リュウの人生
Days passed in the small village where Ryu Haze grew up. Despite being born into poverty, Ryu had shown extraordinary talent from an early age. His sharp eyes exuded an aura different from other children his age. His father, though frail from working hard every day, always taught Ryu the importance of courage and perseverance. Meanwhile, his mother showered him with boundless affection, though she often appeared deep in thought, worrying about their future.
As time went on, rumors began to spread about King Shin, who was expanding his territory through brutal means. The villagers were terrified, fearing that one day King Shin's army would attack them. However, one thing kept the small village calm: a mysterious wanderer who frequently visited and provided guidance on how they could defend themselves.
The wanderer was Kaelion, a middle-aged man with eyes full of secrets. He often carried ancient books and shared stories about the world's past, including tales of King Toru Haze and his wife, Nia Hazel. One day, Kaelion approached Ryu, who was just seven years old, and looked at him intently.
“This boy... possesses something extraordinary,” Kaelion said to Ryu’s parents.
The father gave a faint smile. “He’s just an ordinary village boy. But we’re grateful he was born healthy.”
Kaelion shook his head. “No. There is a great power flowing through his blood. He is the heir to something far greater than you can imagine.”
Young Ryu, overhearing the conversation, looked at Kaelion with confusion. Yet, deep inside him, Toru, the spirit residing within, began to stir uneasily. Toru knew that the world beyond the village was not safe, and a great danger was looming on the horizon.
Meanwhile, in the kingdom where Nia Hazel resided, the situation was deteriorating. Nia’s aging body grew weaker by the day, though her spirit remained strong. She resolved to train the royal knights to protect the people from King Shin’s threat.
However, behind the castle walls, a grand plan was being devised by the kingdom's scientists. They sought a way to restore Nia’s vitality, even if it meant crossing ethical and moral boundaries. One of the scientists, Dr. Elara Quinn, discovered an ancient artifact called the Aeternis Crystal, said to grant eternal life.
“If we can harness the power of the Aeternis Crystal, Nia Hazel will regain her youth, and we can defeat King Shin!” Dr. Elara exclaimed with excitement.
But other researchers warned that using the Aeternis Crystal could bring catastrophe. The artifact was believed to have a direct connection to a mysterious entity named Leo Wald, a spirit known as the guardian of the world’s balance.
Back in the small village, Ryu began to experience strange dreams. In his dreams, he saw a battlefield drenched in blood and destruction. A mysterious voice whispered in his ear:
“Ryu Haze, your time will come. The blood within you is the key to saving or destroying the world.”
Ryu woke up in a cold sweat, and for the first time, he heard Toru’s voice speaking directly to him.
“Young one, I am the spirit that protects you. I am here to guide your destiny, but your journey will be fraught with peril. Are you prepared for what lies ahead?”
Ryu, with his innocent eyes, simply replied, “I don’t understand, but I’ll try.”
Thus began the great journey of Ryu Haze. Within his blood lay the immense legacy of King Toru and the power of fate that would shake the world to its core.
