He grew up in the quaint village of Ravenal, located next to a river, where farming is the primary means of survival. In the village, almost everyone is blessed by either Earth or Water, and as these are the most useful elements for farming, other blessings are looked down upon. As his Wind blessing is mostly useless, he feels isolated, keeping mostly to himself, with only his little sister Dena as a close bond. Her Water blessing has minor healing properties, so she is well liked, but acts brash to people who look down on her brother. Their mother died when giving birth to Dena, and their father is busy working.

One day, Ravenal is raided by a small group of bandits, which kill a few unprepared and unarmed villagers, before being stopped by a wandering knight who happens to be in the village. Eron manages to take down two bandits after finding a sword on the ground, using his Wind blessing to evade attacks and knock them off balance. He is however unable to save his sister or father. The wandering knight saw his combat prowess, and asks him to be his disciple. With no family left and not being wanted in the village anyways, he joins the knight, who introduces himself as Gefalt. They wander for two years, where Gefalt, who has a Fire blessing, teaches him about using Blessings in combat.

One day they see a recruitment poster for a mercenary group, and Gefalt tells Eron to sign up and go his own way, as this will be a valuable experience.
