La Mort De La Fleur

Since I can't still go out of the city because of my low lovel, I went to the city's library to get information about Anthora.

It was easy to find them because they are divided into sections- history sections aren't hard to find. They're usually the section where no traces of people cannot be found.

I sat to one of the chairs at the centerpoint of the library and read the books that I've found- History of Anthora and Branches of Hearths and Magius. I've decided not to hide at the corner where no one can see me since the three might be looking for me right now because it's better to ask for help when a lot of people are around you.

"You need glasses?" The librarian, I heard people call her Ms. Vinia, asked.

"What's that for?"

"Ah, this will help you to read faster. A page will just require a second to read if you have these. We're just renting this though...." she explained. I looked at the item.

"How much?" I asked. "Just one silver coin." I gave her the money and she gave me the glasses in return. "Where can you buy this kind of glasses?"

"Hm? You can find this at a variety shop or a bookstore which is at the eastern part of the city. That's where every shop is resided." She said. "I'll now take my leave, mister." I nodded and she left.

I started at the Branches of Hearths and Magius. I need to learn magic as soon as possible.

I wore the glasses and started to read. After about 15 minutes, I finished the book. Well, that was fast.

The main points of this book is that Hearths are what people called their own identity as a living being. This helps all kinds to know their limitations and strengths and their standing in life. Hearths obviously causes discrimination, that was solved by the palace by laws.

This can be obtained through Calling, which is available in every Central Mansion, where the royalty who rules the city resides. This mansion is where the items from the dungeons and other places will be bought and sold. This is also where the adventurers take in quests.

There seven kinds of Hearths in the world. In summarization form the book without explanations, they are :
Angels, demons, ferals, wolf blood, elves, dark elves, and humans. Humans are free souls- they can pick any two kinds of Magius that they want, unlike others who already have one because of their Hearth, leaving them one slot to pick their choice of Magius.

There are one being under humans that are considered to be a Hearth which is a Royalty, a special kind of Hearth. They can only be a royalty when they have the blood of Roah, the first and the last king who ruled the world Anthora. Royalties are known for their infinite Magius- it only means that they can master all of kinds of Magius , unlike other Hearths who can only master one or two. There are only three recorded Royalties, since royalties have freedom to marry anyone, which makes their descendants' royal blood decrease, considering them not one.

The first being who tried to master three kinds of Magius, namely Harbor Estes (a wolf blood) died due to too much magic in his body.

Magius are states of magic that will enhance certain skills when picked. Usually, rookies only thought that Magius can only be applied to humans, bu actually, it can be applied to everyone. This can be obtained through Wishing, which is available in every Central Mansion, where the royalty who rules the city resides. This mansion is where the items from the dungeons and other places will be bought and sold. This is also where the adventurers take in quests. Wishing can only be done two times. Obviously, a royalty do not need this since their Magius is automatically recorded to infinite.

There are a lot of kinds of Magius. In magic, there are sages, priests, witches and mage. Mages are known for mastering all elements with ease except for death, poison, heavenly and holy magic. Sages are known for their magic to be neutral- no element at all. But, they can strengthen their magic using physical strength. They can also cast without wands, books or staff. Witches are focused on death and poison magic, while priests are focused on holy and heavenly magic.

In Swords, they can be a swordsman, warrior, or knight. Daggers can be applied to a assassin and a thief. Gauntlets and other kinds of guns can only be applied to a gunman. Their bullets can cast all kinds of magic, but only one kind of spell- element bullet, obviously. There are also shield bearers, summoners, and archers, which is a specialty of elves. These are the Magius that are usually chosen by people. There are a lot more though.

I opened the second book that I've got and read it. After another 15 minutes, I l finsihed it.

Well, according to the book, Anthora was made by the people without magic's wishes and dreams- the people of Earth. When the world of Anthora was made, its core was tied to Earth's own core, making the two worlds be one, just like twins. But magic from Anthora was making the people who resided from Earth scared and in confusion.

The people considered the beings resided from Anthora monsters. People from Earth killed a lot of people from Anthora, about one half of the population of the world. Anthora just wants peace and unity within the two worlds, but they've had enough. They do not kill any earthlings because if they did, they are no different from them. That is why Roah, who was only a lone adventurer who has no family for they were tortured and killed by earthlings infront of him, decided to stand up and lead Anthora to erect a barrier, a veil that divides Earth from Anthora.

He has a special magic called Mind Control, which was given to him by the Goddess of Courage, Pesria herself, which he used to erase all the memories of magic from the Earthlings, causing him to enter to a deep slumber for years due to overuse of his magic reserve. Right after he woke up, the people demanded him to be the king, and that's what he did.

After a lot of years, he was happily married to Elena, and had seven sons. After the king and queen died, the seven sons decided to take one continent to rule over.

Then, what's the problem about this world? It looks so peaceful and all. I decided to go to the counter and asked for help.

"Hello," I greeted Ms. Vinia. She greeted me back. "Where can I buy a copy of this?" I showed her the book. " That book can only be found at the capital, which is very far from here. But I can make you a copy right now." She said. "Since you have much potential, I'll give it to you for free."

"Oh, thank you." I said as she gave me the copy while giving her the original book. I put it inside my item bag.

"Thank you for coming, please come back next time!" She said as I walked out of the building. This will be the start of my training.
