THE_WORDSMITH

In this world, some say, the truth and the legends are the same. One such legend belonged to the protagonist, Valerian.

Valerian was an orphan, a boy blessed with a beautiful face, and everyone around him, could not help but want to play with him, till one day a prophet passing through their town pronounced him to be cursed. 

Since that day, the destiny of the boy seemed to have changed completely, he was shunned by everyone around him, and the gazes that were earlier filled with love and affection, now brimmed with disgust and hatred. 

The constant shunning and humiliation made the cheerful child grow up to be bitter and inexpectant. On his seventh birthday, things changed once again. 

This time, it was not the people around him who went through a change, but himself. As he grew up, Valerian became a legend in his own sense. 

The people sang of a boy, who could not speak, they shed tears for a boy, who could not grieve. He came from nowhere yet he was known everywhere. 

Would you like to know this legend? A story where a curse can become a blessing? A story of sacrifice, betrayal, determination, and secrets.

Valerian, The Legendary

Valerian did not intend to go easy on a creature that was after his life. So when the beast was flung into the void, the young man moved and used the momentum from the previous blow in the ribcage. Then he delivered another punch to the body of the beast. His punches were hard and significantly impacted the beast, making it groan.

The beast was left without any air to breathe. He did not understand how this human could produce this much strength from his fists. Magical beasts were not only blessed with magical capabilities but also physical strength too. Valerian, however, did not intend to leave things halfway. He kept delivering punches from left and right to the beast's body.

Valerian was delivering all the momentum behind the punches to the body, and he had already broken up the ribs of the tiger beast. The bones had been fragmented and pierced through the beast's lungs, turning them into a sieve.

Brute.
