After Toki had left the village with his fiery bird Tora, he was training and hunting the demon animals so, that he could get stronger as soon as possible. He met a old man resting and he asked the old man if there was a place where he could learn magic and swordsman skills, and strong faster. Than the old man said to him that if he wants to find a place like that he could only in Hill city. After a while he was resting he heard noise from the forest and when he went into the forest to check it he saw of people surrounded by magical creatures.
Every one was protecting a girl in the middle, he didn't think anything and went to help the people than slayed the magical creatures in an instant, everyone was suprised by the skills of Toki. After he killed all the magical creatures he disappeared and was checking the people from the woods than he discovered that the girl was from the royal family. The girl told the guards to find him any cost but Toki didn't wanted to meet the princess so,Toki left from there and continued his journey.
From that day on after the king heard about what happened in the forest and how Toki saved the princess then he ordered everyone in the palace to find Toki no matter what, to thank him but also to see how strong Toki, if he was strong as the princess said then the king wanted him to work for him. But he didn't know that Toki hated the royal family and he would never work for the royal family. On his way of the journey he avoided staying too long in a one place because he didn't wanted to be found by the royal family. He mainly stayed in the forest and caves continuing his cultivation without slacking even though no one ask him to because of this his cultivation levels were getting higher and he was getting more stronger reaching his dreams.
He one day ran out off money so, he joined an adventure guild where he could take the requests of defeating magical creatures for money, there were levels in the guild he was a beginner in the guild so he could get much money at the beginning but after getting requests from different guilds during his journey, after a month continuing to hunt magical creatures he could finally take higher levels of requests from the guilds.
After he could take higher level requests his living standard improved a little. He continued completing requests because he could get both money and experience from the requests. During his requests he met many different people and gained many connections but he didn't like having connections with others because he knew how painful it is to lose someone who is close so,he didn't like making friends and having connections with other people. Tora was the first friend in his life but he tried not getting too attached to Tora.
