Wakfu

Grougaloragran, a mysterious and ancient entity, appears one with a baby carriage. After defeating a mysterious foe with powers over time, who wants Grougaloragran's life force, or "Wakfu", Grougaloragran comes across Alibert, who is quitting his profession as a bounty hunter after almost taking a innocent man to jail. Grougaloragran leaves the baby carriage with Alibert, believing that he will be a good father to the baby inside. He also leaves a message for the adoptive father, along with a baby Tofu (Bird). 12 years later, Alibert has opened an inn and established a small town. The boy, now called Yugo, believes himself to be a ordinary boy until he discovers that he has the ability to create portals. He puts it to the test when a monster rampages though town, ending up at his Inn. Ruel, who was passing though town, teams up with Yugo and defeats the beast, which turns out to have been a Iop possessed by a demon trapped in an item, in this case a sword known as a Shushu. Alibert, seeing Yugo's power, decides to tell him the truth: that he is adopted and that his real family is out there somewhere.

The village is attacked by Polters, creatures that turn humans into shrubs, Yugo and his team go to the Forbidden Forest to find out why the Polters are doing this. Inside they encounter the ruler of the forest, the Soft Oak, who plans to turn all humans into trees in revenge for the destruction his forest has suffered. Amalia, a member of Yugo's party, convinces Soft Oak that not all men are like this and that only free men can protect the forests. She then heals him with magic and he agrees to turn the shrubs back into humans. In the village, Yugo and his father are attacked by the time villain from 12 years ago, now revealed to be a Xelor named Nox. Nox manipulates time to age Alibert rapidly and he calls Yugo a Eliatrope, swearing to get Yugo's Wakfu one day. Alibert, knowing that Yugo deserves to know the truth, tells him that his real family, the Eliatrope race, are out there somewhere at a place called Oma Island. Yugo's friends agree to help him find his real family and stop Nox and set off for the adventure.

The group goes to Kelba's market in search of a map to begin their quest. When they arrive they find the marketplace under attack by the Black Crow. The groups learns about a shop run by Kabrok, a old adventurer who hung up his cape and became a stock boy, and Miranda, who is Kabrok's strict, but loving, wife. They have a map the group can buy, but are unable to sell thanks to the Black Crow. The heroes lay a trap for the Black Crow and are able to take him down. The Black Crow is revealed to be Kabrok, who was bored with his life, craved adventure again, and felt that attacking the local merchants was the way to get it. Kabrok and his wife sell the group a map.
