-1 The World and 'sAzu's

Name:Hero's Return Author:Artpyro
The world is split into 5 realms, The Mortal Realm, The Sky Islands, The Underforge, The Celestial Realm and The Demonic Realm. These Realms all existed on the same plane but were split by barriers. The Mortal Realm was extremely wide, if you were to take all the land on Earth and multiply it by 1000 you would get The Mortal Realm, each realm was about the same size except for The Celestial and Demonic Realms which were twice the size of all the realms. In all of the realms one's status was decided through the power they held. The ranks across the realms were done like this, The Mortal Realm's most powerful individuals were the 100 Legends, The Celestial Realm's most powerful individuals were the 2000 Celestial Elite's and the Demonic Realm's most powerful individuals were the 2500 Demonic Elite's. The Sky Islands had the 200 Seven-Winged Heroes and The Underforge was a realm that was completely devoted to the crafting, buying and selling of weapons and armor, it was a plane where war and conflict was forbidden, or else all the realms would target the realm that had started the war. The Mortal, Celestial and Demonic Realm's had a combined rank that they called the 4500 Extremes, The Sky Islands did not involve themselves with any realm but The Underforge so they didn't join these ranks. The Mortal Realm had many cities, towns, villages and warzones, it also had many individuals that were classed as royalty and there were extremely powerful schools set up all around the realm to take in anyone who wanted to try their chance at becoming a Legend or being a paid adventurer in general (Someone payed to slay beasts, collect items over long distances, etc.).

Sora, the protaganist, used to be a man named 'Azu' - Azu acted very childlike and would sometimes act in a way that a child would, but he was still one of the greatest heroes through the way he fought and won every battle with as much childlike innocence as he had started. But around his teammates, whilst holding that weird childlike personality was kinder than anyone and could instantly mature if needed at the drop of a hat. Most of his teammates had seen his rare mature side and this was the reason they followed him. When he had died he used a secret reincarnation spell and had given his teammates the mission of secretly raising him in his next life.

This is the story of how he lived his 'second chance'.
