——————————————————

In a small village called Valmoor, there were people doing their own daily tasks in life. It was very lively and peaceful.

Though it may be a small village, its very prosperous and full of life. The houses were simple and hand-made by the men who has the experience to build. The farms were healthy and so are the livestocks.

"HAYAAH!"

A young boy's shout can be heard inside the forest near the village. The forest is not dangerous if you don't go any deeper to it. So the boy is safe.

"YOU!— TAKE THIS!"

Another young boy can be heard. Going near the forest, there were two kids fighting each other. Their hair were disheveled and their clothes were dirty, probably from rolling on the ground too much.

"OW!—"

"HAH! You deserved it!" The boy with a healthy wheat skin, brown hair like dirt and green eyes like the leaves stated with crossed arms!

"Its not my fault that you're annoying!" Said the boy with milky white skin, obsidian hair and golden eyes. He glared at the brown haired boy from the grass.

The obsidian haired kid stood up and patted the dirt on his shorts. His clothes were like that of a noble's, a white long sleeved polo paired with a black vest with intricate designs, there was a golden brooch on his chest as well.

Compared to the noble like outfit, the brown haired kid was more simple. He was wearing a plain shirt with strings on the chest part. His bottom was a brown baggy pants paired with slippers.

"Well, you shouldn't have tripped me! You deserved being kicked!" The brown haired boy, whose name is Miro "Hmphed!"

"How dare you treat me like this?!" The obsidian haired boy, whose name is Zlatko, gritted his teeth, feeling very wronged.

"It should be ME asking you that!" Miro raised his chin to appear more superior.

Zlatko glared "Grrr...If our parents weren't friends, I would have already snitched on you..!"

"Hmph! I'm innocent"

"Innocent my butt!"

"You're just jealous 'cause you're Papa praised me for my swordsmanship skills!" Miro casually took out an apple from his pouch and ate it.

"I'm better than you!" Zlatko straightened his back and pointed to himself smugly. "I have been trained by the ex commander of the Royal Knights! I am also being tutored on how to better understand swordsmanhsip" He then points at Miro. "And you? What about you? All you do is just swing you're sword! My Father praised you to give you face!"

Miro glared at the smug Zlatko. Because of Miro's commoner origin. He could not afford to hire a tutor to teach him swordsmanship. His family was poor, but they have what they need. And thats all that matters.

"Well!— I can hunt beasts! What about you? You've never hunted a beast before right??" Miro smirked. It was his turn to be smug as the table's has now been overturned.

Zlatko twitches his lips....That was true....He has never hunted a beast before...Much less kill....He learned swordsmanship, but he has no experience...

"..Grrrr....." Zlatko was defeated. And Miro won.

Miro raised his chin up in the air. It feels so good to win.

"Grrr...Just you wait! I'll let you kneel down before me with regrets!"

"Pfft! Try me!"

The two then proceeds to have a glare off.

These two boys were childhood friends. The Father of Miro has a close relationship with Zlatko's Father, which is why these two had to meet from time to time whenever Miro's Father visits the Estate. But these two boys hate each other's guts. And the two would always compete on who is the greatest. 

this was their past 9 years ago, Now they are 20 years old. Miro the commoner kid has grown into a very tall man, over 190cm. While Zlatko the noble kid, though he isn't as tall as Miro. He is the most handsome in the town. All the ladies adore his looks, but Zlatko hates the attention....He just uses it to annoy Miro who isn't popular with the ladies.

The two actually have a very great relationship if you just ignore them grabbing each other's throat all the time. But this just shows how close their brotherhood is. One day the two was invited by their fellow adventurer to have a drink in a bar to celebrate the successful sabjugation of an orc's village that is known for attacking nearby villages.

Zlatko didn't wanna come, but Miro provoked Zlatko's pride so the nobleman ended up coming with to his regret...But he can't back out now or else Miro might make fun of him for being a coward!

"Miroooo!! Zlatkooooo!! Ya'll finally arrivedddd!!" One of their friend slurred while holding up his beer. It looked like he was pretty drunk... "Heyy heyy! Bring them their beers!! Let's allllll drink togetherrrr!!~" Their friend shouted while placing his arms over their shoulders.

Zlatko didn't like how close they were so he ended up pushing his drunk friend to Miro who almost tripped at the weight he had to carry. "Zlat what the fuck??" Miro was pissed.

But Zlatko just smirked and shrugged. He then began to walk over the counter to grab two drinks. Miro had to place his drunk friend on the floor as he began to walk over towards Zlatko. "That wasn't very nice ya know!" Miro grumbled while sitting down beside the nobleman.

"I'm not nice, so why do you expect me to help you?" Zlatko raised an eyebrow while glancing at Miro.

"Ehhh true I guess. But still!"

Zlatko just rolled his eyes before passing the beer to Miro who naturally took it and then started gulping down the beer. "Idiot! Slow down!" Zlatko scolded.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Miro huffed before finally finishing up the beer. He looked fine as he wipes his lips. Miro then turned towards Zlatko with a smirk. "I bet you can't do that"

Zlatko was pissed by Miro's provocation. Zlatko grabbed his beer and also downed it in one go. "Fuwah!~ I bet you didn't expect that huh?" 

Miro glared at Zlatko before shouting at the bartender. "Give me Four beers!" Before turning back to Zlatko. "How about we make this a competition...If you win I'll be your slave for a week! But if I win then you'll be my slave for a week! Deal?"

Zlatko let out a laugh. "You know I can never refuse this offer....Deal~"

Miro groaned as he slowly woke up. He saw that it was morning, his eyes slowly adjusted to the brightness as he began to sit up. But wait....There was a strange sensation from his behind....It felt wet and sticky.......But then he heard a groan beside him. He looked to his side and Miro's face paled like a sheet of paper. 

"Ugh....So bright...." Zlatko groggily woke up, and what he saw first was Miro looking at him with wide and shocked eyes.

".....?" Zlatko was confused. Until....He saw the marks on Miro's body....

"AAAAAAAAAAAAA!-"

The two men screamed.
