Origins and Aristocracy

The Keepsake of the Pride, along with a select few, self-created into an aristocracy in Visaskarma, a clan of warriors who valued imagination and swagger above all else. This aristocratic clan, while priding themselves on their unique flair and elegance, were dedicated to helping others and took on various jobs to aid those in need. Their noble pursuits were not merely for personal glory but to uphold the ideals of justice and protection for the vulnerable.

The Merchant’s Request

One day, a merchant sought their help to hunt down a notorious thief. The Keepsake of the Pride, along with his comrade Einsatzia, took on the task. Einsatzia, with her keen observational skills, inspected the crime scene meticulously. She then summoned the entire neighborhood, declaring with unwavering confidence that she knew who the culprit was. Her elegance and assurance were so compelling that the thief, unable to bear the pressure, confessed. The thief and an accomplice attempted to fight back, providing The Keepsake of the Pride the perfect opportunity to showcase his newly crafted outer-reality weapon. The battle was swift, and the culprits were apprehended, adding another victory to the clan's reputation.

The Ruffians' Challenge

Another day, the clan was requested to handle a gang of ruffians who were vandalizing the city. Chalislimia, the older sister, issued an open invitation to the ruffians to challenge them directly at their mansion. The ruffians, fueled by anger and resentment over their status as outcasts, accepted the challenge and began trashing the place. Chalislimia and The Keepsake of the Pride quickly subdued them. Instead of punishment, Chalislimia offered them a chance to work at the mansion and prove their worth, teaching them that proper conduct could earn them respect and dignity.

The Monster Hunt

A more perilous request came when a monster, known as the Voidcharmer, began kidnapping children. The Keepsake of the Pride was dispatched to deal with the threat. He engaged the Voidcharmer in battle, but the monster's strength proved overwhelming. Realizing the immediate danger to the children, he focused on rescuing them. At this critical moment, Alize appeared and effortlessly vanquished the monster, leaving The Keepsake of the Pride stunned and humbled by her power. Alize, surrounded by the children's admiration, left them in his care, uninterested in their adulation.

The Rivalry with Alize

Flabbergasted at being outshined, The Keepsake of the Pride had Bezelia, one of the clan's maids, investigate the mysterious woman. Determined to prove his superiority, he challenged Alize, insisting on a duel. Alize found him annoying but eventually agreed, only to easily defeat him. This defeat shocked his clan, who saw potential in this rivalry to improve his skills. Recognizing this, The Keepsake of the Pride declared Alize his rival and engaged her in numerous battles, often ending in his defeat but also pushing him to greater heights.

Alize’s Transformation and Military Enlistment

During one such challenge, Alize revealed she would undergo a procedure to perfect the Suggslock process, rendering her unable to fight for some time. Determined to match her, The Keepsake of the Pride decided to enlist in the Sliholphin army. Despite his clan's objections, he proved his commitment by defeating them in combat and left to join the army, driven by the desire to fight Alize on equal terms.

The Cosmolantis and the Suggslock Process

Years later, the Auras of the Keepsakes were completed, and the Cosmolantis of Visaskarma gathered to test their new powers. The Keepsake of the Pride, now donning his maximal aura, was delighted with his newfound strength. He sought out Alize, revealing his transformation and the enhancements from the suggslock process. Alize, surprised and worried about the aura's effect on his psyche, accepted his challenge, and their rivalry resumed on new, more powerful grounds.

War and Betrayal

When war broke out, splitting the world into the Sliholphin and Vragvirion factions, The Keepsake of the Pride remained loyal to Sliholphin, while Alize joined Vragvirion. This emotional betrayal amplified the animosity between them, turning their rivalry into a bitter enmity. The Keepsake of the Pride's aura indeed altered his personality, intensifying his aggression and thirst for battle.

The Betrayal and Exile

Following the successful sealing of Vragvirion's Eight Warlords, the Cosmolantis of Visaskarma were betrayed by their leaders and exiled to Aesarthim through a grand-meta-narrative gate. This act of treachery left The Keepsake of the Pride and his comrades stranded in an alien world, with their powers bound by the eight great Aliezmus that Sliholphin had used to seal the land.

Adapting to Aesarthim

In Aesarthim, The Keepsake of the Pride struggled to adapt to his new reality. The betrayal had left deep scars, and the once confident and swaggering warrior now harbored a burning desire for vengeance. He continued to hone his skills and foster his rivalry with Alize, each encounter pushing him further towards his ultimate goal. Despite the hardships, his aristocratic pride remained unbroken, and he endeavored to maintain the values of imagination and elegance that defined his clan.
