A scuffle near the tavern broke his melancholy. A cloaked monk was being harassed by two city guards.

"You’re a dreamer, boy," the Elder grumbled, clutching his staff. "Go tend your beans. Leave the monsters to the gods."

In the humble village of Elmsworth, young Jack lived with his widowed mother. They owned little more than a milking cow and a worn roof over their heads. But Jack had a curious heart—he loved old legends, especially those about the Cloud Realm, where giants once roamed before vanishing into the mist.
