__NOTOC__
==Story==
Life is not easy nor fair. For a peasant from Anrain one unlucky trip to the woods may be his last, sailors from Derumi work so hard just to get by and scholars from New Satra spend most of their life on learning and improving before they can make the world a better place. And then, some people are just born lucky. 
Seran merchant Fadon Noriw inherited his father's fortune. He expanded the family business and multiplied his wealth tenfold, so his two daughters Tennei and Eleya had everything they could wish for. All the explensive clothes Tennei demanded, all the toys Eleya wanted. As sisters grew older Tennei embraced the wealth, taking everything for granted, attended Seran parties and spend a lot on Satran magical gadgets (as she miserably failed to learn magic herself). Eleya on the other hand got interested with sports and games, especially archery. Much to her parents disfavor she spend her time practising with a bow, wandering the woods around the city and ending up in many bar fights. They scolded her every day, criticising her decisions, her hobbies and plans. She was always careless and impatient, but years of conflict with her family made her resentful and aggressive. As they grew up Tennei embraced the wealth while Eleya began to hate it. 
At the age of 17 she had enough. Her father wanted her to marry a son of his friend, a guy whom Eleya meet only 2 times in her life, and these 2 times were enough for her to begin hating him. In the middle of the night she grabbed her trusty bow, bag of clothes and all the money she could fit in her pockets, destroyer her father's favorite painting in main hall and left Seru forever. 
Life of an adventurer was harder than she initially expected. She could not rely on money she stole from home forever, safe travel between settlements was expensive and wandering alone in the forests of north Greavesoyl is the last thing a lone young girl should do. Combination of her luck and skill made up for her carelessness and she took bounty after bounty from creatures roaming the land. Small quests no adventurers group wanted to waste time on. With every kill her confidence grow, from worats in Satran woods to swamp serpents around Ooran. She even took down few wanted outlaws all by herself which gave her high confidence boost. The line between bravery and stupidity is thin and Eleya ran on this line and giving no damn about balancing. And so, while in Ooran she proudly decided that she was ready to go and, all alone, try to take on the legendary Ooran Dungeon. 
She was prepared, mentally and physically. She got the best equipment she could. She filled her bags with supplies and expensive healing potions made from kraken blood. She was in her peak form and yet she almost meet her doom in the first section of the Dungeon. Her deadly aim and sharp tongue were powerless against giant Slime Core she encountered and which would surely kill her if not her uncanny luck. Another sole adventurer who happened to descend the Dungeon the same day saved her from painful death and then just... moved on. The man named Cane was different from any other person she ever meet. Everyone hated or admired her, no in between, while Cane just not cared. His apathy got her attention and she joined him in his journey into the depths of the dungeon where after [redacted] she witnessed him killing legendary demon known as Maze Master. Cane achieved his main and only life goal and as he had nothing else to do, Eleya convinced him to join her on careless adventures around the world. 
His peace helped Eleya mitigate her aggression while her enthusiasm helped Cane with his inner emptiness. With their characters complimenting each other they travelled together, slaying monsters, fighting elementals and running from dragons. Over time their care for each other grew into something much stronger but both of them suppressed or hid their emotions out of fear of losing the other. Everything changed when they faced the worst monster on their way, a man behind green mask who caused death and pain out of his morbid lust. That day they both almost died from the killer's hand. And that day Eleya showed the loneliness and fear hidden under mask of anger. And that day they both realised how much they love each other.
