In a world very very different from the world we know, let's just zoom to a very very tiny dot on that planet, the more you go, the bigger it becomes, That's crab village.
On the outskirt of this village, a handsome sixteen years old boy sat on a tree stump staring at the sky with sad innocent eyes.
All he could see was just one beautiful face dancing around his memory, the face was so beautiful and innocent that it was almost ethereal.
He was so deep in this memories that he didn't even notice tear rolling down his cheeks freely.
Recently this has become his routine every evening after work.
His father and mother were seekers, they would go hunting for magical beast. This gave them some authority in the village, after all the number of seekers in the village could be counted with one hand.
A few months after turning fourteen, his parents went out on a very important expedition but never came back.
He had to fend for himself, the village people were nice but there was only so much they can do.
A year after that, Irene the prettiest girl in the village who's also his girlfriend was taken away by a powerful cultivator, even though she didn't agree, Dan was all alone in this village.
Everyday he would wake early and go to work at a farm in the village, when he comes back in the evening he would come to this place and sit down remembering his parents and girlfriend.
Crab village was a very rocky village, the name came from the mountains around it, it's shaped like crab with the village in between the two pincers, it provided a natural formation protecting the village from magic beast.
Although the magic beast here were low leveled ones, there was barely any cultivator in the village.
The seekers in this village were just barely level 2 foundation establishments.
Jake was still seating on the tree stump when he saw a snow white fox ran past him, the fox seemed to be chased by something, it ran further and disappeared into the forest.
Jake stood up immediately, this was a type of treasure seeking beast, it must have found
He immediately stood up and chased after it, this type of beast is very rare, whenever you see one then there's a treasure nearby.
Jake ran for sometime and nearly lost track of this snow fox, luckily his parents were seekers, he learnt a lot from them
Jake has been running for 30 minutes when he came to a cave, he looked around looking for any signs of danger.
Suddenly Jake knew he did something very stupid, he noticed he had run out of the natural formation guarding the village, he's now completely at the mercy of the magic beast around here.
Were he was seating before was already the border and now he ran for thirty whole minutes into the forest.
He calmed down, he knew there was nothing else to do other than to slowly trace his way back and go back to the village, if he's lucky, he might make it.
But when he looked at the cave again and saw the track of the fox, he knew there might be a treasure in there.
Magic beast usually live in caves, but knowing that the snow fox was inside there, he felt a bit at ease, snow fox were not good at fighting, in fact never have it been heard of a snow fox attacking, and they usually stay alone.
Rooaaar!
While Dan was still contemplating whether to go inside, he heard a roar from the direction he was coming from,that probably the beast the snow fox was running from.
The snow fox outran the beast but magic beast were normally good at tracking with their sensitive nose and hearing.
Now he has to choose quickly weather to enter the cave or go back the way he came from and face that beast.
Without thinking he ran inside the cave.
The cave was dark and very silent, he walked he didn't want to go any deeper but he knew that not all beast had good sight, and most of them hate dark, he was hoping this beast had these attributes.
He ran for almost twenty minutes into the cave before stopping to catch his breath, when he turned he saw the snow fox at one corner.
The snow fox tilt it's head and looked at him like he was some funny object
