The Five Kings: First Step

Based on the title of this story, you probably assumed that this was going to be something about knights and dragons and all of that stuff.

Good guess, but no.

This is the story of a boy who wakes up to find himself in a prison cell, with no idea who he is, where he is, and what he even did to land up in jail or anything that happened to him beforehand. That is until a woman who works for the prison walks up to his cell, giving him two options.

Stay and rot in prison.

Or, help her complete these so called "trials" by unlocking them and in return her breaking him out, allowing him to regain his freedom.

And so of course he chose to go with her, but to his surprise the girl who broke him out and many others have supernatural powers called Blessings that allow them to do- well, supernatural things.

They then embark on their journey, with many fights and adventures ahead of them in a highly advanced territory called "Hopian".
