In a faraway land, beyond the mountain of fire, there is a remote village called the village of life. This place's existence is unknown to the majority of this world, but for its residents it is an oasis, a haven for them to escape from their daily difficulties,their home. Its a simpe small village with nothing exraordinary for a passerby to remember it but for this old man who had just passed the entrance of the village it was exactly what he was desperately searching for the past 10 years.

It was noon, the time the villagers were resting in their houses. Α heavy silence was dominating the atmosphere with only the cries of the cicadas to break the monotony from time to time. The old man was crossing the village until he reached a remote demolished house. He stopped and immediately got down from his horse. He kneeled in front of the house with tears dropping from his face. It wasn't until night that he finally raised his head and glared at the sky with bloodshot eyes. He murmured a few words and then his vision slowly turned black . His breathing was becoming weaker and weaker until it stopped completely...

"I am Vladimir, its my honor to meet you""My name is John, its my pleasure to meet you" two young voices echoed inside the room.

The one who said he was named Vladimir had long silver hair.

Coordinated with his two big green eyes and his well built body, the word handsome was an understatement for his appearance, while the greatsword he was wearing on his back was giving him a heroic feeling . If Vladimir was considered a ΄'god among the men' then John was exactly the person that the word 'average' was created to describe someone. Brown hair and brown eyes with average looks and body. The person that you would never turn to look a second time if you passed him in the road.

The two teens looked around the room curiously. The murals on the walls, the statues of the gods around them and the old man dressed as a priest in front of them were clues enough for anyone to deduce that the two boys were inside a temple.

" Vladimir and John, my name is Father Jonas and I come from the capital. From today you are both 14 years old. You are orphans raised from my good friend Antony. As I promised him I have come to offer you the chance to return with me to the capital and try to pass the entrance exams of the Imperial Academy. Although the Imperial Academy accepts commoners its the academy with the most difficult requirements to enter. Have you made your decision? Although the graduation from an academy can help you raise your status and gain achievements you can always attain them too by becoming adventurers like your foster father. "

The two boys were both found by a middle aged adventurer named Antony. They were raised together for at least 4 years. Their close relationship was well known around their peers. Although they didn't resemble each other in the eyes of others they were undoubtly brothers. To the question of the priest the silver haired teen firstly looked at his brother for confirmation and then aswered confidently" Me and John took this decision a long time ago. For our goals, please take us with you Father Jonas".
