The Story of the Brave Warrior

0: the story of Raden

...PROLOGS...

...-year 414-...

In a small village called Sluth village.

there were many small children gathered to hear a story from the adventurers.

one of them is me. My name is Raden, only Raden is without a surname, when they told a story about a hero who defeated a demon king, the incident took place 400 years ago, even so, the demon king rose after the death of the hero who defeated him, the human world and the demon world were eventually overrun by the demon king.

A prophecy that if a new hero is to be born to be destined to defeat the demon lord, that hero is said to appear when a war that will destroy the great land, only he survives. that person is believed to be the hero who will defeat the demon lord.

the adventurer is old, but he still has the spirit to tell his adventure, he tells us a story.

Even so, it is all just a fairy tale that has not been proven true because it is only a fictional story.

But the existence of the demon king is true. Now that he was gathering his strength, all his troops were spreading across a continent to guard the sleeping demon lord.

The ASHURA kingdom of Bonias. Nightshade Kingdom and Weargas Empire, were countries that still survived to fight against demon lords, many other kingdoms that had already collapsed or were ruled by demon lords.

I am Raden is an 8 year old boy heard the story was interested in the legend and aspired to be a hero to the whole world, I am very excited to be a hero who defeated the goddamn demon king.

since childhood I have always met adventurers who were resting in my village living, plus I was very amazed by the cool swords and iron armor worn by them, he said, makes me always fantasize about wearing that armor.

I'm an orphan boy, brownish black hair, Sea green eyes, I live with some of my brothers and sisters who are my fate, I don't know why I don't have biological parents. but I have a mother figure named Siti's mother who has taken care of me with the others.

I love Siti's mother very much, as well as Siti's mother who loves me and others very much.

I like to play rather than learn, every day I always play with a sword with a wooden stick, with his other brothers, I always win and become a champion in the invincible, I also teach sword techniques to those who want to learn.

they were curious how I could be so good at playing swords, especially with my sword techniques that the movements were very similar to the movements of adventurers who were dueling.

I answered simply,

"just follow their movements".

Saying it with a smile.

I myself only saw adventurers dueling every day and following their movements they did, started the sword swinging movement after that kicking the hands of the enemy, aiming for the hand that was holding the weapon, knocking the opponent down. A lot of other things, they should have known but never demonstrated, even some said I was cheating and unfair. I thought "it's not fair but it's the rule."

"..."

Ibu Siti knows this, she is worried and also happy that Raden has pent-up talent, since childhood Raden rarely cries, either because of falling, injured, injured, or the little things that make a normal little child cry, but he does not, last raden cry, he himself forgets when, there is only a weak baby crying. unlike the other Raden half-brothers, like children in general.

Ibu Siti herself first met Raden when she was taken by villagers who found Raden in the woods shirtless and very cold. For a baby, there was no way he could survive. Moreover, the climate in the Lulutea Continent which is known to have 4 extreme seasons, no one knows how long Raden has been in the forest, for sure we all thought that Raden had only been left in that place for one night.

Sometimes it scares Siti's mother, but then she realizes, Raden is just a poor boy trying to be a strong child, he loves Raden very much and gives a little freedom, he said, although Siti's mother can't spoil her, she still wants to make Raden a good person who is disciplined.

Raden has 5 half-siblings, one of whom is his older sister Vika.

little brother Ali, brothers the age of Malik and Nadia is also the biological child of Siti's mother who will be born when Raden is 13 years old. Vika's sister is the one who always takes care of him when Siti's mother is not home, sister Vika is also an orphan, she also always helps the mother and arguably sister Vika is our sister.

Brother Vika has a hard and disciplined nature, he wants to make Raden as a disciplined and diligent nature, Raden does not like it let alone forced into someone after the wishes of others, he just wanted to be free as he pleased. Therefore he often fought with Vika's sister. Raden ended up going out more often and roamed the village.

 I often wandered around the village, until I did not realize that it was very far from home, had reached a temple towards the North of the village, the place was very big, he said, I visit there every day to practice in secret.

one day I was befriended by a strange girl with yellow hair and red eyes, her clothes were also quite strange, in the form of a long skirt, the girl named Aurel, she was a rather shy girl.

At first I met him when I first met a fruit tree in the middle of a vast expanse of rice fields, I did not know why Aurel himself at that time.

