I felt similarly to Glaisaurus upon seeing that Valden had left the village for two whole years, but reading the second chapter gave a very good explanation as to why, so I wouldn't see anything wrong with that. If anything, the fact that any child that young would disappear for two whole years over a game gives the feeling that something is wrong.
Can't wait to see more from you, Legendium! ^_^
