I've got a fair bit of ground to cover but here goes...
As part of his training to become a Martial Ranger, Rip Vykirson answered a distress call in the forest of Vahalland. What he discovered was a camper illegally staying there.
The Mystery Camper was beset by a terrifying large primate, a Frost Giant.
Rip defeated the monster, only to discover that this Camper was actually a mercenary and out for blood, specifically the blood of Rip's adopted father, Vykir. The merc's partner arrived and Rip barely managed to fight them off.
Vykir and Rip's older sister Freya arrived and rescued Rip from the Mercenaries, named Erick and Moira. Soon after, the mercs escaped.
Rip and his famliy returned home. And it was revealed that he was ready to be recruited into the ranks of the Martial Rangers. But during the ceremony, Rip and Vykir were surprised by one of Vykir's old enemies.
Rip was sent away by the villainous Loki's Teleportation ability and Vykir was captured. Erick has been working for Loki the entire time and proceeds to capture Rip's mother as well.
Rip appears just outside of a family friend's house that is burning. The arsonist is one of Loki's warriors, Jotunna. The two engage in combat, and after a great struggle, Rip is victorious. Erick has also betrayed Loki and is now following Rip for his own dastardly ends...
And that's where it's left off now. There's a new chapter tomorrow though...
