In a secluded jungle between Chu City and Whitewater City in the land of Da Xuan, a slender and frail figure leaned against a thick tree trunk. His legs were spread apart in a relaxed stance.
This figure belonged to a boy who appeared to be thirteen or fourteen years old.
Besides his unusually pale complexion, the boy had rather ordinary features. He wore loose-fitting clothes, and a bright, shining steel sword lay carelessly beside him.
