm down and I definitely don't think I'll need it" the girl said as she gently pushed back the knife.

"I just wanted to help you that it..." her mother pouted at her act a bit sad.

Her daughter sighed "You know what? I'll take it." She said as she took the dagger placed it on the back of her belt, and hid it with her jacket. Her mother got a bright smile almost at the same time.

"Aww thank you sweetie!! And also remember..."

"Be Careful And Take Care Of Yourself Because You're A Young Lady And Be Aware Of The Dangers That Are Waiting For You Outside!" her daughter said at the same time with her.

"Yes I know the song..." replied her daughter. They looked at each other before exchanging a laugher.

"My~ Do I say it that much?" the mother asked.

"At least ten times a day ever since I told you that I'm leaving, you just kept telling me that!" her daughter responded.

"I can't help! It's just want my child to be safe!" Her mother said back. She then went to tightly hug the girl who hugged back.

" I'm so proud of you.... And I'm sure you dad is proud wherever he is..."

"Yes I know... And I'm truly thankful for what you both did for me all over these years."

"Now. If I don't let go of you now, I won't be able to simply let you go."

"You're funny mom..! Well I'll be going now... Goodbye!" The girl then ran off.

"Don't forget to properly eat and to take care of yourself!! And be sure to come and visit me!" Het mother yelled

"And take good care of yourself too!" She yelled back.

"Make sure to not trust everyone you meet! Especially those who sell free ice cream!!"

"Yeah! Be careful about Mr. Garrison! He always eyeing you!"

"Hey have a safe trip them! Bye Anastasia!!"

"Bye Mom!"

And on that morning, the girl named as Anastasia started her journey as an adventurer. Ever since she was little, she wanted to be an adventurer just like her father. And so she learned how to use a sword and magic from him.

She was currently on the old town road encountering many people in the way. She finally made it to the town and she was amazed by the amount of people on working on the streets.

"I'll never get tired of this view..."

From right to left, she could heard something like "only two silver coins for this article" or "come and see how strong you are" or "you won't last 2 minutes playing this" and others.

But she had no interest in any of these ads especially the last one. In fact, she was going to a place in particular: The adventurer guild.

She suddenly got pushed by someone which made her fell on the ground as well as her backpack.

"Hey! Watch where you going!" She complained.

"Sorry..."

That was the voice of a man. She arranged her hair and she could seet the culprit. One thing in addition, he is very tall.

He offered his hand to help her up stand up. As she took it, he did not actually "helped" but instead literally lifted her up the ground.

"He's strong...."

He took her sword of the ground and gave it to her.

"Your sword..." He said as he handed her the weapon.

"Thank you..." She turned around to place it on her belt but when she went back to face him but he wasn't here anymore. As if he vanished from the existence.

"What the...."She muttered. Anastasia stood here, confused, trying to figure out where in the holy name he was gone.

"Excuse me miss, you seen confused, is there anything you need?" A voice suddenly came from behind her.

Anastasia turned around and saw a beautiful raccoon lady with brown hair wearing an armor.

"Huh... Y-Yes..! Can you tell my where is the guild??" She asked that even though she know where it is.

"It's straight this way..." The raccoon lady said.

"Thank you.."Anastasia said and contined making her way to the guild.

And soon she made her way. After the short walk, she finally arrived in front of the guild. Once inside, she walked toward the counter.

"Hello miss. What can I do for you?" said the woman behind the counter.

"Hello hmm... I'm here to register as an adventurer..." Anastasia said in a cheerful voice.

"Then let me help you out..." Then she handed here a piece of paper."Just give me your informations and everything will be settled."

Later...

"Now that it's done. You need to do some tests to see if the informations you wrote down are true or false..." The counter lady said.

"Is this really necessary?" Anastasia asked

"Yes... It's a good way to see if someone is trustworthy or not." The woman said as she got up and started searching below the counter.

"Oh ok..."Anastasia responded.

The woman then got out a strange looking stone with a spherical crystal.

"This is a the Mana measurement crystal. Now put your hand on it..."

Anastasia put her hand on it and once she did it the cristal took a bright red light.

"So your attribute is fire..." The woman said impressed  

"Now If you're ready..." the woman turned and shouted a the door behind her. "Esteban!! Can you please help this young lady with the aptitude test..." Then a guy, white haired, came out, visibly tired..."

"What is it Sophia..?" The who seemed to be Esteban said as half asleep.

"You need to do an Aptitude Test for this one here..."

"Already..!" Esteban complained.

