You are reading story Zyos – NPC at novel35.com

As a child, Zyos was abandoned by his parents for being a Ghra-Ken under the foot of the Eyl-Av'yth Gashuul, the most deadly dungeon of the Call-Avith Continent which homes many of the Beastfolk. However, contrary to their belief, the baby was not devoured by the monsters but thrived as it was seen as part of the Dungeon by the Dungeon itself. As a Ghra-Ken, Zyos possessed power from the Ancient Evil which meant he was part of the Dungeon. He grew among monsters and was sheltered by Eyl-Av'yth Gashuul herself, the Dungeon Core. 

She was enthralled by the small creature that possessed such potential... She fed him the blood of monsters and meat of mortals, and he grew knowing only how to fight. However, when he reached the age of 8, the Eyl-Av'yth Gashuul was conquered and she was slaughtered by the hands of the mortal Hero of the Human Empire of the Continent of X'yalith known as Valery Esilph. She saw the poor creature there found, her eyes caught his marks that gave the same feeling a Ghra-Ken gave to its onlookers and she decided to raise him as her own.

However, such thing was met with the disgust and rejection of every single noble of the Helevian Empire, and after a coup, they seized the child and declared Valery Esilph a traitor of the human race. She fled but took with her the poor child, she did not live long after a powerful Necromancer under the control of the Helevian Empire cast upon her blood a curse that withered her life-force.

At her final moments, she collapsed before an orphanage at the far end of the Queendom of F'yloth on the Elven Continent of Velshya, in a small isolated village by the name of Savaleer. She begged the owner and only caretaker, Ylto Von Exuvy to take care of the child, and before collapsing upon the ground she named him: Zyos Zearen Zavyr - Of the Ancient Elven language of the only standing kingdom of Klavarin, meaning: To Plant, To Grow, To Bloom.
