Frozen, I stood in front of the drawer. I just got those letters
From not knowing what to feel anymore since I had been lied to
since the day I was born. It felt like I had a concussion. My head was spinning
and I gather enough courage to read through the other letters that
were left from there.
The following letter was a reply to my parent's letter and read as
follows: "We cannot express how grateful we are to know that
our son is safe. Our only way of showing gratitude is through these
Letters and little monetary support that we can send to you in our bad conditions.
The DracoFist family is currently under attack, and the prominent family is the only
part left of what the DracoFist were; we are sorry to say that the only thing
We can hope right now for the survival of Raphael DracoFist, the heir to
the DracoFist family. Lastly, we want to know our son's condition after
the seals
Why was this only resurfacing now? This wasn't a coincidence since it happened whenthe markings showed up on my body after going through a couple of oddly suspicious flashes ofmy past. It was impossible…and to add up to that, only a week before the rift incident took place,Which almost looked like a fever dream or more close to a nightmare.The pages on the book felt brand new even though They had been there for more than seventeen years,I felt a strange aura that resonated with me coming from the book. It was weird but comforting. Never had I felt anything close to the ambiance in my life since my innate talent had not awakened yet.The pages contained so much information on the possibilities of what my innate talent could awaken as. Still, most importantly, I had more to know about the family that I came from. They were the first rankedamong the five powerhouses: The House of Angels, Fiend Famiglia, The House of Blue moo
Furious from what I'd seen until now, I got up, walked into our house to change, and started thinking about how I could take down this filth that put itself so high. The main target is the House of Royal Angels, followed by other big families. I was still disgusted by the previous encounter in those visions. Taking out a bunch of herbs I used as painkillers. I got a bunch of old blank papers and started writing down what I needed to do to resurrect the DracoFists.The main reason I was even alive was by sheer luck or coincidence, definitely not skill. "I should get myself some good armor." The only issue is the lack of money. I really needed a TEC(Talent Evaluation Card), which you could only get from being a part of a family or a branch of the big family. I did not have the luxury. Unfortunately, I had to resort to using my undeveloped powers.A wave of fatigue hit me like a truck, and the main reason was that I had stayed locked up so long by myself. I needed some re
I walked forward, looking straight ahead. I began to feel nauseous from the sheer anger towards the four great families. "Scum remains scum, I guess...". Nothing had changed since what appeared to be my family's disappearance. They were still the same. The sole purpose of their getting rid of them was that my family had a different perspective and, for a change, wanted to give everyone a chance at getting strong. Although their hands weren't clean either, the DracoFist family had tried their best to change the ways of the nobles when Orion, my father, became family head.I enter one of the inns of Angels Household in an attempt to begin gathering intel on how they work from the inside. I sit in front bartender, and he gives me a curious look. "New face haven't seen you here before."I shoot back with a smirk; "You didn't have a reason to until now.""So you looking for trouble, youngin?" - "Not at all, old man. I'm here to get a talent evaluation card," he cough
Woke up, my shoulders stiff as ever, like I hadn't slept a minute. I made something ready for the kids to eat and left for the basement, where I had planned to clean up and prepare my base.Things looked like I had left them last time since my mind was not in the right place, and I tunnel-visioned into getting my revenge. The papers were scattered, and sharp claw marks were on the basement floor. Not thinking twice, I grab a broom that I made myself, not that we had the money to get a good broom anyway. "Money…" the thought of money made me realize that I had a severe lack of resources to begin my big plan. Starting small and steady was the right option.Making plans in the heat of the moment was not the right thing to do. Gathering intel on the small family branches and ensuring that I got into Xenovia academy were top priorities. After 2 hours of cleaning, I was finally done, and the letters that had been in the drawer were put in order across the wall as a wa
The man who ordered me to sit and begin the trial was standing before me. On the other hand, I was stunned. I'd been told that this is a test on what to expect from a 4th-3rd rank rift. What was going through that man's head, I was wondering."Come on quickly, young man. We don't have all day, sadly."Hurriedly I took a seat, picked black, and he started a timer. "Do you know how to play chess?" the old man asks. "Well, I've heard of it but never had a chessboard to play with." That's unfortunate uh...what was your name again. "Sorry I forgot to mention it, my name is Raphael, what do i call you?"-"You can call me Iran." he said.I hesitated for a moment since I didn't want to claim that I was a DracoFist in front of a probable future enemy. "Raphael who, don't you have a surname young boy." he says, eagerly waiting for my move and answer. I move knight f6 and proceed cautiously. "How can a slum rat like me have a surname sir."He was visibly amused by my
"Follow me now, Raphael. We need to make sure you get a new profile to enter the academy." He said while almost dragging me to the front desk that I had been at initially."Your license needs to be renewed for your name not to grab any attention. The least you can do right now is move in with me."He kept his voice firm as if not to accept any other answer. "Tanna will be your secretary and be close to you to fulfil your needs and wants, and she will keep you out of any legal trouble." We finally arrived at the reception, and Tanna gave me a flirty smile like she always did when I interacted with her."Meeting in 1 hour exactly, don't ask questions." Iran cut her off as she was getting ready to greet us."Yes, sir", she replied immediately.[Iran Rosewood's Villa]In terms of information, I had no reliable source, so the only thing I could do was rely on Iran at the moment. We then left the RWC and went to Iran's mansion soon after. He did not enter
Tanna and I entered the bottom floor and were greeted by the housekeepers. Unlike the other royal house servants I'd seen before, these looked genuinely happy. Although unexpected, Iran was good to be different from the other nobles."Don't zone out and follow me we have a ton that you need to learn." Tanna interrupted my thoughts and pulled out two cards, handing them to me. "Im guessing you know what this is."", Yes, it's a talent evaluation card, but why do we need them?""You and your brothers will be entering the academy in one week, so getting them evaluated must be done," she said as we walked through the corridor. I currently had no idea where we were going and just followed her. We finally arrived in front of a door at the end of the hall."This is where you will train intensively with me as your instructor; you need to get in shape quickly for the academy acceptance test." Tanna pushed the door in front of us, and we entered a place that looked
"Come, Raphael, I want to talk to you about something." without hesitation she pulled me towards her room. Unlike before when she was dressed casually, she was now in a nightgown that didn't leave much to the imagination."What's wrong Tanna, why the sudden hold up?" I got flustered for a moment when our bodies met for a quick moment."Take a seat near the bed, I need to take measures for clothing," she said as she took out her measure tools. "We wouldn't want you to look bad in front of those snobs."Young nobles all around were known for dressing and going to occasional dances that they held within different households. Getting new clothes was exciting and all but what was floating in my mind right now was that the girl I had been interested in since my early years was standing in front of me, with nothing to hide.I had to get my mind out of the gutter she was just taking measures, that's it. After a short whil
