Character Introduction: Corvin

My name is Corvin.

Right now, I am a knight under Captain Zetranos in the village of Vulcan.

I am 23 years old.

My ability is that I am able to create threads from my fingers that can have a customizable strength. I am able to use it indefinitely but, it was hard to control when I was younger. That is why I enrolled in a Knight School.

It has been 1 year since I have graduated from the Quaran Knight School. I was able to learn lots of things there. I made lots of friends but, most importantly, I started on my journey to become a royal knight under the King of Anastelo.

I was born in the royal capital of the Anastelo Kingdom, Axanon. I was born in a family of commoners that was having trouble paying rent for our house. It was just me, my single mother, and my older brother Travis.

I loved my brother and mother so much.

I wanted to work hard as early as I can with Travis so that we can pay our rent and make sure that our family will become financially stable.

I have memories of the time I played with Travis. We were always so competitive with each other. Our competitions would always be silly like who could jump the highest or who can sprint faster than the other.

Travis was 3 years older than me so he would almost always win in our competitions. However, I never hated him for being better than me. Instead, I looked up to him as the person I wanted to be.

Then, something happened when I was 18 years old. My mother gave birth to a little sister that we named Sierra. With an extra person to feed, we didn't have enough money to sustain our daily life anymore.

That was when Travis dropped out of his school without graduating. He said to me that he will find a house for himself and a good job so that he can sustain himself and send money to us. He made me promise that I will protect our mother and our little sister. I told him that I will protect our family with my life so he shouldn't worry.

A few weeks later, there was news that a new royal knight was recruited. When I went to the town square to see who the new knight was, I was surprised. The new knight was Travis himself.

I was so proud of my brother for becoming a knight under the King because the success rate for being recruited was under 20%.

Then, every month, he would visit us and give us some money. Inspired by his hard work, I also wanted to become a royal knight.

Alas, that wasn't meant to be.

I told myself that I won't be going anywhere because I had to take care of my now elderly mother and Sierra.

That was when disaster struck.

A group of highly trained assassins were sent to kill the King. Of course, it was the royal knight's duty to protect the King. But, the assassins were smart. They struck during the early morning when the knights were moving to eat breakfast.

Travis was the last one to leave his shift and was the one who saw the assassins. He engaged them and fought all of them at the same time. His ability is that he can create repulsion blocks near him. He was able to capture all of them and stopped them from killing themselves so that the rest of the knights can question them later.

The other knights came in and saw Travis, who was heavily wounded, and brought him to the royal court magician so that he can heal him. However, Travis died before they were able to get to the magician in time.

The next day, one of Travis' friends came to me and told me everything that happened. I was filled with grief. Travis. My only brother who I shared everything with. Dead. He wasn't here long enough for Sierra to remember him.

So, I made my choice.

I told mother that I will become a royal knight so that I can continue the legacy of Travis. Luckily, I won a tournament with the prize being 1 000 000 Silver Coins. I gave 80% of it to my mother and kept the rest. I told stories of Travis to Sierra so that she will know the greatness of her eldest brother.

She said that even though she doesn't remember him, if I talk about him like that, then he must be a great person. She became very close with me and would play with me every time I came home.

Then, I had to leave her and mother behind so that I can become a knight. I made sure to buy a bigger house and hire lots of guards to protect my family. I told Sierra that when we meet again, I will make sure to play with her again.

Then, I set off to find a good place to work and train. I found out that in a village called Vulcan, there were the descendants of the 1st Hero, who me and my brother admired greatly.

I went there and was able to become a part of the knight squad. I made friends with some knights there like Max and Jaysen.

Then, one day during a patrol, I heard the voice of a kid talking to me. I turned around to see who it was and spotted a little boy walking by himself. I thought that a young boy walking by himself was weird so, I talked to him.

Then, everything that came after that one meeting flew by so fast.

This kid, Alex. He is the son of the captain of the knight squad stationed in this village. He is very mature but he sometimes acts his age like how he said that the tree where he wanted to build his base looked amazing. He reminds me of myself when I was younger. Trying to do his duties, even at such a young age.

I told myself that I will make sure that this kid will always be protected so that his dreams can be achieved. I will protect him like I protected Sierra. If I am able to know what school Sierra goes to, I might try to make him go there so that both of them can be friends.
