The Solver of All Formulas

Even a world of magic isn't perfect.
Any kingdom, empire, country and world has something wrong with them on a fundamental level. It's in the pursuit of fixing this wrongness that progress is made to better everything. If those worlds, countries, empires and kingdoms simply accept the wrongness as a necessary part of existing, that's where mistakes are made. Kingdoms fall, empires shatter the world burns and countries fall into disarray. The truth of the matter that I'm trying to convey is that nothing is perfect, not even magical countries of near absolute power.
When I first arrived here, I would have instantly agreed, as I was instantly subjected to cruelties that I had only heard about in boring history classes. But after my long, painful journey I've come to realize something. The more you want, the more you have to pay for it. I have also come to realize something else, that even in this dystopia of hate, discrimination and fear, we still wouldn't have gotten very far if people were just as loathe to kill as they were to die. It is for this reason I try not to do either.
My quest has been hard, it's been long, but I hope it'll be worth it in the end. It is my dream to change this country into what it thinks it is. It is my dream to make a country, where all anyone has to do is lay down, and take a nice, long afternoon nap.
I OWN NOTHING!!!!!!!! (Except for the story and a lot of the characters)
*Ahem*… with that out of the way let me introduce myself! My name is Runescrypt, but you dear readers can call me Rune. For those of you wondering yes, this IS a crossover with the Legend of the Legendary Heroes, but not directly. This is, in fact, a story for the Displaced universe. Now now, I can hear the groans from here, just hear me out okay? Like I said it is a Displaced story, but at the same time it isn't. Instead, this is kind of a precursor. Sure, this one does involve the Merchant, but that's it! No crossovers with other stories or anything like that. This one is an adventure through the ancient past and sets a backstory to some conflicts in the show as well as this story's sequel. Yes, this story will have a sequel, and that's where all of the standard Displaced shenanigans will ensue.
With that out of the way, here's hoping you made it through that monstrosity of a disclaimer, I hope you enjoy this story and it's flaws. And feel free to say whatever in the comments if you desire, I honestly don't give a crap. NOW! ONWARDS TO ADVENTURE!!!!!
