In the kingdom of Endeavia, its where the impossible dwells.

At first you'll think of it as some conquered land that sits between the Sarenta and Hecindu oceans, one filled with sweet water, the other of salty. The land is divided into seven nations, all which is ruled over by the King of Endeavia. Yes, you think that this is just some other fantasy land that comes out of the storybooks of your childhood. Well then, let me enlighten you some more.

There is a special race of humans called the Branded. Unlike other humans, they are faster than them, stronger than them, and smarter than them. But not just that, they hold a special power. After all, they are called the Branded for a reason. Hidden on their bodies is a mark that represents their power, their symbol of the Branded. No one knows who was the first, and certainly there won't be a last. No one knows who has it, or how they even get it. Some think it's a secret plague in the air, but only some are immune to it unlike the deadly Gustard Plague. Others thinks its a blessing of the gods, and find it that those who receive it are like honored knights for the heavens.

But one thing is known, it depends on them, on what they should do with their power. To live among the people as ordinary humans, or live in a life of adventure. And it they choose the latter, which most of them do anyway, how will they do it? 

Sadly, Endeavia isn't at all in the peaceful times as most people hope. These are dark times in Endeavia. Evil runs freely in these lands. People don't kill just for money, now it's just the joy of it. There are myths that a new beast was made that steals women and children to eat, when it's really just men who had tempted themselves for too long. And beasts aren't the only worries travelers would have when they take paths across the lands.

If they choose to, some people can become bounty hunters. It is the way of living, and to defend justice. No, you don't need to be one of the Branded to join. A number of ordinary people have become famed all over Endeavia of being bounty hunters, though a number of them also have been killed in the process. But if you have been mark as a Branded, and you crave for adventure and to put your power to the test.

Then I suggest you choose right...

Now.

I know we all hate those fantasy books which explain all those made up words and the way of living at just the first chapter. And the poor readers are reading it with a dumb look at their face like this-

Book: In the land of Hopscoth where the Drangedians live with the Unicorens, the Pracances were playing a simple of game of jufilian where the player must kick a trandar over the lugrands.

Reader: Wait, did I literally just skip a chapter. What the hell is a Pracances? OMG, what is happening right now?

You get what I mean? So don't worry you readers, I feel your pain too. So I'll do everything in my power (Which is awesome and a lot) to make things as simple and clear as possible. As crystal clear as a Rundarian on the Kilovian moon.

Ha, I wrote that just to see if you were reading.

You know what? After each chapter, I will go over the chapter with you so you guys can understand what I just wrote. Okay here it goes:

The setting is this kingdom called Endeavia. (I got inspired by the name by the Endeavor) There are two oceans: Sarenta and Hecindu oceans. The kingdom is ruled by the big man, the king. And the king rules over the seven nations, think of the nations like states. I will tell you the names of the nations at another time. The Gustard plague (I got inspired bu the word custard, the people get sick then blow up and look like custard. Cool right? No? Oh well.) And the Branded are like the mutants in X-Men or the benders in The Last Airbender. You get me? Cool.
