Chapter 5: Superior Trio-Cultivator System
It was typically a 10 minute walk from the part of the forest Theo found himself in to the village, but, because of his injuries, it took him more than 15 to limp there. After the long, strenuous journey, he had arrived.
Sage Mellow Village,
Sage Mellow Village was a small village a few hundred miles west of the Human Continent's official Capital, give or take a few hundred miles. It was on the outer edges of the Kingdom of Aris, or the kingdom by which Sage Mellow dwelled under. It was easily the size of half a football stadium, so, even amongst the outer ring of villages scarred throughout the western countryside of the Aris Kingdom, it was considered small.
The Human Continent consists of mostly villages, baronies, towns and counties, with 4 major city-kingdoms. The Aris Kingdom has the largest metropolis-city, as it was the capital of the Aris Kingdom and the Human Continent.
The other Human Kingdoms — The Barbatos Kingdom, the Magenta Kingdom and the Evergreen Kingdom — alongside the Aris Kingdom, make up the Human continent and all its villages, towns and baronies, each contributing different factors to the Human Domain.
For instance, the Aris Kingdom has the largest military power, and sits closer to the eastern shores of the Continent by about 150 miles. The Evergreen Kingdom is the most resourceful and wealthy of the human kingdoms; its found 120 miles from the Northern coast of this continent. Meanwhile, the Magenta Kingdom has the most gifted mages in the Human domain, located only 135 miles from the western shores. And, finally, there is the human kingdom of Barbatos, the southernmost kingdom of the continent. Here, in this kingdom, warriors and barbarians rule over the weak in these lawless lands where only through strength does one determine right from wrong.
Or, at least, that's what the memories of the original Theo Kraven told him, and, considering Theo read pretty much everything in the village library, including modern maps and cultures, Theo was sure this information was still quite reliable.
Anyway, Sage Mellow Village was made up of stone-wooden houses with hay for roofs and similar buildings all throughout the village, many of which were built close to one another. There were narrow, winding streets and fields of agriculture. Little children played in the street while the adults worked hard. It was peaceful.
Until it wasn't.
Theo had just entered the eastern entrance to the village when the murmurs started around him, like waves of discourse from a crowd.
"There goes that strange lad again," one gruff voice said as Theo walked past.