"Yep..."Sophia said.

"Fine... Please may you follow me miss..." Esteban said. Anastasia responded with a simple "ok" before following him to a door on the left side. Once they passed the door, the entered what seemed like a backyard. Esteban then went in the middle and turned around to face Anastasia.

"*yawns loudly*  ok I'm making a three barrier magic shield... Let's see how long does it takes for you to break them... Show me what you've got..." Esteban said.

"Straight to the point are we..." Anastasia said revealing her sword and dashing toward the instructor.

Moments later...

I declare, you Anastasia a cooper plate adventurer. Here is your adventurer identity card."

Anastasia was given a wooden plate. She took it and quickly thanked the lady.

"Now that done, let me suggest you on some missions that you could take..." Anni said

She got a paper, with all the missions that she could do. Seven of them to be exact. They were all about exterminating low difficult monsters.

"I'll take your entire stock then!!" Anastasia scoffed smacking the table.

"Sorry but the maximum of missions one can take for your rank is 3.."

"Don't worry!. I'm a swordwoman and I can use magic!

"As expected..! You have high spirit." The woman though to herself for a moment before she spoke again. "Now that I think about magical swordsmanship is pretty rare."

"It is??"

"The only one I know is very famous in this country. He was one of the famous 12 holy knights"

"Who is he?"

"If I remember well, his name is Tendo Vormir"

"Oh...."

"It's really a shame that he has disappeared on the holy battlefield two years ago...."

Anastasia looked down. She seemed sad.

"Is everything okay miss?" The lady behind the counter asked confused about her reaction.

"I'm fine.." She lighted up her mood. "Well if you excuse me, I need money!"

She then walked toward the exit.

"Have a safe trip!" said the counter lady.

Once she was outside, she looked at the sky.

