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

Captain brought Valerian to the registration counter and asked the lady standing behind, "Miss Prim, can you help register a new dungeoneer, please?"

Miss Prim raised her head to look at him. Valerian realized why Captain was being so polite to this lady. She had a cold gaze. It was like a chill that froze her soul. Valerian did not avoid her gaze and placed his hands in front of his waist before he bowed and greeted the lady.

The lady nodded slightly and said, "Your identification papers?"

Valerian nodded and swiftly took out the letter from his bag. Prim accepted the paper, and then she gave it a thorough look. She asked, "Why was this paper issued just a few days ago?"

Valerian replied, "The village chief is old, and most people spend their entire lives inside the village. I am the first person who came out, so he wrote this for me."

Shocking Pace.
