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 waste any time and picked up the easiest mission to get a feel of the Dungeon. He was calm as he walked through the city. He did not mind the people gazing at him. The young man found that many people were gathered at the so-called entrance of the Dungeon.

The city square had a single-floor building; many people came out and went in. Valerian followed the queue of people going in. Soon, he came to the entrance, and the guard asked, "Your guild card."

Valerian handed him the card, and the guard was surprised. He asked, "You do not have a party?"

The people in the queue all looked at Valerian in surprise. Some people wanted to see what kind of person would go in alone, and some had hidden intentions. However, Valerian took out his knife and said, "I have a knife. Do you want it?"

The guard was startled, and Valerian said, "If anyone inside the dungeon attacks me, I will pass your name to the guild hall."
