Chapter 1; The Nameless Orphan
"In the sky toward the brightest star.
You will find the place where the compass that never point at the north takes you in the darkest sky. In desolated land where her cries echoes and every ache she felt will destroy their very last Hope. Only the book of evermore will light the beautiful sky that once lost it's light."
That is what is written in the porno magazine and right now, he knows that it is something that is not meant for him to see, he don't know but he could feel it, something that is called intuition.
Sigh*.
Sigh*.
Sigh*.
three consecutive sigh was released in the boy's mouth and his eyes are twitching nonstop, he analyze the items that he looted.
he put the ring in one of his left finger and fiddled it a couple of times, and released all the items in the ring in one thought. There are potions, ranging from 12 healing potions, 8 stamina potions, 7 mana potions, and 4 enhancement potions. all of them are in peak grade something that even the wealthiest person in the city can't buy. Then there's a frost-fire-wood flower, a skill book, a 10 vial of ambrosia, a black longsword(excluded), a katana, and a chain [And not a normal one, it's similar to morningstar whip of Transylvania just a chain], aside from that there's a hundred thousand zeli paper. Enough to feed him for years, and a paper.
He look at the paper.

"Hmmmm…." He starts humming while thinking for a minute.
The DashRandom signifies that it is not recorded and anyone who wields this letter will be able to enter the school even though this paper is not meant for them, in other words an item worthy of attention to every families all over the federation.
"Suspicious" His breath heaved as trail his look at the sentence that is written in the paper
'This…It's as if they are trying to lure something, no! Someone! They're trying to lure someone' he reasoned as he thought calculated possibilities.
A person devoid of any education and hungry for knowledge will surely do his best to enter the academy and for someone like him. It is the very perfect opportunity, all he needs to do is awaken and not stand out.
A human can't awaken their mana, not until they enter the asylum and become a traveler, but to become a traveler one must manifest the sigil derived from their soul.
And right now he doesn't have that yet, but he doesn't care for he could still wait until tomorrow to know if he is meant to be a traveler or not, but he knows that he would become one. He doesn't understand how he just knows. It's something that humans call intuition, instinct, or gut feeling.
The Boy closed his eyes and took a couple of breaths before opening them. He started organizing his things and walked toward his bed, then he lay down and closed his eyes, falling asleep in a moment he closed his eyes.
The boy even forgot his hunger, the only thing on his mind before sleeping is the thought of how he will proceed, whether he enters the academy or pursues a different path.
______________
20 hours have passed since the boy fell asleep, what he didn't know was that a commotion has been happening above and it's not just normal commotion because a Pseudo Ascend is involved, though even if he knows he couldn't care less about that because he knows that it is inevitable.
Inside a spacious room, a man was staring at the files and after a few minutes of inspection of the "report" he stood up and looked at his secretary.
"I want every Traveler with Scouting ability. Track the man who killed the youngest. Whatever.It.Takes." His word carries an authority that makes those who hear it follow, in other words his order are undeniable and a must.
His secretary nodded and walked out, he stared at the woman before standing up. He stared at the window of his office and looked down. There he saw the Federation Specialist, the Federation Tracker Team, and the Federation Assault Team. They start moving with a disgusting speed that surpasses most Travelers.
He too, without further ado teleport to where the body is. There he saw a couple of F.S. and F.T.; as he descent down, those who were investigating bowed down at him.
""" We Greet General Autlas """
The reverence and awe of those voices welcome the general as the eyes of his people twinkle, proving the respect they have for the general.
The man, General Leonel Gord Vie Autlas Nodded at them, as a sign of acknowledgement.
"Have you found a clue, of whoever did this?" He asks the without looking at the people around him. He started walking toward the body, he narrowed his eyes ' couple of strikes aside from those a big wound in his chest, indicating that someone stabbed him with a weapon, a longsword, maybe' he thought as he looked at the body, it isn't something that is mutilated or something but the way it was killed somehow riled his fiber.
"Yes sir, according to one of the beggars, He saw a wolf tattoo in the hood of the killer."
The man who is seemingly in charge of the investigation said. "But we still haven't confirmed if it is really true because there are a few items that are missing on the body."
"I see." that is his only response to the man seemingly not caring. "Continue investigating, I want you all to investigate every part of the alley, even the sewer. Report to me immediately if you found something." But deep in his eyes, an undeniable anger that is being suppressed is rising.
He said that and started walking away before he felt a fluctuation around the area, it was but a mere second but he felt it. "It seems that someone has been blessed to be a traveler today" the general muttered before leaving the area. His eyes still carried a wave of anger but it stopped rising anymore.
On the other hand….
The boy stares at the sigil on his back, A sigil appears in every part of the body, and in his case, it is in the back. But The sigil is much, much bigger than any sigil he has seen in books or heard. It was in the form of a serpentine and it ran deep across from his whole back to his body. The tail is the lower abdomen of his body and it runs in a way that coils in his stomach to the chest, and the head that is in his neck. Seemingly peering in those collars of his clothes.
He closed his eyes and thought to enter the asylum. He then opens his eyes and what greets him is a small portal. Without further ado, he entered, mainly because every item at his disposal was in the storage ring.
What greeted him wasn't something that he expected or wanted. And the moment his eyes land on the desolate terrain, he knew that his future is fuck up.
Even so, with a classic cliché, he encourages himself that there's always a chance as long as he's breathing and alive. He looks at the surroundings, The place is littered with bones and dead monsters, A fight between a Grizzly Lizard and Fire Tarantula is happening not very far from him. The land is devoid of any life, no trees, no wild grass, and so forth that one could see only desolate and creepy environment.
He looked back and there he saw a gigantic Skull, knowing that it was much safer inside he started trekking his way inside while cautiously observing the surroundings. He took out the black longsword and expected a monster inside but there was none which made him sigh in relief.
'Status' he Thought.
