My name is Sinho. A normal orphan boy. But not always I was this.
I came from a very prestigious clan. But in my 10th birthday my clan got wiped out.
In those time of need I thought maybe my fiancee's family will help. But no one help me. Instead those greedy leechers took everything away. I got forced to run. And after 15 years I am dying.
I looked at the sky. It's snowing. How many days has it been since I didn't eat?
A week probably. I want to eat something properly.
"Ah! What was that voice?" I wonder. Am I hallucinating cause of hunger? If yes! I don't want to hallucinating.
"Ah! Shut up."
From my childhood I was always weak. I wonder if I were strong, could I have changed my fate?
"Ah! Whatever!! I want a second chance in my life."
Ah! I am falling asleep?
I don't want to. I am not..
Ah! Someone stop this!
I am feeling so cold.
Ahh! I want warmth. I want love. My life!
All the time I remembered, I couldn't stop myself showing my true emotions. I couldn't see what others feel or see in me. Do I regret it?
If I...get.. the second chance I want to live it to my...

‡ And that's how Sinho died. The end. Just kidding. THIS IS JUST THE BEGGING OF A LEGEND. ‡
"Where am I?"
I ask myself as I open my eyes. No! Not my eyes. Something similar. I felt like I don't have them but I also opened them.
All I see was darkness.
"Why is it so dark? Where am I?" As I ask I heard the same voice again.
"Who is talking?" I shouted or I tried to. But no sound came outside.
"What is going on? Attribute? Is it talking about those legendary runes?" I thought.
Runes are those special symbols one born with. But I didn't get it in the past life. So why now? Why after death?
Like answering my questions, a memory appeared in my mind.
I saw myself. My childhood self. Just the day I was born.
My family was a very powerful clan. But it got a hidden side. It sealed demonic being somewhere in the world. Demonic beings that ran away from the hell. They came to mortal world to possessed people and devour their soul.
And my clan was one of those secret clans that deal with theses powerful beings. But no one knows about where they got sealed.
The day I was born was also something similar. That day two major thing happened. First was a old demonic being broke through the seal. And the seal was my mother. And that's how I was born.
Second was my grandfather, father of my father secrificed himself to seal it again in a sword. But in that time no one noticed that that thing put a curse on me. My runes got sealed. I got 5 rune.
As I watch all of these happening in my memories, I felt weak. Tears are likely coming down from my eyes. But I can't feel them. I was talented. But because of that demonic...
Those demon faction also destroyed my clan.
If I get another chance I will destroy them. Torture them infinite time.
"But what it matters?"
I had 5 rune. In our world maximum number of rune one can hold is 10. But that was in past. In my time 5 was held as a prodigy. But I can't regrets it anymore.
If I just could have broken that curse.
"Will you shut up? Am I just going to be here with this voice forever? Do something. Anyone?"
.... Then suddenly everything turned dark.....
Next when he wakes up, he found himself in the arms of his father. He was a child.
Regression?
He tried to speak but all it comes out was babbling of a child.
Suddenly he heard his father's voice.
"Someone quickly come with the 8 formation stone."
8 formation stone is used for knowing someone's health status. It also used to know the runes one have.
As the child Sinho touched the stone. Blue tattoos start to appear all over his bodies.
5 tattoos in total.
??
But Sinho is watching 20 tattoos.
"20 rune? How is that possible?" I wonder in myself. I know the way to see them.

"Ok! Let's see. I have total 20 runes. 10 of them are 3 star. That means with the highest potential. 5 of them are attribute rune. And 2 of these.. I saw them in that memory. So it was my original rune, I suppose. Life and nature. What a wonderful combination. Well. Getting a attribute rune doesn't mean you can control it. It just help you in practice a material arts within that attribute. Well. First goal is to breathing properly. This time I will try to be ready for anything." I said and look at other rune.
"Unlike attribute rune. Other runes come with a effect on body. For example the hunger rune saib to decrease hunger. Whatever you eat, it will be converted in energy faster and the energy will be as pure as possible. Well! That's good."