"Time for some fun!!"

~~~~~

"Dear God you ugly!!"

Anastasia was fighting a horde of goblins that was threatening a small village near the town. She summoned a fire ball in her hands as she yelled "Fire ball!!" (obviously) and she throwed it at the goblins. They immediately were set into fire as they burned into nothing but crisps.

"On that this mission done..." she said as she swing her sword on the side to wipe off the blood and put it back in the sword cuff. "Let's go to the last one..."

She had finished most of the missions she accepted in a period of two days and there was still one. She took of her pocket the last paper and readed it.

"And now the last is about eradicate an unknown beast that are destroying the crop fields on another village. Sounds great!"

Later...

The villagers explained her about the mysterious beast. They said that her taniere is in the deepest part of the forest. And now she was currently walking in the say forest looking for any terrifying beast. She has been extra careful for any smell, noise or any move she made.

"Where are you monster?" She said to herself as low as possible.

And snap! The noise of a broken stick alerted the young lady. She drawed out her sword and went in a defensive position.

And out of nowhere, a giant paw went to crush our adventurer. Hopefully, since she was far trained for this kind of situation, she dodged the attack and landed some feets away. She could now have a good look of that creature. It was a beard looking one with gray fur and and a long snake as a tail.

(It can be whatever you want. As long as you have imagination! :>...)

The beast growled at our adventurer but she wasn't afraid at all. In fact, she was actually how we called being all fired up according to a certain dragon slayer.

She switched from the defensive position to an offensive one. The beast roared at her as she dashed toward it. He bear trew its tail at her but she dodged it in time and then went to slash to side of the bear. It was a good hit the sword seemed to not penetrate its skin.

"You're a though one, aren't you?"

The bear rushed to her and smashed its paw on the ground another time. She climbed on top of a nearby tree and jumped on top of it to try slashing the back of its neck. But it failed once again.

"Just what the heck are you?" Her sword didn't even entered the skin.

But she wasn't aware of the giant tail that was coming for her. She tried to block the hit with her sword but was sent in a bush.

The bear then walkes toward the bush only for it to be stopped by the sudden burst of light of an explosion. Anastasia got out with flames running around her sword and on some spots of her body.

"I'm getting serious..." Anastasia said as she went again in an offensive position. As the bear rushed toward her, she dashed on its side and went for its throat. With the fire, her sword did penetrated the skin but even with this, she used all the strength she had to properly land a critical hit. And with that she sliced its throat. The bear soon heavily fell on the ground, dead.

"I did it!!" Anastasia yelled as she sit on the ground, tired as hell.

At the end of this battle, Anastasia was the winner. The fact of conducting her powers through her sword let her out of energy for a long time. And it's without talking about the few bruises she got. In other words, she won't be ready to fight for at least the rest of the day.

She struggled to got up and started walking. She grabbed the side of her abdomen in pain. She went to sit against a tree.

She got out of her pocket a healing potion. At the moment she was about to drink it, loud and heavy steps could be heard behind her. The sound of tree being crushed could be hear too. As she peeked to see what it was, she quickly went back behind the tree.

There was another bear, but he was way bigger than other one. It was all black. It seemed that it was the parent of the "small" one she just killed since it was sniffing the dead body. She then slowly started walking away from it.

And since sometimes life is a bitch, she stepped on a stick, making a loud sound. She gulped as the bear slowly turned his head toward her.

She then made a run for it with the bear chasing after her. She turned her head and saw its giant tail coming for her. Because of the suprise and her fatigue, she barely just had the time to block the hit with her sword. Hurt, she couldn't do anything miraculous against this extremely powerful blow and she got hit and send feets away along with the breaking of her sword.

She hit the ground multiple times. Suddenly she felt nothing but air. She realized that she was felling of a cliff and not a small one. Hopefully she got time to grab a root which was hanging from the cliff with her broken sword in her other hand.

She tried to pull herself up but she was too weak. In fact, she could feel blood running down her body. The multiple shocks also ripped her clothes.

For the worst part, she started feeling dizzy. "Oh no I'm passing out...." Her grip grew weaker and weaker second after seconds.

"That's so unfair...." She eventually lost her grip and started felling. Soon her eyes slowly started closing and she passed out from blood loss.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

.......

"Where am I?...." Everything was dark around her. "Oh yeah that's right, I'm dead...." She sighed.

"If only I was more... *sigh* let's just accept it...." Tears started coming out her eyes.

"No one will ever find me..... Mom will never know what happened to me..... She will wait for a return which will never come..... I'm so sorry mom...... "

"Even if a bird fall, as soon as there still heat, it will got up and fly again." A feminine voice said out of nowhere.

"Huh?

"The sunlight is always sign of life" the voice added.

"What the?! Who's that?"

"The flammes of a mortal will never run out if there's still a int of light..."

"What? What do you mean?!!"

"You stupid! I'm just telling you that you aren't dead!" The voice yelled back. "Fricking teenagers I swear....."

She didn't understand .

"Now.... WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!"

Her eyes quickly opened but they were waiting for the blurriness to go.

Once it was gone, she lifted got up from where she was laying and looked at her surroundings. It was the night. She could hear the fire cracking behind her. But she didn't payed much attention. She touched her body only to feel bondages all over it, even next to her private areas. That made her blushed from the thought that someone saw her almost naked.

She soon was able to distinguish a silhouette in front of the fire. But who was it? She searched through her jacket and pulled the dagger her mother gave her earlier. She slowly approached that person, pointing the dagger toward him.

"You should be thankful after what I did for you...." The person suddenly said and by the voice she could tell it was a man.

"Who are you?" She said suprised and scared that he notice her.

"I'm the guy who saved you from that." he said pointing at his left.

Once she saw the thing he was pointing, she felt back in fear. It was the bear beast that almost killed her. But it wasn't moving at all. She got up and walked on the side to see that the monster got decapitated and it was a clean cut...

"D-Did..... Did you k-killed it?" She asked, scared.

"Yes... I did.." he said still looking at the fire.

And then she instantly felt a huge fear from that guy "Who the hell is he." With her fire power she struggled like hell to even sliced the throat of the child and this dude just decapitated the big one and it was sure that it was a A LOT tougher than the small one.

"Put you dagger down and come to eat. I don't want you to starve on me..."

She went beside him and she was able to clearly see how he looked like: he had a (f.c) eyes and hair of the same color but slightly darker. He was wearing dark clothing which were a long jacket that went below his knees, shirt, pants, boots and gloves. She thought he would be very scary, but his face was friendly. She felt instantly calm once she seat next to him.

He was grilling a meat she didn't knew the nature even by the smell. But one thing for sure, it smelled hella good. He took off a piece and handed it to her.

"T-Thank you..." Anastasia took the meat and once she bit on it, it instantly melted in her mouth. It was delicious.

"Glad you like it." He said and went back at looking te fire.

"You don't eat...?" She said to him.

"Unlike you humans, I don't especialy need to eat to survive..."

"Oooookay..." she said not especially sure to understand.

"My name is Anastasia... And what's yours?" She asked.

"Just call me ....(Y/N)...."

"Then... Thank you (Y/N)...."
