Chapter 0 – Bedivere’s Read
“The continent of Mevoza is composed of six kingdoms: the Paradise Forest of Kelmentis in the northwest; the Ice Country of Olkole in the north; the Highland Country of Adinia in the east; the Knowledge Kingdom of Vedamala in the southeast; the Water Alliance of Izumi, located south of Vedamala; and the Human Empire of Eden at the center. There is also the Fog Ocean in the west, rumored to hide a lost continent, but...”

“The Paradise Forest of Kelmentis serves as a sanctuary for the Elves. They dwell within the central wood of Menel—a forest so dense that only Elves, with their acute senses and deep connection to nature, can navigate it. Known for their love of blood and flesh-based cuisine, they are paradoxically fierce protectors of the natural world. Elves are notoriously hostile to outsiders and adhere strictly to a rigid hierarchy. Having been isolated for over 300 years, most common folk consider them little more than mythical beings. Their rulers...”

“The Ice Country of Olkole, inhabited by Beast-men and Ogres, is a land of brutal cold and towering mountains. It is said that the Ogres reside in a hidden realm within the mountains—a mysterious pocket of land with a milder climate suitable for farming.

“The Highlands of Adinia, located below Olkole and directly east on the continent, are inhabited by the descendants of Giants.

It is a land of great fortune—both in natural resources and wealth. Giants are a docile people and play a major role in trade...”

“The Knowledge Kingdom of Vedamala is perhaps the most mysterious of all. Despite frequent trade with humans, little is known about its inner workings. Its inhabitants—Dwarves and Demons—are responsible for most of the modern Magi-tools used across the continent. Located just below Adinia, the land is mostly rocky wasteland and desert, yet it houses some of the greatest magical inventions...”

“The Water Alliance of Izumi was formed through a peace treaty between the three great water tribes: the Whale Tribe, the Water Elf Tribe, and the Noble Dragon Tribe. Although currently at peace with humans, tensions flare when members of their tribes go missing—disappearances they often blame on human greed. Izumi is the continent’s leading supplier of seafood and holds major influence in the gourmet world. The Water Elf Tribe is a lesser...”

“The Eden Empire—also known as the Fallen Eden. Legend claims that, before the formation of Mevoza, the empire existed as Eden, the Garden Hill of Heaven. Once a land blessed by divine light, it now stands as the largest country in the world and the homeland of 99% of humanity. The humans have...”

Close.
Bedivere shut the encyclopedia with a loud sigh. It was informative, yes—but dull enough to wear down even a scholar’s patience.
“It’s different from the game,” he muttered, rubbing his temple. Slapping his cheeks to reawaken his focus, he stared at his tiny baby hands and sighed again.
Even his voice matched his new body.
“Pootteyy.”
