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 and the team exited the dungeon and smoothly submitted their task results. Prim was surprised these people could complete these things in just one day. She congratulated them and said, "Now that Valerian has finished all these tasks in one go, he is eligible for a level promotion."

The young man handed her the guild card, and Prim carefully inscribed a few more seal marks. These marks were proof of Valerian's identity and level as a Dungeoneer. The team took a day off from work, and they all rested.

Although the primary workforce was Valerian, the last battle with the goblins exhausted them all. Viney lay on the couch and complained, "I do not understand why so many goblins spawned in that cavern. Someone needs to keep an eye on these critters."

Valerian asked, "What do you mean, is it not normal?"

Floor Boss.
