Act 2

Mana Child

Aganix entered the First Chamber and spoke to a clergyman
"My name is Aganix Wizardsnare, I am here to become a Mana Knight."

"Good day, mister Wizardsnare, do you currently hold the Mana Squire title?" Said the well-mannered clergyman.

"No, what's a Mana Squire?" Aganix asked.

"I see, a Mana Squire is a candidate that is pursuing the title of Mana Knight that requires a lot of training in the aspects of Knighthood and Spellcasters. Then, once they pass all tests, they will be come a qualified Mana Knight." The clergyman explained.

"So I need to become a Mana Squire first, right?"

"Yes, if you wish to sign up for Mana Squire, it will cost you 100 mana stone for registration and 1000 mana stone every month for 2 full years, the total cost will be 24100 mana stone."

"What?! That's a large amount of money!!!"

"Or, you can find a Clan Lord and ask him to sponsor you. All you need is to get him write a letter of recommendation, then all your money problems will be solved."

"A clan lord..." Aganix walks out, murmuring.

Act 1

Mana Squire

After many eons, Fregmor became the largest city because of the Sacred Sanctuary.

There's a famous school called Academy of Mana, built by the Prophets of the Dragon War.

Students graduated from the Academy of Mana become great Spellcasters, and some of them became great heroes in the history of Elthians.

In the current era, becoming a Mana Knight is the ambition of all young Elthians. Aganix Wizardsnare, a young man who traveled from afar, determined to become a Mana Knight. but there's a mysterious boy that followed Aganix wherever he goes, the child is called Dream.

Although many wishes to become a Mana Knight, but due the nature of its difficulty, most of them failed and gave up, as Mana Knight not only combines the aspects of Knighthood and Spellcasters, but also requires the blessing of mana spirits, which is rare and difficult to seek.

Candidates who wish to become a Mana Knight must qualify as a Mana Squire first. Then, those who succeed to become a Mana Knight will eventually be honored as heroes, so commoners have high expectation on the Mana Squire, especially for those who are from royal or rich family.

Prologue

In the world of El'thia, mana flows across all places, that is, within the reach of mana spirits.

The mana spirits are the soul of El'thia, their presence is in everything and everywhere. Life is created through the mana spirits, the first children of El'thia was born, they are known as Elthian.

Each Elthian inherits the power of mana, some used mana as fuel, some enhance their crafts with mana and some conjured mana into spells. The Elthians lived in prosperous civilization and they formed their own clan.

Throughout time, the Elthians took the mana spirits for granted. Then, desire grew in each of them and their greed created wars among them.

In the first Great War, Spellcasters created many powerful spells along with many powerful weapons that brought destruction upon the land of El'thia.

In rage, El'thia awakens her last children, the Dragons, to punish the Elthians. Soon, the powerful Dragons reign from land to sky, the Elthians have little power against the Dragons, and so all Elthians are united and fought bravely in the name of their clan.

Dragon Slayers became first heroes in the history of Elthians.

Dragons are the only kin that can eat mana spirits to grow stronger, whichever place they inhabits will eventually turn into a wasteland. However, there are some Dragons who gain conscious from the Great Will and they stopped to devour the mana spirits, they became weaker but this earned them wisdom, they are known as the Drakonis.

To end the Dragon War, the Drakonis offered truce with the Elthians, they first seek the followers of Great Will, the Prophets, who are highly respected by all Elthians.

To honor the peace between Drakonis and Elthians, they built a temple in the city of Fregmor and named it Sacred Sanctuary, the temple then became the epicenter of Prophets.

Soon, followers of Great Will grew in large number. The second golden age began.
