With steady steps, Stefan walked toward the university gates. Inside, a new world awaited him—a world full of challenges, opportunities, and mysteries waiting to be solved.
Stefan walked confidently into the Coders University campus. Every corner of the university felt larger than anything he had ever imagined. Skyscrapers towered above him, and the modern facilities left him in awe. Though everything looked futuristic, his heart drifted back to the small town he had left behind—Riverton. That place was full of memories, and even though he had just arrived in the capital, he could already feel how vast the real world truly was.
On his way to the registration office to take care of administrative matters, Stefan took a moment to sit in the beautiful campus park. Around him, many students gathered—chatting, laughing, or simply enjoying the atmosphere. Stefan could sense the energy and excitement in the air, a completely different vibe from the calm and quiet of Riverton.
Yet deep inside, a growing curiosity stirred within Stefan. During his journey to the capital, he had been thinking about many things. Here, in this city, he was now a part of a much bigger world—a world that connected countless places and held many layers. His thoughts drifted back to something Uncle John had told him not long ago.
"Stefan, always remember that the world is far bigger than what we see," Uncle John had said as they said their goodbyes at the bus terminal. "There are many places, many people, and many opportunities. Never be afraid to go further."
Stefan closed his eyes for a moment, as if trying to absorb those words. The world truly was enormous. In fact, according to Uncle John, the world was organized into a vast system—with provinces, regions, and cities all interconnected, forming a massive network where each part influenced the others.
In this world, there was a great nation known as Terra Coders. This country was divided into two main parts: the capital city, which served as the center of government, business, and education; and the surrounding provinces that stretched across the nation. Each province had its own unique characteristics and strengths, from culture to industry, yet all were linked within a larger system.
Terra Coders was made up of twelve main provinces, each with its own distinctive traits and roles in supporting the country's progress—ranging from natural resources and technological industries to programming prowess. These provinces included: Nornel, Helia, Selva, Tertius, Dystra, Lumina, Erylia, Ashford, Caelus, Cyria, Ignis, and finally, Elysium, the province where Stefan was from.
