contempt and glory


In a medieval world, there are powers granted by strange fruits, as well as great skill with the sword, highly valued by society. There was also magic, but unlike the sword and fruits, it was not as appreciated or recognized.

In fencing, three main styles were practiced: the Northern God style, the Water God style, and the Fire God style. These styles were divided into the ranks of beginner, intermediate, advanced, saint, and expert.

As for fruits, there were nine categories, each granting a unique power. These categories are: lightning, fire, edge, gravity, water, ice, wind, and two unique categories: god of death and god of the moon. The fruits in each category not only offer abilities, but also a deep connection to their respective cosmic element or force.

On the other hand, magic was organized differently. It was divided into three main branches: offensive, defensive, and support. Offensive magic included the control of the elements, such as fire, water, and earth being the main ones, but they opened more to discover. Unlike swordsmanship, magic had a more extensive classification, with the following ranks: beginner, intermediate, advanced, expert, saint, deity, and empire.

In this world full of adventures and extraordinary powers, there lived a 14-year-old boy, the son of a swordsman and a magician. With a cheerful and joking character, since he was a child he had admired magic and had always dreamed of becoming the best, regardless of the contempt that society felt for it.

In this world where the sword and strange fruits reign, I chose to follow a different path: magic. I've been different since I was a child, and even though people don't value magic as much, I'm determined to show its true power.

My father, Abel, is a saint-level swordsman and uses the style of the water god, he is somewhat arrogant with his sword prowess, always practicing shirtless, as if it was some kind of spectacle for everyone who passes by, he is somewhat conceited considering that he already has a wife.

On my mother's side she is a magician, called Sira, in her time magic was recognized, but when fruits with powers appeared she declined, she is a former adventurer, she is of advanced rank in attack and support magic, in defense she is a beginner, she is affectionate and always pampers me, even though I am already a young man......
