Chapter 1
# Chapter One — The Blue Stone
It was an ordinary morning in the small town of Sutora.
The streets were slowly coming to life as students made their way to school. Among them was an ordinary high-school boy named Sutora. He wasn't particularly intelligent when it came to studies, nor was he known for being exceptionally talented at anything. He was simply a normal boy living an ordinary life.
As Sutora walked toward school, he met his two best friends, Yamoro and Dima.
The three had been inseparable for as long as anyone could remember. Wherever one of them went, the other two were never far behind. Everyone at school knew them as the three best friends.
They studied together, walked home together, joked around together—and, more often than not, found themselves getting into trouble together.
Like every other day, the three friends spent their school hours together. Nothing seemed unusual.
But that night, everything changed.
Sutora fell asleep as usual.
Then, somewhere between sleep and reality, he found himself standing beside the river near his town.
The place looked strangely different. The water shimmered beneath a dark sky, and an unusual blue light glowed from somewhere near the riverbank.
Sutora walked toward the light.
There, lying beside the river, was a mysterious blue stone.
The moment he touched it, something happened.
A powerful energy rushed through his body.
Water began to rise from the river, swirling around him as if it were alive. Sutora could feel the water responding to his thoughts.
He had gained **Navis**.
Navis was a mysterious power that allowed its wielder to control water according to their will.
Sutora stared at the water in disbelief.
Then—
He woke up.
Sutora sat upright in his bed, breathing heavily.
For a few seconds, he simply stared into the darkness.
*Was it only a dream?*
The image of the blue stone remained clear in his mind.
The next morning, Sutora followed his usual routine and went to school. Everything around him looked completely normal, but he couldn't stop thinking about the strange vision from the previous night.
During school, he kept wondering about the blue stone.
What was it?
Why had he seen it?
And what exactly was Navis?
When school finally ended, Sutora, Yamoro, and Dima began walking home together.
They were talking about their usual things when Sutora suddenly stopped.
"I need to tell you both something," he said.
Yamoro and Dima looked at him.
"What happened?" Yamoro asked.
Sutora hesitated for a moment before telling them about his vision—the river, the mysterious blue stone, and the strange power called Navis.
For a moment, neither of his friends said anything.
Then Dima's eyes widened with excitement.
"Then let's go to the riverside!" he said. "We can look for that blue stone ourselves."
Sutora looked toward the distant river.
He wanted to go.
More than anything.
But he shook his head.
"Not now. Let's meet in the evening. Then we'll go together and search for the stone."
Yamoro and Dima exchanged glances.
They both agreed.
None of them knew what awaited them at the riverside.
They only knew one thing—
That ordinary day had just become the beginning of something far greater than they could ever imagine.
