In the world of Somanthra, a harsh world, filled with countless dangers lurking, ready to snatch anyone that comes into the danger's way. In this world, anything means survival, even when it comes to killing your own ally, foe, and family. In the world of mortals, lies 6 Kingdoms. Terradharn city of the Highlands, Kohara the city of Barren Deserts, Frumskogur the city of the endless forest, Shuurga, a city in the midst of the blizzards, Vatkrunt city of the uncharted swamps, and the last Forbryter city of the restless bandits. in the depths of the Kingdom, there are a portal that leads into the Outlands, land filled with flourished resources, waiting to be contested by Guilds around the Royal Continents.

In an ocean of the raging waters, a ship leads to the Royal continents, bringing people ready to take their adventures to the Royal Contines, eager to explore the world of the Albion. 

"How long do we have to endure this storm?" said by the passengers

The captain of the ship, Captain Tia shouted 

"Shut up, we have a long way to go! We're not even halfway there"

Suddenly, an unknown ship is tailing Captain Tia's ship."What is that ship?" said by one of the passengerEveryone looked behind, a ship twice their ship size getting closer to their ship.

Harpoon launched from the unknown ship, making passengers panic."THEY'RE BANDITS, CAPTAIN TIA WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!""GET ARMED EVEYRONE, WE'RE ABOUT TO FIGHT FOR OUR LIVES" as Captain Tia unsheathe her saber.

As that big ship approaches closer, Captain Tia and her crew are prepared to fight the pirates. Suddenly, a cursed hound launches to the harpoon cable surprising The Crew
"Cursed Hounds? What are these pirates captain?"
The hounds are merciless, outnumbering the crew, they rip and tear the crew until their body are detached.
"CAPTAIN HELP ME CAPTAIN" "PLEASE CAPTAIN DO SOMETHING"
Screams of innocent lifes as they're being mauled by the hounds. Trembling in fears, the passengers crying begging for the hound's mercy, results to no avail 

Last of the crew, trying to buy timeA crash noise so loud that those hounds ran back to the Pirate's ship

Last of the crew, trying to buy timeA crash noise so loud that those hounds ran back to the Pirate's ship.Relieved, the crew and the passengers celebrated 

"WE LIVED! LETS GO TO ROYAL CONTINENTS NOW"

Captain Tia, frowned and was disappointed. 

"We have another problem, our ship bow has crashed with some corals, we're about to sink, get ready to crash people!" 

The ship went full speed, heading to an abandoned island. As soon as the vessel touched the sands of that island, slowing down, but still too fast to stop, and crashed into a beach boulder, knocking out everyone in that vessel.

As one of the passengers, Zoider slowly opened his eyes, while having blurred vision after the crash, he could see the silhouette of Captain Tia, While he could not hear what she was saying, he could hear her a little bit.

-Ringing in ear-

"... Wake up... Hey you! Wake up!... Don't die on me yet kid!" Captain Tia shakes Zoider's head so he won't die. 

"Where am I?" As Zoider got up from his unconscious while looking at Captain Tia

"Thank god you're still alive, I thought I lost another innocent soul." Said Captain Tia while getting up from the sand. 

Zoider got up and checked everything around him, he wondered where he was now, everything around him was just the wreckage of Captain Tia's ship. Nothing left of the wreckage of the broken vessel, and repairs would take a long time, months or even years to fix this problem, Captain Tia and the crew are forced to look for help in the depths of the island

With nothing left, Zoider went to the refugee campfire, meeting a few people sitting on the logs, a Tall, skinny person sitting on a log warming himself up, wearing nothing but a torn up robe after the crash. That man spoke to Zoider

"Feeling lost?" As he offered a canteen of warm water to Zoider

"Kinda, my name is Zoider by the way, where are you heading to?" Grabbing the canteen of water

"I'm Omni, trying to get to the Vatkrunt, City of the swamps." 
Zoid looking at the night sky full of stars 
"Stars, they're beautiful aren't they?"

"Yeah, have you ever wondered what lies beyond the stars?" Omni asked to Zoider

"No one knows, rumor said the 'The Ascended' are the rulers of skies."

"Do you have any dreams, Zoid?"

"I have no idea, I'm still finding out who I am, and what I am going to be." as Zoid look at the campfire, Omni chuckled, and patted Zoider's back

"Don't worry, You will find what you're looking for in Royal Continents"

"Really? People say the world of Somanthra is ruthless, only the strongest will avail"

"Yeah, a harsh world we're living in now. I'll watch your back, so then I will watch yours"

"Sure, we will explore the world of Albion together." 

Omni yawned, he was getting sleepy and tired after surviving the crash

"It's getting late, let's go to sleep, we'll find help tomorrow and we'll be alright"

Zoider nods his head, Omni already fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes

"Goodnight, Omni"

Crackling sounds of Campfire, and the mystic night on the deserted island, Zoider, Omni, and the rest of the Crew are getting a rest in the Campfire, after such incident occurred