I myself actually also often go around the village alone when, not because I do not have friends to play with, but because I myself prefer to go around, I want to know what it's like to be an adventurer without being bothered by others.

when I first saw Aurel, I decided to go straight to him, Aurel was surprised that suddenly someone came. But I know that he actually wants fruit on a tree, for that he daritadi as if to reach the fruit on it, even trying to climb it. without a second thought I climbed up and gave it to Aurel, at first we felt awkward because of my sudden action and then gave fruit to aurel. but even so they started talking to each other.in the end we both established a friendship.

That was the starting point of their relationship, one day I asked Aurel why he was always alone, Aurel himself said "i'd rather be alone."

I admit as well

 "i'd rather be alone and enjoy traveling around the village, plus the goal of being a hero exploring the world."

It was unexpected that Aurel himself also had the same goal of being an adventurer like me.

Aurel claimed he wanted to travel the world to see the beauty of nature that he had never seen before.he often read fairy tale books, there are many pictures of beautiful scenery, Aurel was very curious and wanted to see it in person.

They both often play together in the same place, at one time, I occasionally invite Aurel to go home to play with my other brother. Aurel looked a little scared, but then I managed to convince her, and they went together to the house. Aurel was also acquainted with my brothers and sisters and Siti's mother.

(yes that's the main reason Raden always spends time outside)

Everyone looked at Aurel's blonde hair curiously.

Some people, including myself, asked why Aurel had blond hair, not black, gray or red.

Aurel just kept quiet and told the truth that there are many people out there with blond hair like her.

I didn't know it and still knew nothing, but I was very astonished, seeing the uniqueness that Aurel had, whereas I knew the sluth village was the adventurer's journey path village, and there were people of various tribes, only blondes he had never met, and finally I knew Aurel, the only person I had ever met with blonde hair.

"...."

mother Siti seems to know what is kept secret by Aurel, seen all the time she continues to pay attention to him and continues to watch over him, whereas previously Siti's mother had never seen like this before to other people's children. Despite being wary of her, Siti's mother still treats Aurel like a child in general as it does to children.

"..."

year later.

There is bad news for us.

since today was the day Raden and Aurel's friendship had to be blocked by distance, it was because Aurel was about to leave the sluth village.

as a farewell, Raden, Ali Nadia and Malik. The four of them always play with Aurel, of course Aurel's departure makes them hit.

"can we meet again?..."

I asked him, he didn't want his friend to leave.

"I don't know..."

Aurel replied gloomily, he still wants to stay and continue to be with the others.

“we want to spend more time with sister Aurel."

nadia hugged Aurel. Aurel rubbed Nadia's head gently, their relationship was always close because they were women.

"Can we meet again soon?”

ask me, I want at least there's a possibility for their reunion.

"Perhaps, we'll just wait for a moment when I'm already an adventurer."

Aurel replied, I remember when Aurel also aspired to be an adventurer to travel the world. Maybe he wants to make it happen from today.

"i wish we could meet again..."

"See you Aurel."

Aurel left, with someone waiting for an old man in front of the house, I thought he was his uncle. Aurel got on the horse carriage and then walked away, the five of us waving our hands one last time.

****

5 Years passed

I was 15 years old, during these 5 years, I learned to read and write and count from elementary school, now my job is to be a farmer, he said, people see me as a very strong and powerful person more than a child my age, still a teenager but physically I'm like an adult, like a muscular build, like a muscular build, also of course I am handsome, even though I do not have a girlfriend at least liked by all citizens.

according to them, I better get a job according to my physical ability.

if remembered again, I aspire to be the greatest adventurer, finally thanks to the support of my brothers and sisters, I ventured to beg Siti's mother to go out on an adventure village and become the greatest warrior. I promise that one day after becoming a great adventurer, the greatest, he will return to the village with a lot of money for us.

it was with great sadness that Siti's mother allowed me to travel the world.

Finally, with the permission of my mother Siti and my brothers, I went to be a novice adventurer.

putting that aside, Aurel had already left the village 5 years ago, he himself said that his family had a lot of business and finally Aurel had to go out of the village following his family.

Now it was my turn to leave the village of Sluth.

as a last greeting I say farewell to the others "see you, may we meet again another time"

"..."

both Raden and the others waved as farewells...
