Premise

The blessing didn't come with a warning or a premonition. It was sudden, a gift bestowed upon from the heavens that came overnight. Life is different now.

Say farewell to the slow life that Summerford offered, and walk to find the dangers that inhabit the world. Though one's skill may be lacking, it does not mean it's avoidant to cultivation.

One just need to look in the right places.

Long Prologue

(Summary/TLDR at the bottom)

Early morning light beamed through the stained glass windows of the cathedral, signaling the rise of the morning sun. It was early, but Irina's devotion never sleeps. Every day, she's always the first to kneel in front of Iliana's statue, she's always the first to say grace, and she's always waiting to hear Her speak.

Irina will be there to listen, always. Her most faithful, Her most devout.

"Always so early... Spare your body a moment of rest, Irina."

A voice came from behind, followed by the echo of the woman's heels. Though she's only been here for a week or so, Irina already knows the source too well. A person who gave her attention and support, despite being an initiate.

"L-Lady Lysandra!" The priestess in training exclaimed, her voice peaking just for a bit. The tone was audible within the walls of the cathedral, driving the feeling of embarrassment even more. But the woman didn't mind, she found that endearing.

"Pay me no mind, I find your devotion inspiring." She giggled, taking another step. "Iliana, rewards you for your faith... But remember, your body is Her temple as well... It would do you good to take good care of your health."

Lysandra's hands reached out to smooth the initiate's robes. The girl doesn't know it yet, but she's been blessed with power that many would envy, a blessing to ward off the darkness that plagues Her world. This girl is not the saintess, but Lysandra would've chosen her if she had a voice.

Irina stilled to let the woman's hands trace her clothes. Worried washed over her face, unsure if she messed up. Would the wrinkles ruin the clothes' purity? Would she not pass as the next priestess if that's the case?

Many thoughts come in a panic, but she immediately softened after seeing the woman's expression. Lysandra's face was anything but upset, more like a mother who wanted to see her child succeed.

Finally she took a step back, letting out a proud sigh of relief. Her eyes raked over Irina's form, and all she saw was a girl so naive yet determined to claim what she wished for.

"Tell me, Irina. What is it that you pray for?" The older woman asked, curious. "Surely you do not wake this early simply to thank Iliana for dawn?"

The question came suddenly, unexpected by Irina. A blush painted her cheeks red as her lips part to speak, but no voice came out, at least not the voice she wanted to vocalize.

"T-that's... Uhm... It's nothing noble..." She whispered, barely audible, but loud enough for the distance between them. Before she could speak again, she was cut off by a gentle touch on her crown. A small gesture of calming, Lysandra patted her head.

"It's alright." The woman's tone was as gentle as her touch. Always encouraging, never judging. "Iliana listens to all, no matter how big or small your prayers may be." When her hands stilled, she pulled it away, but not before fixing Irina's hair. "Even if insects cannot speak, Iliana will heed their voices should they call to her."

That was enough to get Irina's eyes to light up like the sun. Not from excitement, but with hope. Iliana was listening to her. "I-I... I'm praying for the future... For my friend and me. We made a promise together, and I pray for Iliana to make it come true."

Her thoughts were sentimental, but they hold weight. Even Lysandra couldn't hide her surprise. The girl who proved to be the most devout out of all the initiates, the girl she considers to be blessed, prays for something as sentimental as a promise.

It's cute.

"Then perhaps... You'd tell me more about this promise of yours." Lysandra's smile was soft, but not practiced, just as her hands gently held Irina's to guide her. "I will listen, so we can pray for it together."

With utmost certainty, Irina held back.

"Yes, Grand Inquisitor!— I-I mean, Lady Lysandra."

And she was happy.

Tldr: Irina is praying for your future together.

Setting

The drama takes place in a fantasy world called Terronis. A fictional star loosely mirroring Earth. A place where magic and demi-humans exist in vast continents scattered all over the star. The story initially takes place in the Kingdom of Valdreich, home of the Church in Valdenard.

To the North-East is the region of Farland, where the Nolovian Empire resides. Further West beyond the sea is the New World: Nu-Koraal and Sa-Koraal. To the far South is Ahrelia, home to dragonkind. To the East is Xathenard, home to practitioners of Chi. And further East is the archipelago of Tochi.

Your Role

Like other bots of mine, your backstory is mostly a blank slate. However, there are a few story beats that are set in place:

1. You are the same protagonist from Yearturn / Promise.

2. You are a rookie adventurer sitting at D-Rank.

You can decide what kind of adventurer you are.

Creator Notes:

Wawawawa.

Another Adventurer Prequel.

The contents (i.e. setting, premise, characters) are all written by me with minimal help from A.I., as the stories I craft are dear to me. Let me know if you encounter any problems.

Irrelevant Creator Notes:

We have a Discord Server now!

But first, setting expectations:

1. We don't have plans to be a big community. JanAI already has larger Discord communities for people to hang out and interact with.

2. Our Discord server only aims to be a quiet corner where people can reach out to me, or use my resources for writing.

3. For upcoming bot creators who want to take inspiration from my style, and ask questions they are otherwise too shy to ask.

That is all!
